Book ID/图书代码: 12340516B91870
English Summary/英文概要: Lynnwood was a finalist in The People’s Book Prize 2014. Who wouldn’t want to live in an idyllic village in the English countryside like Lynnwood? With its charming pub, old dairy, friendly vicar, gurgling brooks, and its old paths with memories of simpler times. But behind the conventional appearance of Lynnwood’s villagers, only two sorts of people crawl out of the woodwork: those who hunt and those who are prey. Visitors are watched by an entity between the trees where the Dark Ages have endured to the twenty-first century. Families who have lived behind stone walls and twitching curtains know that the gusts of wind blowing through the nearby alluring Forest bring with them a stench of delightful hunger only Lynnwood can appease.
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 本书入围2014年人民图书奖决赛。谁不想住在像林伍德这样诗意的英国田园乡村呢?那里有迷人的小酒吧,古老的牛奶店,友好的牧师,发出汩汩声的溪流,还有古老的步道,到处都是更早些时候留下的回忆。但在林伍德居民看似传统的表面背后是两类人:狩猎者和被狩猎的对象。游客都受到监视,黑暗时代的组织一直到二十一世纪仍旧存在。那些住在石墙和拉起的窗帘背后的人们知道,附近那些看似葱郁的森林中吹来的风里都挟裹着饥饿的腥风,而只有林伍德能够满足那些需求。(LYR)
