YIYUN LI - GEBRAUCHT MUST I GO YIYUN LI - PREIS...

Richly expansive and deeply moving  an intimate novel of secret lives and painful histories
from one of the finest storytellers we have    'This brilliant novel examines lives lived 
losses accumulated  and the slipperiness of perception. Yiyun Li writes deeply  drolly  and
with elegance about history  even as it's happening. She is one of my favorite writers  and
Must I Go is an extraordinary book.' Meg Wolitzer    Lilia Liska is 81. She has shrewdly
outlived three husbands  raised five children and seen the arrival of seventeen grandchildren.
Now she has turned her keen attention to a strange little book published by a vanity press: the
diary of a long-forgotten man named Roland Bouley  with whom she once had a fleeting affair. 
Increasingly obsessed by this fragment of intimate history  Lilia begins to annotate the diary
with her own rather different version of events. Gradually she undercuts Roland's charming but
arrogant voice with an incisive and deeply moving commentary. She reveals to us the surprising
long-held secrets of her past. And she returns inexorably to her daughter  Lucy  who took her
own life at the age of 27.   Must I Go is an unconventional epistolary novel  a gleefully
one-way correspondence between the very-much-alive Lilia and the long-departed Roland. Though
mortality is ever-present  this is ultimately a novel about life  in all its messy glory. Life
lived  for the extraordinary Lilia  absolutely on its own terms. With exquisite subtlety and
insight  Yiyun Li navigates the twin poles of grief and resilience  loss and rebirth  that
compass a human heart.
