內容簡介

內容簡介 美越混血的 Winne 回到西貢，尋找自己的根，而戰爭、殖民壓迫的血汗歷史也跟著出土...悶熱的夜總會、破落的動物園、殖民地豪宅、鬧鬼的森林，小說巧妙揉合越南歷史和民間傳說⋯1986年，越南富家少女逃離暴怒的父親身邊，消失在荒廢的橡膠園中。2011年，從美國移居西貢教授英語的美越混血女子溫妮在家中失去蹤影。相隔二十五年，二人的命運卻因過去的世代、祖先、鬼魂、附身、受詛咒的土地而交纏，二人都無所畏懼、決意復仇。"'Gorgeous, completely original, and quite disturbing, usually all three at the same time. Beware! This book might swallow you up.' Karen Joy Fowler, bestselling author of We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves Two young Vietnamese women go missing decades apart. Both are fearless, both are lost. And both will have their revenge. 1986: The teenage daughter of a wealthy Vietnamese family gets lost in an abandoned rubber plantation while fleeing her angry father, and is forever changed by the experience. 2011: Twenty-five years later, a young, unhappy Vietnamese-American named Winnie disappears from her new home in Saigon without a trace. The fates of both women are inescapably linked, bound together by past generations, by ghosts and ancestors, by the history of possessed bodies and possessed lands. Barrelling through the sweaty nightclubs of Saigon to ramshackle zoos, colonial mansions and haunted forests, Violet Kupersmith's heart-pounding fever dream of a novel deftly combines Vietnamese history and folklore to create an immersive, playful, utterly unforgettable debut.
