About the Book:. To Paradise unfolds across three distinct eras. In an alternate 1893 America, New York belongs to the Free States, where love and marriage appear unconstrained by convention, yet a young heir's resistance to an arranged match reveals the quiet cost of freedom within a gilded world. The novel shifts to 1993 Manhattan, where a young Hawaiian man, sharing his life with an older, wealthier partner, must confront a hidden family history and the shadow of the AIDS epidemic. Finally, in 2093, a dystopian near-future ravaged by plagues and ruled by an authoritarian state, the granddaughter of a powerful scientist searches for answers about her missing husband while reckoning with inherited guilt.
