PUCCINI’S GHOSTS

Book ID/图书代码： 00470005B02797

English Summary/英文概要： The year is 1960. The place is a Scottish seaside town utterly devoid of culture and charm. Here, Lila lives as the third player in her parents’ dramatically embittered marriage. Until her flamboyant, irrepressible uncle George shows up from London and her family decides to squander a windfall on the most preposterous of causes: a civic production of the Puccini opera Turandot.

Lila knows nothing of opera and little of her uncle or the dashing young man he hires to sing the role of Calaf. But Lila does know passion. Because it’s coursing through her veins—and rushing blindly, wildly all around her. Now a girl on the verge of womanhood is about to blunder into a grown-up world where secrets are kept and exposed, hopes soar and wither, and where crimes petty and great exact the most chilling punishments of all.

Masterfully paced and spellbinding till its final, haunting scene, Puccini’s Ghosts is a piercing look into the fierce darkness that lurks behind seemingly ordinary lives.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 父親的離世讓歌手萊拉回到她兒時度過的蘇格蘭小鎮。雖然她拼命抑制住自己不要回到當時的記憶中去，然而在清點家裡的財產時，當年父母的膽怯，她十五歲的那個夏天，都像勢不可擋的洪水一樣攪亂了她的思緒…

那個夏天發生了太多的事情，她首次登臺；父母的婚姻走向破裂；情竇初開，第一次瘋狂愛上了一個男孩兒；發現了叔叔與自己男友的性行為。人物之間的關係緩緩展開，從萊拉稚嫩而憤怒的眼神中可以得知，她明白了一切，而她的行為也造成了這個家庭最終的衰落(Claire)

Awards/获奖情况：Morag Joss has been compared to those other two premiere weird sisters in crime, Ruth Rendell/Barbara Vine and Minette Walters. Such compliments are tossed about all too lightly in the publishing world, but this one is so justified that it seems like an understatement. —Washington Post Book World
