このコンテンツについて
This mesmerizing first novel follows a glamorous family as they prepare to leave the seeming paradise of Brazil for Canada in the wake to the mysterious disappearance -- and presumed drowning -- of their eldest daughter a year earlier. As the novel moves back and forth between the members of the Maurer family, we are taken into the heart of a family whose beauty and charm belie a more troubling reality.
We meet the family's brilliant and charismatic father, whose bipolar extremes are becoming increasingly disturbing; his long-suffering wife, who once had a brief affair that proves to have shattering consequences for the family she swore to protect; their two remaining daughters, both on the brink of understanding the darker currents that run in their once-proud family; and the lost daughter herself, a beautiful young woman undone by her own grand delusions.
Taking readers from the golden beaches of Rio to the poverty of its fishing villages, from the glamour of the legendary Copacabana Club to the austerity of a remote convent, this revelatory novel takes us into the soul of a family already living in the shadow of loss and now poised to leave behind everything they've ever known, if only they could make peace with the past.
批評家のレビュー
"This debut infuses the fierce familial love with the bitter ache of dreams lost and secrets kept. Faber's swirling, dreamlike prose paints a wildly beautiful Brazil. Readers will lose themselves in this delicately wrought, heartbreaking tale."—Publishers Weekly
"At once, an intimate family portrait, a mystery, a romance, and a stylistic tour de force. Think Alice Munro's The Lives of Girls and Women, Virginia Woolf's The Waves, Michael Ondaatje's Running in the Family and Jodorowsky's The Dance of Reality in a gloriously refreshing mash-up."—Johanna Skibsrud, Giller Prize winning author of The Sentimentalists
"At first blush a deft, kaleidoscopic chronicle of a family's grief after the disappearance of a 20-year-old daughter off the shores of Rio de Janeiro, ALL IS BEAUTY NOW is an unflinching look at the pervasive effect of secreted mental illness. Like the brilliant swirl of Carnival, the Maurer family's story possesses multiple layers of both splendor and affliction. I lost myself in its white sands, birds of paradise, and madness."
—Anne Korkeakivi, author of Shining Sea

"Notable for its lovely prose and melancholy empathy....All Is Beauty Now [is] a finely observed consideration of how mental illness impacts an entire family."—Kirkus
