The Story
The narrative centres on Jude St. Francis, a brilliant litigator with a mysterious past that unfolds gradually throughout the book. As the story progresses, Yanagihara delves into Jude's harrowing experiences, revealing the deep scars of his childhood and the impact of abuse on his relationships. The emotional weight of the novel is balanced by moments of tenderness and the unwavering support of his friends, creating a rich tapestry of love and suffering.
