內容簡介

內容簡介 來自國際暢銷作家約翰．波恩（John Boyne）的一部深刻沈思之作，描繪一位父親在創傷與遺憾之中，試圖重新學會如何愛與被愛。當你身處3萬英呎的高空，世界彷彿靜止——過去與未來，就在心裡交鋒。艾倫．安柏（Aaron Umber）搭上飛機，帶著14歲的兒子橫越半個地球，準備見一位「並不知情的女人」。這趟旅程，既是面對，也是逃避。童年所受的創傷形塑了今日的他，卻也成了父子關係間愈來愈大的裂縫。他害怕失去，更害怕傳承他從未真正療癒的傷口。而這趟飛行，或許能讓他們更靠近——也可能徹底讓彼此崩解。在這部關於行為與後果、責任與原諒、自我與親情的深度小說中，約翰．波恩再次以敏銳筆觸探討人性，呈現一段痛苦卻希望依然存在的修復之路。各界讚譽 John Boyne：「當代文壇最偉大的工匠之一。」——柯倫．麥肯（Colum McCann）「世界上最偉大的說故事者之一。」——唐納．萊恩（Donal Ryan）「他是這一代最成熟穩健的小說家之一。」——《觀察家報》（Observer）From internationally bestselling author John Boyne, a contemplative story about one man trying to move forward from the trauma of his youth to become a better father to his son.Being in limbo, 30,000 feet in the air, offers time to reflect and take stock. For Aaron Umber, it’s an opportunity to connect with his 14-year-old son as they travel halfway across the world to meet a woman who isn’t expecting them.Unsettled by his past, and anxious for his future, Aaron is at a crossroads in life. The damage inflicted upon him during his youth has made him the man he is, but now threatens to widen the growing fissures between him and his only child. This trip could bind them closer together, or tear them further apart.In this penetrating examination of action and consequence, fault and attribution, acceptance and resolution, John Boyne gives us a redemptive story of a father and a son on a moving journey to mend their troubled lives.______Praise for John Boyne'One of the greatest craftsmen in contemporary literature' Colum McCann'Among the world's greatest storytellers' Donal Ryan'One of the most assured novelists of his generation' Observer
