The Book of Goose

Fabienne has died. This news is learned by her best childhood friend Agnès in America, far from the French village where the girls grew up. They haven't seen each other for over ten years, but only now does Agnès feel... free. And she decides to tell her story.
Her unusual biography is known to many: a thirteen-year-old village girl wrote a book that attracted the attention of publishers and critics. Agnès Moro became famous. A prestigious English girls' school offered to provide her education for free. But the success story ended before it even began. A few months later, the girl was expelled from the boarding school. Her second book went almost unnoticed, and she never wrote a third.
However, these ups and downs hardly concerned Agnès herself. After all, they were just part of the elaborate game that Fabienne had invented.
