The Book of Goose by Yiyun Li
Winner of the 2023 PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction
Long-listed for the 2023 Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Fiction
A New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice
A Slate Top Ten Book of the Year
A TIME Best Fiction Book of 2022
Named a Best Book of the Year by The New Yorker, NPR, Los Angeles Times, The Guardian, Los Angeles Review of Books, Financial Times, San Francisco Chronicle, LitHub, Buzzfeed, and more.
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, AgnA¨s, receives the news in America, far from the French countryside where the two girls were raised-the place that Fabienne helped AgnA¨s escape ten years ago. Now AgnA¨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 AgnA¨s on an epic trajectory through fame, fortune, and terrible loss.
