880-03,"The new novel by Hanya Yanagihara, the author of the world bestsellers "Little Life" and "People Among the Trees", is both an extraordinary intellectual challenge and a well-aimed hit in every heart. In an alternative version of America in 1893, when the offspring of an influential family agrees to a worthy marriage by agreement, he is suddenly overtaken by a passion that threatens to destroy his usual life. In 1993, a young Hawaiian hides his noble origin and difficult relationship with his father from his relatives. In 2093, the granddaughter of a great scientist finds her own way in the world of epidemics and total control. Their destinies are intertwined into a complex symphony, echoing in a strange way through the centuries and going through eternal human trials: loneliness, love, shame, illness, betrayal, good and evil - all these elusive things, every now and then striving to turn into their opposite." --,Cataloger's translation.
