Book ID/图书代码: 11980515B79838
English Summary/英文概要: Kurt Cobain stands at the top of the stairs, wearing the brown sweater. ‘Please don’t leave me,’ she yells up at him. But it’s too late; he’s turning away as the tram slows for the stop out on the street. Then she’s lying on the road. Car tyres are going past, slowly. Somebody is screaming. A siren howls.
Sweet voices of little children are singing ‘Morningtown ride’. Is Brigitte a loving wife and mother, or a cold-blooded killer?
Nobody knows why she was in the east of the city so early on the morning she was left for dead by a hit-and-run driver. It was the Thursday before Christmas 1994, and police discovered the body of a man beaten to death in her apartment.
Fourteen years later, Brigitte is married to the detective who investigated the murder, which she claims to have lost her memory of in the car accident. They have young twins, and seem to be a happy family. Until the reopening of the cold case.
Please Don’t Leave Me Here is about loss, love and lies. It is about pain, fear, and memory. And, above all, it is about letting go.
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 库尔特•柯本穿着棕色的毛衣,站在楼梯顶端。朝着他大喊“请不要离开我”。但是太晚了,当电车停在街上时,他转身就走了。然后她躺在路上。汽车轮胎正慢慢地轧过去。有人在尖叫。警笛呼啸。
小孩子可爱的声音在唱着“轻驶在小镇的清晨”。布丽奇特是一个可爱的妻子和母亲,还是一个冷血杀手?
没有人知道为什么清晨她会出现在城市的东部,而她本被一个肇事逃逸的死机撞死了。1994年圣诞节前的星期四,警察在她的公寓发现了一具男人的尸体。
十四年后,布丽奇特嫁给了调查谋杀案的侦探,而她自称在车祸中失去了记忆。他们有一对双胞胎,似乎是一个幸福的家庭。直到尘封的案例被重新打开。《请不要离开我》是关于失去,爱和谎言的故事。是关于痛苦,恐惧和记忆的故事。最重要的是,是关于放手的故事。(LNL)
