Overview
A propulsive, gripping new novel about fate, art, exploitation, and intimacy from the award-winning author of Where Reasons End
Fabienne is dead. Her childhood best friend, Agns, receives the news in America, far from the French countryside where the two girls were raised - the place that Fabienne helped Agns escape ten years ago. Now, Agns is free to tell her story.
As children in a backwater town, they'd built a private world, invisible to everyone but themselves - until Fabienne hatched the plan that would change everything, launching Agns on an epic trajectory through fame, fortune, and terrible loss.
A magnificent, beguiling tale winding from the rural provinces to Paris, from an English boarding school, to the quiet Pennsylvania home where Agns can live without her past, The Book of Goose is a story of disturbing intimacy and obsession, of exploitation and strength of will, by the celebrated author Yiyun Li.
