And in 2093, in a world riven by plagues and governed by totalitarian rule, a powerful scientist’s damaged granddaughter tries to navigate life without him-and solve the mystery of her husband’s disappearances. In a 1993 Manhattan besieged by the AIDS epidemic, a young Hawaiian man lives with his much older, wealthier partner, hiding his troubled childhood and the fate of his father. The fragile young scion of a distinguished family resists betrothal to a worthy suitor, drawn to a charming music teacher of no means. In an alternate version of 1893 America, New York is part of the Free States, where people may live and love whomever they please (or so it seems). The plot spans three centuries and three different versions of the American experiment-here’s the plot summary: This will be Yanagihara’s first book since her controversial 2015 novel A Little Life. Prepare the discourse: Hanya Yanagihara’s next novel, To Paradise, will be released on January 11, 2022, by Doubleday in the US and Picador in the UK.
