Jude suffers childhood abuse, the details of which Yanagihara slowly reveals via flashback. But I would never recommend it to anyone. Indeed, A Little Life may be the most beautiful, profoundly moving novel I've ever read. It's particularly dazzling when she visits the complicated mind and spirit of Jude, who becomes the axis on which the book's world turns. It was shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize (it lost to Marlon James's A Brief History of Seven Killings) and has been longlisted for the National Book Award for fiction. Yanagihara's prose is occasionally so stunning that it would stop me, pushing me back to the beginning of a paragraph for a second read. I'd give A Little Life all of the awards. I read 164 books in 2015 and tracked them all in a spreadsheet.
