《倖存之家》安派契特新作➤《惠斯勒》
安.派契特Ann Patchett最新小說! 這位屢獲殊榮的《紐約時報》第一名暢銷作家重返文壇,帶來一部動人且散發光芒的小說,提醒我們生命的甜美與無常,以及連結跨越時間的力量。 當達芙妮·富勒(Daphne Fuller)與丈夫喬納森(Jonathan)參訪大都會藝術博物館時,他們注意到一位白髮蒼蒼的老先生一直跟隨著他們。那個人原來是艾迪·崔普雷特(Eddie Triplett),達芙妮的前繼父,他在達芙妮九歲時曾與她的母親有過一年多的婚姻。現年五十三歲的達芙妮已有多年未見艾迪,自從那場改變兩人生命走向的關鍵事件後便斷了聯繫。再次見面,時間彷彿消逝;儘管他們的關係曾經短暫,卻對彼此產生了深遠影響,而現在重逢了,他們再也不打算分開。 《惠斯勒》(Whistler)是一個關於兩個成年人回顧他們所做的選擇,以及那些被代為決定的選擇的故事。這是一個關於勇氣、記憶、那些定義我們生活的微小卻重要的時刻,以及最終終將降臨在我們所有人身上的無盡流逝的故事。這部作品美在它的純粹,最終探討了愛如何持久,以及被另一個人理解的感覺——即便只是短暫的一段時間——如何能改變一切。 The acclaimed, prize-winning #1 New York Times bestselling writer returns with a moving, luminous novel that reminds us of the sweetness and impermanence of life and the power of connection to defy time. When Daphne Fuller and her husband Jonathan visit the Metropolitan Museum of Art, they notice an older, white-haired gentleman following them. The man turns out to be Eddie Triplett, her former stepfather, who had been married to her mother for a little more than year when Daphne was nine. Now fifty-three, Daphne hasn’t seen Eddie for many years, not since the fateful event that changed the direction of both their lives. Meeting again, time falls away; while their relationship was brief, it had a profound impact on them both, and now that they are reunited, they have no intention of ever being separated again. Whistler is a story about two adults looking back over the choices they made, and the choices that were made for them. It’s a story about bravery, memory, the often small yet consequential moments that define our lives, and the endless stream of loss that in time comes for us all. Beautiful in its simplicity, it is ultimately about how love endures, and how the feeling of being known by one other person, even for a short period of time, can change everything.

Her childhood best friend, Agnès, receives the news in America, far from the French countryside where the two girls were raised – the place that Fabienne helped Agnès escape ten years ago. Now, Agnès is free to tell her story. As children in a backwater town, they’d built a private world, invisible to everyone but themselves – until Fabienne hatched the plan that would change everything, launching Agnès on an epic trajectory through fame, fortune, and terrible loss. ‘Beguiling … A shimmering, unsettling tale of exploitation and manipulation’ Daily Mail ‘Haunting and strange … Li has made her style her own’ Tessa Hadley, Guardian ‘A dazzling, subtle, skilful knockout’ Charlotte Mendelson, author of The Exhibitionist
