The critically acclaimed author of Where Reasons End returns with a riveting, devastating new book about female friendship, art, and memory.
The deceased is Fabienne. Far from the French countryside where the two girls grew up—a region that Fabienne assisted Agnès in fleeing 10 years prior—her childhood best friend Agnès learns of the news in America. Agnès is able to share her tale now.
They had created a little world as kids in a small, war-torn village, hidden from everyone except themselves. That is, until Fabienne came up with the scheme that would alter everything and send Agnès on an incredible journey filled with wealth, celebrity, and heartbreaking loss.
Celebrated author Yiyun Li's haunting story of friendship, art, exploitation, and memory, The Book of Goose, winds its way from the postwar rural provinces to Paris, from an English boarding school to the quiet Pennsylvania home where Agnès can live without her past. It's a magnificent and beguiling tale.
