SWEET BREATH OF MEMORY
Book ID/图书代码： 14780016B88973
English Summary/英文概要： Life is in the telling.
With its tree-lined streets, vibrant downtown and curbside planters of spring bulbs, Amberley, Massachusetts, seems a good place for Cate Saunders to start over. It’s been two years since her husband, John, was killed in Iraq and life has been a struggle. Her new job as a caregiver doesn’t pay much, but the locals are welcoming. In fact, Cate has barely unpacked before she’s drawn--reluctantly at first--into a circle of friends.
There’s diner-owner Gaby, who nourishes her customers’ spirits as well as their bodies; feisty Beatrice, who kept the town going when its men marched off to WWII; wise-cracking MaryLou, as formidable as Fort Knox but with the same heart of gold; and, Sheila, whose Italian grocery is the soul of the place. As Amberley reveals itself to be a town shaped by war, Cate encounters another kindred spirit--a Holocaust survivor with whom she feels a deep connection. When revelations about John’s death threaten Cate’s newfound peace of mind, these sisters-in-arms’ stories show her an unexpected way forward. And Cate comes to understand that although we suffer loss alone, we heal by sharing our most treasured memories.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 生活便是故事。
马萨诸塞州的安伯利充满着生机，似乎很适合Cate Saunders开始新生活。她的丈夫John两年前在伊拉克丧生。两年来，她一直过得很艰辛。她找了份护工的新工作，虽然收入不多，但当地人都十分友好。而她直到结交了几个朋友之后才开始把行李打开。
她的朋友包括：关照客人身心健康的餐馆主人Gaby；活跃的Beatrice，在镇上男人奔赴二战前线时努力保持小镇的运转；如诺克斯堡般坚不可摧的MaryLou，拥有一颗金子般的心；Sheila，所有的意大利杂货铺是小镇的灵魂所在。随着Cate慢慢深入了解这座被战争重新塑造的城镇，她也遇到了另一个志趣相投的灵魂——大屠杀幸存者。当John的死亡真相慢慢揭开并对Cate的内省平静产生影响时，这些与她并肩的姐妹们的故事为她找到了意外的出路。Cate渐渐明白尽管我们不得不独自忍受失去的痛苦，但我们能够通过与他们分享最珍贵的回忆得到治愈。(LYR)
