THE BOOK OF GOOSE by YIYUN LI 

AD PR

The quickest and best way to describe this would be: the French version of My Brilliant Friend and Catch the Rabbit.

A French woman, now living in America, looks back on her life in a small French farming village with her wild and unruly best friend. One day the friend, Fabienne, decides to write a book (age 13) but her handwriting isn’t as good as our narrator’s, so she gets her to write it down. But they’re both only 13, so they enlist the help of the recently widowed postman to get the book published. Adventure, cruelty, boundary-pushing, love, decisions, growth and development ensue. 

I really loved this book. I can’t wait for others to read it and discuss. 

Thanks to @4thestatebooks and @mattclacher for another beautiful proof. I adore the cover of this, and the full cover on the book that’s coming out in September is even more beautiful.
