- Summary:
- The long-awaited follow-up to the acclaimed A Bridge Between Us and a finely crafted novel for readers of Kathryn Harrison and Chang-rae Lee, Invisible Gardens is a beautiful, haunting story of a year in the life of Lily Soto, a young Japanese- American academic who finds herself in the throes of an early midlife crisis in suburban New Mexico, where she lives with her husband and two young children. An extended stay by Lily's aging father brings back painful memories of her mother--and amplifies how their strained relationship has become a legacy in Lily's perfectly constructed, but painfully flawed life. As Lily struggles, a male colleague asserts himself into her life and forces her to examine her most intimate relationships.
