Yanagihara has exploded onto the literary scene with this astonishing and beautifully written novel. This epic story is an intense character study of four friends growing up in New York, but with a particular focus on Jude St Francis, our enigmatic and deeply troubled protagonist. As his friends discover Jude’s painful past and he struggles to come to terms with the truth of his upbringing, this novel will break your heart, mend it, then break it all over again. It is brutal, honest and unflinching in its examination of dark issues, but incredibly rewarding.
