內容簡介

內容簡介 2025年布克獎長名單入圍作品這是一個扣人心弦的故事，講述兩個年輕人命運在不同大陸和時光中交錯又分離——一部關於愛情與家庭、印度與美國、傳統與現代的史詩巨作，由《失落的傳承》布克獎得主所著。當索尼婭（Sonia）和桑尼（Sunny）在一列夜行火車上初次相遇，他們立刻被彼此吸引，但同時也尷尬地回想起他們的祖父母曾試圖為他們牽線搭橋，這種笨拙的干涉反而將索尼婭和桑尼推得更遠。索尼婭是一位有抱負的小說家，剛從雪覆蓋的佛蒙特山區完成學業，回到了印度的家中。她害怕自己被一位曾給予她親密與靈感的藝術家施加了黑暗詛咒所困擾。桑尼則是一名掙扎中的記者，定居於紐約市，試圖逃離嚴厲的母親及家族間的暴力衝突。面對未知的未來，索尼婭和桑尼一起展開尋找幸福的旅程，並共同面對現代世界的種種疏離。《索尼婭與桑尼的孤寂》是一部宏大的敘事，描繪兩位年輕人如何在國家、階級、種族、歷史以及代際間錯綜複雜的羈絆中摸索前行。這既是一段愛情故事，一部家族史詩，也是一部思想豐富的小說，是我們這位偉大小說家迄今為止最雄心勃勃、最成熟的作品。「我想打包一個小行李箱，永遠待在這本書裡。」——安．帕切特（Ann Patchett） 「深刻、閃耀、幽默且文筆精緻，《索尼婭與桑尼的孤寂》教會我們如何全然讚嘆這個世界的奇蹟。」——蘿倫．葛洛夫（Lauren Groff）Longlisted for the Booker Prize 2025A spellbinding story of two young people whose fates intersect and diverge across continents and years—an epic of love and family, India and America, tradition and modernity, by the Booker Prize-winning author of The Inheritance of LossWhen Sonia and Sunny first glimpse each other on an overnight train, they are immediately captivated, yet also embarrassed by the fact that their grandparents had once tried to matchmake them, a clumsy meddling that only served to drive Sonia and Sunny apart.Sonia, an aspiring novelist who recently completed her studies in the snowy mountains of Vermont, has returned to her family in India, fearing she is haunted by a dark spell cast by an artist to whom she had once turned for intimacy and inspiration.
