HELLO BEAUTIFUL by Ann Napolitano (Dear Edward)
is an extremely well-written novel set primarily in Chicago. The multi-generational
story centers around the lives of four sisters, their parents, and children: “The
four Padavano girls shared their lives, celebrating and utilizing one another’s
strengths, covering for one another’s weaknesses. Julia was the organizer and
leader, Sylvie the reader and measured voice, Emeline the nurturer, and Cecelia
the artist.” With multiple narrators and much introspection, Napolitano encourages
her readers and characters to contemplate questions like “Was life constructed of
arrivals and departures?” In a book that I did not want to put down, she explores themes of family, love, and sacrifice.
