NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER OPRAH S BOOK CLUB PICK From the author of Dear Edward comes a powerfully affecting (People) family story that asks: Can love make a broken person whole?

Another tender tearjerker . . . Napolitano chronicles life s highs and lows with aching precision. The Washington Post

William Waters grew up in a house silenced by tragedy, where his parents could hardly bear to look at him, much less love him so when he meets the spirited and ambitious Julia Padavano in his freshman year of college, it s as if the world has lit up around him. With Julia comes her family, as she and her three sisters are inseparable: Sylvie, the family s dreamer, is happiest with her nose in a book; Cecelia is a free-spirited artist; and Emeline patiently takes care of them all. With the Padavanos, William experiences a newfound contentment; every moment in their house is filled with loving chaos.

But then darkness from William s past surfaces, jeopardizing not only Julia s carefully orchestrated plans for their future, but the sisters unshakeable devotion to one another. The result is a catastrophic family rift that changes their lives for generations. Will the loyalty that once rooted them be strong enough to draw them back together when it matters most?

An exquisite homage to Louisa May Alcott s timeless classic, Little Women, Hello Beautiful is a profoundly moving portrait of what is possible when we choose to love someone not in spite of who they are, but because of it.mehr

Kritik
This sumptuous family saga is one of those rare novels whose singular characters are so beautifully rendered, it s as if they re your best friends, and you re grateful to be in their orbit. Napolitano s homage to Little Women, albeit set in late-20thcentury Chicago, will prompt you to slow down as you read, never wanting the book to end. When it does, prepare for tears. Oprah Quarterly

Ann Napolitano s new novel, Hello Beautiful, is exactly that: beautiful, perceptive, wistful. It s a story of family and friendship, of how the people we are bound to can also set us free. I loved it. Miranda Cowley Heller, New York Times bestselling author of The Paper Palace

A rich, complex family saga, Hello Beautiful is a portrait of love and grief in equal measure. Napolitano s prose is so lovely, so keenly perceptive, that it held me captive until I finished. A lot of people are going to love this story. Mary Beth Keane, New York Times bestselling author of Ask Again, Yes

Hello Beautiful is a profoundly moving and propulsive novel about the deepest connections of family and love, trauma and healing. In intricately elegant prose, Ann Napolitano explores both the cost and power of loyalty and honesty. This is a book to treasure and share with friends and loved ones. Angie Kim, bestselling author of Miracle Creek

Hello Beautiful is the work of a great author at the height of her powers. Equally immersive, emotional, and brilliantly crafted, this is an early contender for best novel of the year. J. Ryan Stradal, New York Times bestselling author of Kitchens of the Great Midwest

This is a story about family and sisters and storytelling, but it s also an examination of identity and the consequences of doing love badly and how love can be redeemed. Read this book! You ll be glad you did. Therese Anne Fowler, New York Times bestselling author of It All Comes Down to This

This is a richly woven story about family, but it s also a unique take on Little Women. There are no heroes or villains here, only people flawed and loving and striving like the rest of us. Generosity is the word that comes to mind when I reflect on this gorgeous novel. Allegra Goodman, New York Times bestselling author of The Cookbook Collector and Sam

Sweeping . . . With the vibrant and close-knit Pilson neighborhood playing a supporting role, Napolitano s latest novel investigates the deep, maddeningly frustrating, and ever-present love of family, whether tied by genetics or by choice. Booklist, starred review
