An immensely powerful and heartbreaking novel of brotherly love and the limits of human endurance. Nichole Lee writing in the Washington Post wrote: “"through insightful detail and her decade-by-decade examination of these people's lives, Yanagihara has drawn a deeply realized character study that inspires as much as devastates.” Sam Sacks, writing in the Wall Street Journal wrote: "an epic study of trauma and friendship, written with such intelligence and depth of perception that it will be one of the benchmarks against which all other novels that broach those subjects (and they are legion) will be measured". Identified by Southern Living as one of the 50 Books from the past 50 Years everyone should read, at least once. Shortlisted for the 2015 Man Booker Prize, a finalist for the 2015 National Book Award, and winner winner of the 2015 Kirkus Prize in Fiction. It was also considered for the 2016 Women's Prize for Fiction.
