5By ronalitomlIt's rare to find a book that cogently tackles a bevy of issues---racism, sexism, marital strife, interracial marriage, parenting, homosexuality, extramarital affairs, death of a child---and that doesn't devolve into a "Lifetime Movie of the Week" melodrama. Celeste Ng's debut novel "Everything I Never Told You" succeeds beautifully in being that rare unsentimental tearjerker of a novel. It is real, brutally honest, and believable.
