'Powerful . . . A twisting tale of love, loss, and dark family
secrets' Paula Hawkins, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The
Girl on the Train and Into the Water It begins with a mystery.
Sylvie, the beautiful, brilliant, successful older daughter of the
Lee family, flies to the Netherlands for one final visit with her
dying grandmother - and then vanishes. Amy, the sheltered baby of
the Lee family, is too young to remember a time when her parents
were newly immigrated and too poor to keep Sylvie. Seven years
older, Sylvie was raised by a distant relative in a faraway,
foreign place, and didn't rejoin her family in America until age
nine. Timid and shy, Amy has always looked up to her sister, the
fierce and fearless protector who showered her with unconditional
love. But what happened to Sylvie? Amy and her parents are
distraught and desperate for answers. Sylvie has always looked out
for them. Now, it's Amy's turn to help. Terrified yet determined,
Amy retraces her sister's movements, flying to the last place
Sylvie was seen. But instead of simple answers, she discovers
something much more valuable: the truth. Sylvie, the golden girl,
kept painful secrets . . . secrets that will reveal more about
Amy's complicated family - and herself - than she ever could have
imagined. A deeply moving story of family, secrets, identity, and
longing, Searching for Sylvie Lee is both a gripping page-turner
and a sensitive portrait of an immigrant family. It is a profound
exploration of the many ways culture and language can divide us and
the impossibility of ever truly knowing someone - especially those
we love.
