To Paradise is an ambitious novel set across three alternate versions of America—1893, 1993, and 2093—each exploring themes of freedom, love, illness, and power. In 1893 New York, a young heir resists an arranged marriage for a forbidden romance. In 1993 Manhattan during the AIDS crisis, a Hawaiian man struggles with love, trauma, and secrecy. In 2093, in a dystopian world shaped by plague and totalitarian rule, a scientist’s granddaughter uncovers unsettling truths about her family and her missing husband. Connected by recurring characters, places, and ideas, the novel explores what it means to love, to suffer, and to belong in worlds that are constantly breaking and remaking themselves.
