About the book
After the disappearance of their beloved eldest daughter, a once-glamorous family prepares to leave behind the seeming paradise of 1960s Brazil for the safer shores of Canada. But as the family counts down the days to their departure, secrets and betrayals surface, exposing the heartbreaking truths behind the family's beautiful facade.
Rio de Janeiro, 1962: A young woman walks into the waters off a crowded beach and vanishes. A year later, her family - the once-golden family of their privileged little community - prepares to leave behind the seeming paradise of Brazil in the wake of their eldest daughter's presumed drowning. As they attend a series of goodbye parties and count down the days to their departure, we are taken into the heart of a family whose many charms belie more troubling truths.
There is the charismatic father, whose bipolar extremes are becoming increasingly disturbing; his long-suffering wife, who made a mistake that has shattering consequences for the family she meant to protect; and their two remaining daughters, both on the precipice of joining the adult world with all its secrets and lies. Then there is the lost daughter herself, a woman undone by her attempts to grasp at happiness.
Sensuous and beautifully written, All Is Beauty Now is a ravishing novel of family secrets, divided loyalties, and the lengths we'll go to save ourselves and our loved ones.
