歐洲正值酷暑。
Goose 與他的三個妹妹聚集在義大利皮埃蒙特奧爾塔湖畔的家中。他們的父親是一位著名藝術家，最近與一位年輕許多的女子再婚，並搬到義大利完成他的最後一件傑作。然而，父親現在已經去世，而那幅畫卻杳無蹤跡。
儘管兄妹四人一直親密無間，但在那個夏天的尋找過程中，他們逐漸發現一些關於自己、父親及新繼母的秘密，這些真相讓他們漸行漸遠。在真正理解父親遺產的意義之前，他們的關係必須先經歷一場分崩離析。
這是一部極具吸引力的小說，核心探討兄妹之間的關係以及家庭中那些細微的裂縫——當這些裂縫擴大並破裂時會發生什麼，又需要付出什麼代價才能將它們修補。

'Lyrical, shrewd and, ultimately, as indecently satisfying as a four course Italian lunch, The Homemade God tells of four siblings surviving an artist father whose death obliges each to shatter and rebuild their life. My life is a little emptier now it's over.' - Patrick Gale, author of A Place Called Winter
Sparkling and addictive … Rachel Joyce is so incredibly good and wise on families and siblings. I couldn’t love it more.' - Harriet Evans, author of The Garden of Lost and Found
‘This terrific novel absolutely refuses to be cosy and provides all sorts of misdirections and a sense of foreboding throughout. A triumph of insight and empathy!’ - Clare Chambers, author of Small Pleasures
'Rachel Joyce is a masterful storyteller.' - Sarah Winman, Sunday Times bestselling author of Still Life
'Joyce is a fearless explorer of emotional landscape.' – Sunday Times
'If only there were more novelists like Rachel Joyce' – Telegraph
There is a heatwave across Europe.
Goose and his three sisters gather at the family's house by Lake Orta in Piedmont, Italy. Their father, a famous artist, has recently remarried a much younger woman and decamped to Italy to finish his masterpiece. Now he is dead and there is no sign of a painting.
Alhough the siblings have always been close, as they search for answers over that summer, the things they learn - about themselves, their father and their new stepmother - will drive them apart before they can come to any kind of understanding of what their father's legacy truly is.
Extraordinarily compelling, at heart this is a novel about sibling relationships and those hairline cracks that can appear within a family: what what happens when they splinter, and what it would take to mend them.
各界推薦

《The Homemade God》是一部引人入勝、發人深省且層次豐富的小說，洋溢著一種黑暗的幽默感。而在所有最好的救贖故事中，穿透悲傷瓦礫的，是希望、接納與愛的微光。這本書真的非常精彩。
——Sarah Winman，《Still Life》作者，發表日期：2024-12-03
富有詩意、睿智，最終帶來如同一頓四道菜義大利午餐般的滿足。《The Homemade God》講述四個兄妹如何面對一位他們無法承認其毫無天賦的藝術家父親，在父親去世後，他們各自的人生被迫崩解並重新建立。故事結束後，我的內心感到有些空虛。
——Patrick Gale，《A Place Called Winter》作者，發表日期：2024-11-27
《The Homemade God》生動地刻畫了家庭、藝術以及我們從父母那裡繼承的創造力與情感。Joyce 對兄妹關係的複雜性具有極高的情感敏銳度，在這部編織豐富的家庭戲劇中展現了她一貫的同理心與洞察力。這是一部出色的故事作品。
——Hannah Beckerman，《The Forgetting》作者，發表日期：2024-11-08
Rachel Joyce 的最新小說絕對精彩絕倫。引人入勝、充滿氛圍與心理深度的故事，直擊父母之愛與失落的核心。而且非常幽默，我完全無法放下這本書。
——Emily Howes，《The Painter’s Daughters》作者，發表日期：2024-12-03
這是一部強大且複雜的小說，巧妙地將悲傷、創造力與兄妹關係中奇特又帶著愛的暴力編織在一起。Joyce 在小說中多次轉換敘事節奏，讓我幾乎屏息不敢放鬆，因為她無所畏懼地呈現出悲傷如何改變我們，特別是如何改變家庭的形態。這本書大膽地提出並回答了有關藝術表達本質的問題。我從未讀過一本如此無畏地呈現兄妹關係真相的小說。我喜愛這本書。
——Clover Stroud，《The Giant on the Skyline》作者
《The Homemade God》中人物形象鮮明生動，深深吸引讀者，義大利的場景描寫充滿氛圍感，而這也是作者所寫過最引人入勝的情節。此外，這部小說深刻地探討了藝術的本質與目的，可能是我讀過最智慧且洞見豐富的兄妹競爭研究。簡而言之，這是一部傑作！
——Matt Cain，《The Secret Life of Albert Entwistle》作者，發表日期：2025-01-06
Rachel Joyce 是一位珍貴的作家。她的小說既溫柔又機智，細膩觀察又氣勢磅礴。在《The Homemade God》中，她為我們帶來了迷人的義大利場景，以及一樁可疑的死亡與一幅失蹤的畫作。但這遠不止於一部聰明、華麗的度假閱讀小說。Joyce 以幽默與同情描繪出一個家庭複雜的肖像，展現了家庭所有的包袱、怪癖、魅力與心碎。本書關於人類渴望表達自我藝術天賦、被愛與被接納的普遍追求，是一部美麗動人的小說。
——Eowyn Ivey，《The Snow Child》與《Black Woods Blue Sky》作者，發表日期：2025-01-06
Review
Sparkling and addictive … Rachel Joyce is so incredibly good and wise on families and siblings, pacing out a story’s secrets so that you have to read one more page. [It’s My Cousin Rachel meets The Enchanted April.] I couldn’t love it more. -- Harriet Evans, author of The Stargazers and The Garden of Lost and Found Published On: 2024-11-25
The Homemade God is an enthralling, thought-provoking, layered novel, seamed with a delicious dark humour. And, as in all the best redemptive stories, through the rubble of grief glimmers hope, acceptance and love. Truly wonderful. -- Sarah Winman, author of Still Life Published On: 2024-12-03
Lyrical, shrewd and, ultimately, as indecently satisfying as a four course Italian lunch, The Homemade God tells of four siblings surviving an artist father none can admit is a talentless monster and how the fallout of his death obliges each to shatter and rebuild their life. My life is a little emptier now it's over. -- Patrick Gale, author of A Place Called Winter Published On: 2024-11-27
The Homemade God is a beautiful portrayal of family, art and the things we inherit from our parents, both creative and emotional. Joyce writes with great emotional acuity about the complexity of sibling relationships in a richly woven family drama, with all Joyce's trademark compassion and insight. It's a wonderful piece of storytelling. -- Hannah Beckerman, author of The Forgetting Published On: 2024-11-08
Rachel Joyce’s latest novel is an absolute humdinger. Gripping, atmospheric, psychologically rich storytelling that gets to the absolute heart of parental love and loss. It’s also very funny. I haven’t been able to put it down. -- Emily Howes, author of The Painter’s Daughters Published On: 2024-12-03
A powerful and complex novel, subtly weaving together themes around grief, creativity and the strange loving violence of sibling relationships. Joyce sets the scene, then shifts gears several times throughout the novel, so that I was left almost breathless at her fearless depiction of the way grief changes us, and specifically changes the shape of a family. It also asks and answers bold questions about the source and nature of artistic expression. I have never read a novel with such a fearless depiction of the true nature of sibling relationships. I loved it. -- Clover Stroud, author of The Giant on the Skyline
The Homemade God has brilliantly drawn characters that yank you in, an incredibly atmospheric setting, and the most gripping plot the author has ever written. It’s also a thought-provoking exploration of the nature and purpose of art and probably the wisest and most insightful study of sibling rivalry I’ve ever read. In short, it’s a masterpiece! -- Matt Cain, author of The Secret Life of Albert Entwistle Published On: 2025-01-06
Rachel Joyce is a treasure. Her novels are at once gentle and sharp-witted, closely observed and grand. In The Homemade God, she gives us a gorgeous Italian setting and the intrigue of a suspicious death and a missing painting. But this is so much more than a smart, sparkling vacation read. With humor and compassion, Joyce paints a complex portrait of a family with all of its baggage, eccentricities, charm, and heartbreak. It’s about the universal longing to express our artistic selves, to be loved and accepted. A beautiful novel. -- Eowyn Ivey, author of The Snow Child and Black Woods Blue Sky Published On: 2025-01-06
