A magnificent, beguiling tale winding from the postwar rural provinces to Paris, from an English boarding school to the quiet Pennsylvania home where a woman 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. Fabienne is dead. Her childhood best friend, Agn?s, receives the news in America, far from the French countryside where the two girls were raised--the place that Fabienne helped Agn?s escape ten years ago. Now Agn?s is free to tell her story. As children in a war-ravaged backwater town, they'd built a private world, invisible to everyone but themselves--until Fabienne hatched the plan that would change everything, launching Agn?s on an epic trajectory through fame, fortune, and terrible loss.
