A Town Called Solace

內容簡介

內容簡介 【2021布克獎初選入圍】《紐約時報》暢銷書作家瑪麗·勞森 (Mary Lawson)睽違十年重新挖掘「人類內心的荒野」 「小說巧妙地將三個人的人生階段結合在一起，每個人都因掙扎而有所失落。《一個叫安慰的小鎮》（暫譯）以優美的節奏及同理心，以及對小鎮生活的諷刺吸引著我們。」—（2021 布克獎評審委員）背景是1972 年加拿大的安大略省北部，住在小鎮裡的三個居民因命運和過去的錯誤，交織他們複雜的關係。時而扣人心弦，時而陰暗滑稽，承接著我們的悲傷、悔恨和愛的層次，同時也暗示了新生活的可能。從三個截然不同的觀點，敘述了三個故事：叛逆而負氣離家的十六歲少女，中年離婚又失業的男子，疑似涉嫌一樁犯罪案件。以及一名老太太，為何在她年老的盡頭仍對曾犯下的罪行念茲在茲，在臨終前，她又能做出什麼補償。絲絲入扣的敘述，交錯在令人難忘的角色之間。《一個叫安慰的小鎮》（A Town Called Solace ）是瑪麗·勞森筆下一部精湛、懸疑、黑暗卻十分人性化的小說。"
