A twisting tale of love, loss, and dark family secrets.”\n— Paula Hawkins, #1 New York\nTimes bestselling author of The Girl\non the Train and Into\nthe Water\nA poignant and suspenseful drama\nthat untangles the complicated ties binding three women—two sisters and their\nmother—in one Chinese immigrant family and explores what happens when the\neldest daughter disappears, and a series of family secrets emerge, from the New York Times bestselling\nauthor of Girl in\nTranslation\n\nIt begins with a mystery. Sylvie, the beautiful, brilliant, successful older\ndaughter of the Lee family, flies to the Netherlands for one final visit with\nher dying grandmother—and then vanishes.\nAmy, the sheltered baby of the\nLee family, is too young to remember a time when her parents were newly\nimmigrated and too poor to keep Sylvie. Seven years older, Sylvie was raised by\na distant relative in a faraway, foreign place, and didn’t rejoin her family in\nAmerica until age nine. Timid and shy, Amy has always looked up to her sister,\nthe fierce and fearless protector who showered her with unconditional love.\nBut what happened to Sylvie? Amy\nand her parents are distraught and desperate for answers. Sylvie has always\nlooked out for them. Now, it’s Amy’s turn to help. Terrified yet determined,\nAmy retraces her sister’s movements, flying to the last place Sylvie was seen.\nBut instead of simple answers, she discovers something much more valuable: the\ntruth. Sylvie, the golden girl, kept painful secrets . . . secrets that will\nreveal more about Amy’s complicated family—and herself—than she ever could have\nimagined.\nA deeply moving story of family,\nsecrets, identity, and longing, Searching\nfor Sylvie Lee is both a gripping page-turner and a sensitive\nportrait of an immigrant family. It is a profound exploration of the many\nways culture and language can divide us and the impossibility of ever\ntruly knowing someone—especially those we love.\n\n\n\n\n\n“This is a true beach read!
