“Two people who are constantly seeking experience rarely settle for each other. Two people enduring experience rarely meet in life.

That’s why Fabienne and I were meant for each other.

We were the perfect pair, one seeking all that the other could experience.”

Morning and evening make a day. Days and nights make a week, a month, a life. Drop me into any moment, point me in any direction, and I could retrace my life. Details beget details. With all those details one might hope to find the full picture. A full picture of what, though? The more we remember, the less we understand.

But I had loved her all my life. I had loved her before we knew what the world was, what love was, and who we ourselves were. But all these things I could not say.

ARC Review: The Book of Goose by Yiyun Li

Rating: 3.5 ★ of 5

Release date: September 20, 2022  

I don’t know how to describe this book. Sometimes it reads like a fairytale, or a fable, but for me it was mostly philosophical; so many existential questions thrown in, that I imagine if those questions were directed at me, I’d just tell you to leave me alone. This book unsettled me, and not in a way I disliked. The characters that surround the protagonist, Agnes, all had motivations that she failed to see or just failed to act against. I didn’t understand most of them to the fullest, but hardest for me to fathom was Fabienne. Agnes and Fabienne’s friendship was the heart of the story. I’d call it obsessive, even controlling. When Agnes was brought to an English boarding school, she took measures to get back to rural France and to Fabienne. The scene of her coming home and meeting Fabienne after months - their conversation - was the most impactful for me. I was glued to the page and reeling with the consequences of these characters’ actions to each other. I guess to experience this book is to know. I can’t put anything to justice. In terms of prose and characterization, this was excellent. I feel this is also the type of book that would bring new discoveries on rereads. Thanks to Edelweiss and the publisher for the arc!

Sometimes you hear people say so-and-so has lived well, and so-and-so has had a dull life. They are missing a key point when they say that. Any experience is experience, any life a life. A day in a cloister can be as dramatic and fatal as a day on a battlefield.

Some horrifying revelations have caused me to make this poll. Get chatty in the tags, as always! Especially curious if you read generally; if you read a lot and don't use your library I'd love to know why and what you use instead.

#txt #booklr #bookblr #writeblr #I just assumed everybody used the library extensively but I suppose it's me and Max goose-books. #Even my fellow bookshop employees don't really? Is it just because we get books for free..? #Well at any rate you can't say too much to me about this; I'm very curious. #And if you don't read more power to you it's not for everyone. #important writing updates
