The Book Of Goose: An enthralling and deeply moving new novel explores the bonds of female companionship, artistic expression, and the fragility of memories. The accomplished writer behind Where Reasons End brings us this poignant narrative.
Fabienne has passed away. News of her passing reaches Agnès, her closest friend since childhood, who now resides in America, far away from the serene landscapes of rural France where their shared upbringing took place. Those landscapes were also the ones from which Fabienne helped Agnès escape a decade ago. With Fabienne gone, Agnès finally has the freedom to unveil her own story.
During their early years in a war-stricken, remote town, they constructed a world that only they could see—a world hidden from others’ eyes. However, everything changed when Fabienne conceived a life-altering plan, propelling Agnès on an extraordinary journey marked by fame, fortune, and profound sorrow.
This captivating and spellbinding narrative takes us on a mesmerizing journey from the aftermath of war in rural provinces to the vibrant streets of Paris, from an English boarding school to the tranquil haven in Pennsylvania where Agnès can attempt to live untethered from her past. Yiyun, the acclaimed author, weaves an evocative tale that delves into the intricacies of friendship, the power of art, the complexities of exploitation, and the ethereal nature of memory in her work, The Book of Goose.
