ELEMENTAL

Book ID/图书代码： 11980515B84289

English Summary/英文概要： It has taken a lifetime for me to see that the more afraid people are of the darkness, the further into it they will flee.

Nearing the end of her life, Meggie Tulloch takes up her pen to write a story for her granddaughter. It begins in the first years of the twentieth century, in a place where howling winds spin salt and sleet sucked up from icefloes.

A place where lives are ruled by men, and men by the witchy sea. A place where the only thing lower than a girl in the order of things is a clever girl with accursed red hair. A place schooled in keeping secrets.

Moving from the north-east of Scotland to the Shetland Isles to Fremantle, Australia, Elemental is a novel about the life you make from the life you are given.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 我耗尽了毕生的时间才认清一个事实，人越是害怕黑暗，他们便越是会逃离地远远。

当生命即将走向尽头时，麦琪•塔洛克为自己的孙女拿起了手中的笔开始创作一个故事。故事开始于21世纪的第一年，在那里，咆哮的狂风卷起来自冰流的盐粒和冰雹。

在那里，所有的生命都被人类统治着，而人类则受控于巫力的海洋。在那里，唯一比微不足道的女孩还要低下的便是一名被诅咒的红发女孩。在那里，教育的目的在于教会保守秘密。

从苏格兰东北到设得兰群岛，再到澳大利亚的弗里曼特尔，《与生俱来》讲述了关于如何从你被赋予的人生中创造新生活的故事。（DC）

‘Curtin’s mastery of empathy and grace mirrors the master himself: Thomas Hardy.’ — Chigozie Obioma, author of The Fishermen

‘Elemental is an exquisite novel. Every word of it is tightly crafted and pregnant with possibility … Yet, at the same time, there is something almost old fashioned and timeless in its deep perceptions and observations.’ — The Compulsive Reader
