Product Information
Our narrator is the youngest student at the Conservatory. She produces a sound from the piano no one else does, employing a special technique she learned from her parents - also stunningly talented musicians - who fled China in the wake of the Cultural Revolution. But when an accident leaves her parents debilitated, she abandons her future as a pianist and accepts a job at a high-end beauty and wellness store in New York City. Holistik is known for its remarkable products and outrageous procedures: remoras that suck cheap Botox from the body, eyelash extensions made of spider silk, emotional support ducklings bred to imprint on their owners. Every product is ethically sourced and made with nothing but the highest quality ingredients. Our narrator's new job is a coveted one among New York's beauty-obsessed, and it affords her entry into a new world of privilege. She becomes transfixed by Helen - a model, and the niece of Holistik's charismatic owner - and the two strike up a close frie

Reviews
"A propulsive, captivating read, Natural Beauty pulled me into its world like a fever dream. A prescient look at the dirty underbelly of society's beauty standards, it also carries a moving reminder that true beauty is often found in the very things we've been taught to abandon." --Constance Wu, star of Crazy Rich Asians and author of Making a Scene "A surreal, dreamlike thriller where art and darkness are woven together in unexpected ways. The main character is tortured and brilliant, and possesses immense appeal and heartbreak. The cinematic storytelling shows what happens when businesses trade on the most extreme levels of human desires. Gripping!" -- Frances Cha, author of If I Had Your Face "A modern-day Picture of Dorian Gray shot through a Cronenbergian lens, Ling Ling Huang's Natural Beauty has big things to say about art, society, and the obsessive pursuit of youth. Huang's writing is as austere as a flawless arpeggio, but there is great warmth in Huang's portrayal of her characters." -- Nick Cutter, author of The Troop , The Deep , and Little Heaven, "A propulsive, captivating read, Natural Beauty pulled me into its world like a fever dream. A prescient look at the dirty underbelly of society's beauty standards, it also carries a moving reminder that true beauty is often found in the very things we've been taught to abandon." --Constance Wu, star of Crazy Rich Asians and author of Making a Scene "A surreal, dreamlike thriller where art and darkness are woven together in unexpected ways.

The cinematic storytelling shows what happens when businesses trade on the most extreme levels of human desires. Gripping!" -- Frances Cha, author of If I Had Your Face, "Insidious Western standards, fears about bodily autonomy, and queer desire intersect as Huang's precise and subtle portrayal of the beauty industry builds to an explosive climax. Alternatingly poignant and deeply unsettling, this is an outstanding first outing for an immensely talented author." -- Publishers Weekly , *starred review* "Haunting and immersive . . . The novel seamlessly blends sci-fi, literary fiction, suspense, and body horror while also exploring the oppression of the beauty industry and the Chinese immigrant experience in America. The writing is lyrical even when plot events are profoundly tragic, and the protagonist's journey will captivate readers throughout. Highly recommended." -- Booklist , * starred review * "This is a darkly absurd and hilarious skewering of the luxury beauty industry, as well as a heart-wrenching story of a woman left alone in the world. It's definitely not one to miss." -- Buzzfeed , "30 Books Coming Out This Spring That You'll Love" "A propulsive, captivating read, Natural Beauty pulled me into its world like a fever dream. A prescient look at the dirty underbelly of society's beauty standards, it also carries a moving reminder that true beauty is often found in the very things we've been taught to abandon." --Constance Wu, star of Crazy Rich Asians and author of Making a Scene "Precise, unflinching, and utterly unforgettable, Natural Beauty is both a razor-sharp critique of the beauty industry and a startlingly tender story of family and sacrifice. This book will swallow you whole." -- Grace D.

Ardent and unsettling." --Lisa Hsiao Chen, author of Activities of Daily Living "Eerie and entertaining, Natural Beauty intertwines a terrifying critique of the beauty industry with a poignant ode to the power of music and the devotion of immigrant families. Ling Ling Huang is a fearless storyteller, and this book is as luminous as it is thrilling." --Pik-Shuen Fung, author of Ghost Forest "Ling Ling Huang amplifies and expands the future of horror fiction with a book so riveting it is impossible to put down." --Rikki Ducornet, author of Phosphor in Dreamland, An April LibraryReads Pick One of Bustle 's "36 Best New Books Of Spring & Summer 2023" One of BookRiot' s "8 of the Best New Horror Books Coming Out April 2023" "This is a darkly absurd and hilarious skewering of the luxury beauty industry, as well as a heart-wrenching story of a woman left alone in the world.
