內容簡介

貝兒小時候有記憶以來,她的母親諾耶樂便執著於保養肌膚,諾耶樂是個美麗的女人,且在南加州擁有自己的高級服飾店,但與貝兒的關係卻相當疏遠。

貝兒內心怨懟,卻又仍然渴望母愛關懷,甚至開始模仿母親保養肌膚的習慣,即便諾耶樂說擁有一半來自父親埃及血統的貝兒,不必像她那樣擔心肌膚問題,但彷彿一種執念,貝兒不知不覺地追隨著母親的腳步,成年後也學習母親的儀容、化妝與打扮...直到一次意外,諾耶樂從住家附近的懸崖上摔落身亡。

貝兒現在38歲,她趕回南加州處理母親的身後事,卻發現原來服飾店的生意早已債台高築,忙著籌錢之餘,也為母親突然的死亡感到疑惑,在母親的葬禮上,一名素未謀面、全身紅衣的女子現身,她向貝兒哀悼諾耶樂,並遞上一張名片,那是她母親生前最愛去的一家Spa中心─La Maison de Méduse,梅杜莎之家。

貝兒帶著疑惑和好奇心前往,Spa中心的主人正舉辦盛大的派對,舞池熱鬧人聲鼎沸,衣香鬢影,閃亮的水晶球燈映照著來賓一張張酣樂沉醉的臉龐,主人看見貝兒便認出她是諾耶樂的女兒,並高興的告訴她,有一項他們新研發的Spa療程,可以讓追求美麗的女性「完完全全改頭換面,宛若新生」,貝兒則是完美的體驗人選...


A Most Anticipated Book of 2023 by Time, Vogue, The Guardian, Goodreads, Bustle, The Millions, LitHub, Tor, Good Housekeeping, PureWow, Our Culture Mag, and more!

For as long as she can remember, Belle has been insidiously obsessed with her skin and skincare videos. When her estranged mother Noelle mysteriously dies, Belle finds herself back in Southern California, dealing with her mother’s considerable debts and grappling with lingering questions about her death. The stakes escalate when a strange woman in red appears at the funeral, offering a tantalizing clue about her mother’s demise, followed by a cryptic video about a transformative spa experience. With the help of a pair of red shoes, Belle is lured into the barbed embrace of La Maison de Méduse, the same lavish, culty spa to which her mother was devoted. There, Belle discovers the frightening secret behind her (and her mother’s) obsession with the mirror—and the great shimmering depths (and demons) that lurk on the other side of the glass.

Snow White meets Eyes Wide Shut in this surreal descent into the dark side of beauty, envy, grief, and the complicated love between mothers and daughters. With black humor and seductive horror, Rouge explores the cult-like nature of the beauty industry—as well as the danger of internalizing its pitiless gaze. Brimming with California sunshine and blood-red rose petals, Rouge holds up a warped mirror to our relationship with mortality, our collective fixation with the surface, and the wondrous, deep longing that might lie beneath.

各界推薦

“Rouge plays with horror and humor in a surreal, gothic tale about a mother-daughter relationship that is also a biting satire on the beauty industry.” -- The Guardian, Fall’s Most Anticipated Reads

“Mona Awad’s seductive fourth novel looks at the complicated relationships between mothers, daughters, and their mirrors…[a] surreal gothic tale.” -- Time, “36 Most Anticipated Books of Fall 2023”

“An edgy fable on the perils of our modern fascination with beauty.” -- Vogue

“A surrealist take on the myth of Demeter and Persephone…Rouge points to many discomforting truths about being a woman in the 21st century, which can sometimes feel an awful lot like gothic horror. Awad doesn’t let us off the hook in our willingness to consume and be consumed, in our inability to see beyond our glass coffins.” -- Megan O’Grady, The New York Times Book Review

“[A] hypnotic tour de force…Awad approaches the increasingly well-trod ground of sinister wellness gurus with aplomb, creating an atmosphere of creeping discomfort and surreality right from the start. This is the stuff of fairy tales—red shoes, ballrooms, mirrors, and thorns but also sincerity, poignancy, and terror.” -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
