內容簡介 「這是一個展現作者文學寫作精湛技藝的紀錄。」──星期日泰晤士報 距離倫敦不遠的地方有個村落，它跟英國的其他村落沒有太大的差別，有一間教堂、有一間酒吧、紅磚蓋的小屋和幾間座落其中的大房子，聲音從四周傳來，說著村落裡的日常。 這個村落屬於現在的居民，也屬於好幾百年的當地居民，屬於英國謎題重重的過去，也屬於混亂不堪的現在。 這個村落屬於MadPete，那個藝術家，也屬於古早時期的居民Peggy，她喜歡在柵欄邊說八卦，說給已經過世幾百年的家人，還有說給剛搬到村落的人們聽。 《當悲傷長了翅膀》作者麥克斯‧波特回歸文壇的最新作品，講述關於友誼、青春、愛情的故事，古怪卻美麗，新作沒有辜負讀者的期待，Goodreads讀者近五顆星的好評，更證實了作者波特的寫作功力。Not far from London, there is a village.This village belongs to the people who live in it and to those who lived in it hundreds of years ago.
