"To Paradise" is a captivating novel by Hanya Yanagihara, the acclaimed author of "A Little Life." Spanning three centuries and three distinct versions of utopia, this bold and brilliant work delves into the depths of human desire to protect those we love, while exploring the pain that arises when we are unable to do so.

In an alternate version of 1893 America, New York is a part of the Free States, where individuals are free to live and love as they please, or so it seems. Meanwhile, in 1993 Manhattan, amidst the AIDS epidemic, a young Hawaiian man lives with his much older, wealthy partner, hiding his troubled childhood and the fate of his father. In 2093, in a world ravaged by plagues and ruled by totalitarian rule, a powerful scientist's damaged granddaughter navigates life without him, while also attempting to solve the mystery of her husband's disappearance.

What unites these characters and these Americas is their exploration of the human qualities of fear, love, shame, loneliness, and the yearning for a place in earthly paradise. "To Paradise" is a rare and revolutionary work that will leave readers weeping in public and utterly transformed. It is a testament to Yanagihara's exceptional storytelling and her profound understanding of the human condition.
