1958 年,西澳內陸荒野:幾個世代以來,MacBride 家族一直住在偏遠的牧羊農場 Meredith Downs。那是一百萬英畝乾旱的土地,如同一片陸地的海洋,天氣是反覆無常的神,而時間仍在無拘無束地遊走。
某個平凡的一天,在一條孤寂的道路上,在無盡的藍天下,家族長 Phil MacBride 為了閃避袋鼠突然轉向。短短幾秒之間,整個 MacBride 家族的生活支離破碎。而命運並未讓傷口自行癒合,再度降臨,以一連串後果讓其中一人喪失生命,另一人則為了一名無辜的孩子而犧牲自己。最年幼的 Matt MacBride 因此被推入一段沒有地圖、沒有指引的道德與情感旅程,被迫在愛與責任、犧牲與幸福之間做出抉擇。
《A Far-flung Life》探究一群孤立靈魂的生命,以及他們為了生存所守護的祕密。這是一個關於家庭與歸屬、關於慈悲與希望的故事,描寫人們努力做到最好、並各自因私密的理由試圖躲避人生風暴的情景。
這位《The Light Between Oceans》國際暢銷作的作者帶來一部令人屏息的史詩級小說──關於悲劇、家庭,以及愛的持久力量。

Outback Western Australia, 1958: for generations, the MacBrides have lived on a remote sheep station, Meredith Downs. A million arid acres, it’s an ocean of land, where the weather is a capricious god, and time still roams untamed.
One ordinary day, on a lonely road, under the unending blue sky, patriarch Phil MacBride swerves to avoid a kangaroo. In seconds the lives of the entire MacBride family are shattered. Then, instead of leaving wounds to heal, Fate comes for them yet again, in a twist of consequences that will cause one of them to lose their life, and another to sacrifice theirs for the sake of an innocent child. Matt, the youngest MacBride, is plunged into a moral and emotional journey for which there is no map, no guide, as he is forced to choose between love and duty, sacrifice and happiness.
A Far-flung Life explores the lives of a handful of isolated souls and the secrets they shield in order to survive. A tale of family and belonging, of compassion and hope, it’s about people trying to do their best, and each, for private reasons, seeking shelter from the storm of life.
From the author of the acclaimed international bestseller The Light Between Oceans comes a breathtaking and epic novel – about tragedy, family, and the enduring power of love.
