A novel set in the French countryside (Saint Remy) in the 1950s, with the exception of a brief section in Paris and London.
The story is about the friendship, life, conflicts, growing up together and dreams of two 13-14 year old girls named Agnes and Fabienne. While Agnes is a docile child, Fabienne, on the contrary, is a misfit child. These two friends, who spend a lot of time together, decide to write a book under the leadership of Fabienne. The publication of the book changes both of their lives in ways they did not expect.
The author's language is simple and understandable, and the book is very gripping and intriguing. We enter a fairy-tale dream world and eventually come to our senses when the realities of life hit us like a slap in the face.
Yiyun Li won the PEN/Faulkner award with this book in 2023. A novel that examines existence, makes you think and is engraved in your mind.
“If one half orange and another half orange come together, they do not make a whole orange. This is where my story begins. An orange who did not consider himself worthy of a knife, and an orange who never dreamed of turning himself into a knife. To cut and to be cut; At that time, neither of them interested me."
Happy Reading!
