Everything to the Sea: An unforgettable love story about loss, betrayal, homecoming and second chances
Autor Alicia Upanoen Limba Engleză Paperback – 20 iul 2027
It's a story about love - and a story about disaster.
Jane is back in her hometown of Hilo, Hawai?i for one last summer - before her life can truly begin. She isn't looking for Kenji, or to fall in love with him.
What comes next is a story of grief and loss, betrayal and forgiveness, destruction and the dream of rebuilding. And ultimately, what it means to belong to a place - and to each other.

Recenzii
I was utterly entranced by this beautiful novel. Expansive, yet deeply personal, it moves seamlessly between themes of grief, love, family, and duty with an authenticity and humanness that is irresistible
The gorgeous debut by Upano throws Jane - who is home on the island of Hilo, Hawaii, for one last summer before becoming an architect - together with Kenji, who remembers her from high school. The intoxication of unexpected first love is cut brutally short by a tsunami that destroys much of the island and forces hard decisions
Both storm and siren-song, a profoundly moving debut full of calamities, heartbreaks and boundless sweeping love. Alicia Upano is the kind of talent that appears once in a generation
This is the rare novel that activates all of your senses. It's a survival story, a coming-of-age story, and a love story. Each thread left me breathless - and Upano wove it all together into a novel that will stay with me for a long time
A tender, beautifully written story of love, loss and the weight of home
Alicia Upano's sensitive and deeply-felt debut explores the aftermath - personal, cultural, and environmental - of a crisis in one Hawai'i town. Both a love story and a testament to the power of community, Everything to the Sea offers a meditation on grief as well as a hopeful vision of rebuilding
The type of story that is so necessary for humanity at this moment, brimming full of compassion, which teaches us to be gentle with ourselves in the aftermath of spectacular tragedy. I couldn't stop reading and found myself thinking about Kenji and Jane in the moments I was away from the book. Tender, gut wrenching and propulsive, Everything to the Sea is balm for the soul. It's a powerful love story and ultimately a life affirming tale of what can grow out tremendous loss - but only if we can learn to forgive ourselves
With controlled, incisive prose, Alicia Upano harnesses and unleashes the fury of nature and life-defining love - and what happens when the two come in opposition. Hyper-rooted in place and the social fabric of an island community, Everything to the Sea is a story of unthinkable upheaval that tests and redefines every form of loyalty: to love, to family, to land, to the future. An arresting, profound, and fiercely beautiful debut
With all the force of a tidal wave and the tenderness of a romance, Everything to the Sea tells two equally powerful stories of an island community and two young lovers, whose fates are swept together by a tsunami. At once epic and human-scale, this novel places our lives, families, passions, and tragedies within a turbulent landscape. It is compassionate and merciless, beautiful and devastating, honest and ultimately hopeful. Alicia Upano has made an extraordinary debut
With equal parts wisdom and wit, Everything to the Sea tells about love as it's felt when frustrated or betrayed in the face of too many other needed and urgent things, and the many ways that one finds family in surprising, beautiful turns. Alicia Upano's striking debut will simultaneously quicken your pulse and force you to slow down, take a deep breath - this is a life-affirming, heartbreaking novel you won't want to miss
Everything to the Sea is an epic and deeply moving love story, as much about how grief changes us as it is about how great love can do the same. In stunning and stylish prose, Alicia Upano follows the aftermath of tragedy - survival, recovery, and transformation - taking up the question of what we owe to the places and people we call home
Sweeping through time and across distance, Everything to the Sea is a beautiful and soul-stirring novel about the way that forces beyond our control can ravage a place or a landscape but not, ultimately, the heart
This deeply emotional epic of undying love follows Hawaiian lovers Jane and Kenji in the aftermath of a devastating tsunami. A grieving Jane vows never to return as Kenji works to rebuild their hometown
An incredlbly powerful debut
If only I could read the ending again for the first time
A nuanced literary romance, with lively, well-observed characterisation, understated humour, and a narrative that draws force from the conflict of values between the lovers
The debut novel of Hawaiian-born Alicia Upano is a tale of regret and remembrance, home-building and homecoming, betrayal and forgiveness
Emotional, raw and beautifully crafted
