: You may not know Jude St. Francis yet, but that name will be unforgettable after reading Hanya Yanagihara's book A Little Life.
A Little Life is Yanagihara's followup to her hit debut novel The People In The Trees. It follows four friends, Jude, JB, Malcolm and Willem, as they grow up together in New York City over three decades. But despite their history together, the four soon discover that Jude has a dark, secret past that could change their lives forever.
The author told Mashable that the book reflects how she and her friends live their lives. She said the Little Life tests the traditional boundaries of friendship, and covers a different version of adulthood.
