khbroughton 's review for:

To Paradise by Hanya Yanagihara

4.0

This has been one of my more interesting reads as of late. Though I enjoyed it quite a bit, I found myself not quite able to connect the different pieces. Though it is one novel, it is essentially three different sections. Each section has its own unique story, though many pieces (names and places) overlap. I think that each Bingham is a distant relative of the one before, but I'm not really sure. I also can't quite figure out how the stories are connected. I think if that were more clear, the narrative would have felt more powerful. I also really enjoyed the ambiguity of each ending. The reader gets to make a lot of choice.
