Review: A hauntingly emotional tug at the soul - "Hello, Beautiful" by Ann Napolitano is a hauntingly emotional tug at the soul. While the pace is slow, it feels deliberate, allowing us readers to immerse ourselves in the language of the characters. William Waters is doomed from birth to become a damaged adult, accustomed to tucking his emotions away in order to function in the real world. Growing up in a house full of tragedy, with the sudden death of his sister, made him construct his own world, but it’s not built to last. As a freshman in college, William meets Julia Padavano, with her larger-than-life family, full of powerful sisters. Awkwardly and slowly, he learns to navigate their boisterous, loud family. Julia, driven to succeed, charts a life with William. They marry and have a child, and she sets William on a path to become a professor. But this is Julia’s dream and not one William can sustain. The darkness from William’s childhood swamps him, and the construct of his world collapses, a reality Julia cannot contemplate or deal with. She’s on a fast track to reach her dream, and having a husband have a mental breakdown is not on her list. When William goes off the deep end, it’s Sylvie, Julia’s sister, who recognizes the crisis. This recognition by Sylvie of who William is, and his struggle, sets William and the Padavano family on a new path. To make the path succeed, sacrifices must be made, and it’s Julia who recognizes this and who is determined to live up to her father’s expectations. Julia uproots herself to flee Chicago, where every street holds a family memory, to New York, to start over as a single mother with baby Alice. Decades slowly unravel, and the reader sees the depth of love coating Sylvie and William, the twin sisters Cecelia and Emeline, and William’s vast friendships thanks to his love of basketball. The characters in this novel are richly developed, layered much like Cecilia’s murals all throughout Chicago depicting powerful women (who resemble the Padavano women). This novel unmasks powerful women with tight bonds gluing them together as sisters, who must each learn to stand on their own, often meaning disappointing parental expectations to become truly independent. The male bonds of friendship were wonderful to see as the men in William's life rally around, keeping him afloat in the real world through his initial crisis and throughout the years. I dare any reader not to cry through the last few chapters as the wide gulf that had existed between the sisters is mended through a transformation of life’s expectations, faith, and the powerful love fueled by sisters. This novel will cling to me for a long time, and I highly recommend it as a must-read.
