內容簡介
有些悲傷不會消失,但我們會慢慢學會與它一起生活。🌿
這是一則關於失去、堅韌、家庭與愛的動人繪本。
Rebecca 和家人住在一座島嶼上,家裡總是明亮又熱鬧。每天有忙不完的工作,也有說不完的故事與笑聲。然而,一個寒冷的冬日,她的丈夫乘船出海後,卻再也沒有回來。
悲傷跟著 Rebecca 回到家裡,出現在空蕩蕩的椅子、安靜的片刻,以及生活中的每一個角落。
但日子仍然得繼續。房子還需要修繕,柴火還要劈好,孩子也需要照顧。Rebecca 一邊承受失去的痛,一邊努力把生活重新撐起來。
一年又一年,孩子們長大、成家,甚至有了自己的孩子。
原本安靜的家,再次充滿光亮、笑聲與家人的聲音。
Rebecca 也慢慢老去。
直到多年後的一天,「悲傷」再次來到她身邊。
但這一次,Rebecca 不再害怕。
因為經過漫長歲月,她已經知道,悲傷雖然曾經如此沉重,卻也成為她生命故事的一部分。她與悲傷並肩坐著,在夕陽下看著壁爐的火焰慢慢燃盡,平靜地迎接生命的暮色。
🌱 在失去之後,依然可以好好生活
這不只是一個關於失去的故事,更是一個關於活下來、繼續愛、繼續生活的故事。
Rebecca 沒有忘記曾經的傷痛,但她也沒有讓悲傷定義自己的人生。她工作、養育孩子、看著家庭一代又一代延續,在漫長歲月裡重新找到生活的重量與溫度。
故事以細膩而克制的方式,描繪出悲傷與生命並存的模樣,也讓讀者看見:即使經歷失去,愛與家庭仍然能在時間裡持續生長。
🏡 一個家庭,走過一生的歲月
本書取材自暢銷作家 Kate Beaton 的家族歷史,由曾獲 國際安徒生大獎肯定的藝術家 Sydney Smith 繪製插畫,以充滿情感的畫面呈現 Rebecca 一家跨越數十年的生命旅程。
一本溫柔而深刻的繪本,告訴我們——
人生或許會留下傷痕,但在漫長的歲月裡,依然能長出新的生活與愛。
A deeply moving picture book about a young mother and her family who find strength, resilience, and even joy in the face of sorrow, from bestselling author Kate Beaton and renowned artist Sydney Smith
Rebecca lives in a bright and bustling home with her family on an island, where their days are full of work and also stories and laughter.
Then, one wintry day, her husband disappears into the icy sea.
Sorrow follows Rebecca home, haunting empty chairs and quiet moments. But life must go on. There is still work to be done: new rooms to build, firewood to chop.
Many years pass, and Rebecca’s children have children of their own. The house is filled with light and noise once again.
Rebecca grows older and older, until one day, Sorrow pays her a visit. But there is no fear, for Sorrow is now an old friend. So they sit together as the sun sets and watch the fireplace flames flicker down to the last ember.
Inspired by acclaimed author Kate Beaton’s family history and stunningly illustrated by Hans Christian Andersen-award-winner Sydney Smith, this exquisite story tells a tale of not just loss, but of the life that blooms after it. It’s a story of strength and resilience, of determination and survival, and of the timelessness of family and love.
