THE LAST SEPTEMBER
Book ID/图书代码： 00342515B82190
English Summary/英文概要： Brett had been in love with Charlie from the day she laid eyes on him in college. When Charlie is found murdered, Brett is devastated. But, if she is honest with herself, their marriage had been hanging by a thread for quite some time.
Though all clues point to Charlie’s brother Eli, who’s been in and out of psychiatric hospitals for years, any number of people might have been driven to slit the throat of Charlie Moss--a handsome, charismatic man who unwittingly damaged almost every life he touched. Now, looking back on their lives together, Brett is determined to understand how such a tragedy could have happened--and whether she was somehow complicit.
Set against the desolate autumn beauty of Cape Cod, The Last September is a riveting emotional puzzle. Award-winning author Nina de Gramont is at the top of her game as she takes readers inside the psyche of a woman facing down the meaning of love and loyalty.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 大学时期，布莱特对查理一见钟情。当查理被谋杀后，布莱特近乎绝望。但实际上，布莱特和查理的婚姻已经有一阵子岌岌可危了。
虽然所有的证据都指向查理的兄弟艾力，他曾出入精神病院多年，但仔细想来有许多人都有理由杀了查理•莫斯。这个英俊的、充满魅力的男人，试图摧毁所有他可以触碰到的生命。回看布莱特和查理的交集，布莱特必须明白这次悲剧是如何发生的，以及她是否也是这场谋杀的参与者之一。《最后的九月》故事背景设置在美丽而肃静的科德角晚秋，就像是一个情感拼图般令人难以捉摸。屡获殊荣的畅销作家尼娜•德•格瑞蒙特将一个女人面对挚爱和忠诚意义的心理淋漓尽致地描绘了出来。（XAT）

“A moody murder mystery . . . De Gramont’s (Gossip of the Starlings, 2008, etc.) latest boasts lovely, understated writing, sharply drawn settings--Boulder, Amherst, and Cape Cod--and, once again, characters who are irresistibly attractive, flawed, and dangerous . . . But it is also an emotionally intense study of how a transcendent love becomes a fraying marriage . . . A fine literary whodunit from an accomplished storyteller." —Kirkus Reviews
“A convincing and suspenseful novel, well-written, precise, and poignant in its depiction of human nature in dire distress.” —Sheila Kohler, author of Dreaming for Freud
“Brilliant rendering of love story, murder mystery, pitch-perfect study of horrific ’ordinary’ mental illness, and that rare coming of age novel that deals with adults, who actually do come of age in the most difficult ways. I was hooked by the first paragraph, which somehow contains all the beautiful, luminous grief of the whole story, and I truly did not want to let it go in the end.” —Brad Watson, author of Aliens in the Prime of Their Lives
“The Last September is a wonderful, glowing book populated by characters that become a part of your life long after the last page has been turned. It is the type of novel writers admire and readers long for.” —Jason Mott, author of The Returned
