Produktbeschreibung
This is the story of Jane and Kenji. It's a story about love, and a story about disaster. It's summer on Hilo, and ambitious, driven Jane Yoon is home from college. Waiting tables one evening, she crosses paths with Kenji Lee, a boy from her childhood whose present and future are firmly rooted on their little island. Over the summer, a spark ignites between this unlikely pairing. But when a tsunami hits the island, Jane and Kenji are plunged into grief, and torn apart. While Kenji knows he has to stay and rebuild their home, Jane flees - and doesn't look back. Seven years later, far from home, Jane and Kenji's paths cross again - by chance, or by fate? Everything to the Sea is a tale of regret and remembrance, home-building and homecoming, betrayal and forgiveness. And above all, it is a story about love: what it survives, and what it can rebuild.

Rezensionen
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
