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, Agnès, receives the news in America, far from the French countryside where the two girls were raised--the place that Fabienne helped Agnès escape ten years ago. Now Agnès 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 Agnès on an epic trajectory through fame, fortune, and terrible loss.

Das Buch lässt sich schnell lesen und hat mich mit jeder Seite mehr gepackt. Im Mittelpunkt steht die Freundschaft zwischen den beiden Protagonistinnen mit ihrer besonderen Dynamik – fesselnd und realistisch dargestellt. Es zeigt, wie schnell man in einer Beziehung abhängig werden kann und wie stark eine enge Bindung das eigene Leben beeinflussen kann. Auch den Aspekt des Machtgefälles zwischen Erwachsenen und Kindern fand ich spannend. Insgesamt lebt das Buch für mich weniger von der Handlung, sondern vielmehr von der psychologischen Tiefe, den zwischenmenschlichen Beziehungen und den metaphorischen Ebenen.
2.5 stars my brilliant friend but just … not as good this book started of promisingly!! it had some absolutely beautiful and harrowing quotes in it, but considering the whole plot is about the complicated, intertwined, obsessive friendship between two girls, it just doesn’t really deliver. it’s not as weird as i was hoping, it’s not as profound as i was expecting, and it all just gets lost in the sand once agnès goes to england
