Into the Wreck

內容簡介

內容簡介 你該如何哀悼一個你從未真正了解過的人？安娜（Anna）、珍瑪（Gemma）和馬修（Matthew）三姊弟必須盡快找到答案。週一就是他們那位溫柔卻疏離的父親的葬禮。久違地，他們與傲慢的母親伊馮娜（Yvonne）齊聚一堂，等待著獲獎詩人阿姨艾美（Amy）的到來。然而，隨著葬禮逼近，日常的煩憂並未因此消減：剛開始對性產生執迷的珍瑪，能否在母親的期待之外，釐清自己的人生目標？安娜能否在倫敦那段「友達以上、戀人未滿」且非排他性的關係中，維持慾望與冷淡之間的微妙平衡？艾美的過去是否會引爆當下的親情關係？最重要的是，伊馮娜能否成功辦好葬禮後的家庭大餐——這在她眼中，似乎是解決某個「無解難題」的唯一良方？全書從五個不同的視角切換，以蘇珊娜·迪基標誌性的同理心與機智，細膩剖析了一個家庭之間錯綜複雜的羈絆。How do you mourn someone you never really knew?Three siblings - Anna, Gemma and Matthew - will have to work that out quickly. Monday is the day of their gentle, but distant, father's funeral, and for the first time in a long while they are under one roof with their mother, imperious Yvonne, awaiting the arrival of their aunt Amy, an award-winning poet.Yet, as the funeral looms, their everyday concerns refuse to diminish: will newly sex-obsessed Gemma work out what she wants from life, beyond her mother's expectations? Can Anna maintain the fine balance between desire and nonchalance with the sort-of, not-quite-exclusive boyfriend, back in London? Will Amy's past explode the relationships of the present? And, crucially, will Yvonne pull off her grand, post-funeral family dinner, the solution to what she fears may be an unsolvable problem?Told from five different perspectives, into the wreck worries at the knotty complexities of one family's bonds, written with Susannah Dickey's trademark empathy and wit.
