  • Everything I Never Told You (2014) by Celeste Ng (Alex Award: 2015)
    Everything I Never Told You (2014) By Celeste Ng (Alex Award: 2015) Discussion Questions taken from Lit Lovers 1. Discuss the relationships between Nath, Lydia, and Hannah. How do the siblings both understand and mystify one another? 2. Why do you think Lydia is the favorite child of James and Marilyn? How does this pressure affect Lydia, and what kind of impact do you think it has on Nath and Hannah? Do you think it is more difficult for Lydia to be the favorite, or for Nath and Hannah, who are often overlooked by their parents? 3. “So part of him wanted to tell Nath that he knew: what it was like to be teased, what it was like to never fit in. The other part of him wanted to shake his son, to slap him. To shape him into something different.... When Marilyn asked what happened, James said merely, with a wave of the hand, 'Some kids teased him at the pool yesterday. He needs to learn to take a joke.’” 4. How did you react to the “Marco Polo” pool scene with James and Nath? What do you think of James’s decision? 5. Discuss a situation in which you’ve felt like an outsider. How do the members of the Lee family deal with being measured against stereotypes and others’ perceptions? 6. What is the meaning of the novel’s title? To whom do the “I” and “you” refer? 7. What would have happened if Lydia had reached the dock? Do you think she would have been able to change her parents’ views and expectations of her? 8.

Why you'll like it: Character-driven. Gripping. Complicated families. About the Author: Celeste Ng was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and raised in Shaker Heights, Ohio. She attended Harvard University and studied English. She went on to graduate school at the University of Michigan and earned her Master's of Fine Arts in writing. While attending the University of Michigan, Ng won the Hopwood Award for her short story, What Passes Over. Ng was a recipient of a Pushcart Prize in 2012 for her story Girls, At Play. Her debut novel, Everything I Never Told You: A Novel, is a literary thriller that focuses on an American family in 1970s Ohio. Little Fires Everywhere is her second novel. Questions for Discussion 1. How would you describe Mrs. Richardson and Mia, the two mothers in this novel? In what ways are they different? Why might the former always be referred to as “Mrs.” rather than Elena, while Mia is always referred to her by her first name? Clearly it is done purposely by the author: how does it shape the way we feel about the two women? 2. Talk about the four Richardson children, Lexi, Trip, Moody, and Izzy. Are any of the four more sympathetic than others? What is their relationship to one another? How does their affluence shape their outlooks on life? 3.

    ONEWORLD TURNS THIRTY This summer marks Oneworld’s 30th birthday, but it feels like the celebrations began a year early. 2015 was a truly extraordinary year for us, with almost a dozen prize nominations and three wins, among them the Man Booker Prize for Marlon James’ A Brief History of Seven Killings, the FT & McKinsey Business Book of the Year Award for The Rise of the Robots by Martin Ford and the Pushkin House Russian Book Prize for Serhii Plokhy’s The Last Empire. This year has seen more of Oneworld’s authors receive the awards and attention we think they thoroughly deserve: Emma Watson chose Gloria Steinem’s memoir, My Life on the Road, as the first read for her Our Shared Shelf Book Club, The Sellout by Paul Beatty won the prestigious National Book Critics Circle Award and was shortlisted for the Bollinger Everyman Wodehouse Prize for Comic Fiction, and the hugely promising debut writer Mia Alvar won the Barnes & Noble Discover Great New Writers Award for her stunning collection, In the Country. Oh, and we won the IPG Trade Publisher of the Year Award 2016. Oneworld was founded on a hunger for quality writing and a passion for connecting readers to the world around them. True to the promise of our name, we have always sought to be non-parochial, open-minded and cosmopolitan in taste. These values still lie at the very heart of the company 30 years on, and extend to both our new children and YA imprint Rock the Boat, which turns one this summer, and our new crime imprint, Point Blank, launched in February.
