Everything I Never Told You: by Celeste Ng | Summary & Analysis

This is a Summary & Analysis of Everything I Never Told You. Celeste Ng's Everything I Never Told You is a many-layered novel about family, race, secrets and love. When Marilyn Walker and James Lee meet at college in the late 1950's, a mixed-race relationship is something unusual and socially questionable.

The story begins in the mid-seventies, a time of political and social upheaval, when many parts of life formerly taken for granted are uncertain and subject to change. This is the milieu in which Lydia Lee vanishes one night. The reader knows from the first line that Lydia is dead; what happened to her is not the mystery. The mystery is how it happened.
