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.
