Wreck

內容簡介

內容簡介 《Sandwich》的暢銷作者再度回歸，帶來一部充滿笑聲、真情與人生荒謬溫度的新作——一部關於婚姻、家庭，以及生活偏離軌道後會發生什麼的小說。如果你曾在科德角與 Rocky 一家共度假期，那麼兩年後在他們家中迎來重逢，你會更愛他們。（如果你是第一次認識這群人——準備好一起大笑、落淚，並感同身受吧。）Rocky——依舊焦慮、懷舊又風趣——和丈夫 Nick 住在麻州西部。他們的女兒 Willa 大學畢業後搬回家，兒子 Jamie 則前往紐約開始新工作，而 Rocky 喪偶的父親 Mort 也搬來同住。一切都再正常不過、甚至荒謬地普通……直到 Rocky 執著於一場與他們僅有微弱關聯的當地事故，以及一項她極度希望不會降臨在家人身上的醫療狀況。以她一貫的機智與洞察力，Catherine Newman 探索了家庭中那些隱形的規則、不確定性帶來的沉重，還有一個殘酷卻普遍的事實：人們——即使你深深愛著——也未必總是你希望他們成為的樣子。“Wreck is a delight. What an absolute joy to be reunited with Rocky and her family, the characters we all fell in love with in Sandwich. Newman's prose is laugh-out-loud funny. It's also profound. I underlined so many passages in this treasure of a novel. It brought about that conundrum that the best books always do: I couldn't stop reading, even though I didn't want it to end.”—J. Courtney Sullivan, New York Times bestselling author of The Cliffs“Wreck is the kind of book that pulls up a chair, pours the wine, and dives deep—equal parts hilarious, sharp, and achingly sincere. It’s like spending hours with the friend who sees your mess and loves you more for it. I didn’t just read it—I felt known by it. A luminous, laugh-out-loud triumph by Newman.”—Alison Espach, New York Times bestselling author of The Wedding PeopleThe acclaimed bestselling author of Sandwich is back with a wonderful novel, full of laughter and heart, about marriage, family, and what happens when life doesn’t go as planned.If you loved Rocky and her family on vacation on Cape Cod, wait until you join them at home two years later. (And if this is your first meeting with this crew, get ready to laugh and cry—and relate.) Rocky, still anxious, nostalgic, and funny, is living in Western Massachusetts with her husband Nick and their daughter Willa, who's back home after college. Their son, Jamie, has taken a new job in New York, and Mort, Rocky’s widowed father, has moved in.It all couldn’t be more ridiculously normal . . . until Rocky finds herself obsessed with a local accident that only tangentially affects them—and with a medical condition that, she hopes, won’t affect them at all.With her signature wit and wisdom, Catherine Newman explores the hidden rules of family, the heavy weight of uncertainty, and the gnarly fact that people—no matter how much you love them—are not always exactly who you want them to be.
