LAND OF THE LIVING
Book ID/图书代码： 02000017C00146
English Summary/英文概要： Every time the dream came it was diff erent and yet he felt that he had dreamt it
exactly that way before. The trees, there were always the trees, and the mist and
the shadows and the running.
Charlie’s experiences at the Battle of Kohima and the months he spent lost
in the remote jungles of Northern India are now history. Home and settled on
a farm in Norfolk with his wife Claire, he is one of the lucky survivors. The soil
promises healthy crops and Claire is ready for a family.
But a chasm exists between them. Memories fl ood Charlie’s mind; at night, on
rain-slicked roads and misty mornings in the fi elds, the past can feel more real
than the present. What should be said and what left unsaid? Is it possible to fi nd
connection and forge a new life in the wake of unfathomable horror?
An intimate, profound meditation on the isolating impact of war and the
inescapable reach of the past, Georgina Harding’s haunting and lyrical new
novel questions the very nature of survival, and what it is that the living owe
the dead.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 每次进入梦境都是不同的，但他却觉得自己之前的梦似曾相识。梦境里总是有树木，周围薄雾和阴影缭绕着。
查理曾参加过科希马战役(Battle of Kohima)，以及他在印度北部偏远丛林中迷失的几个月的经历，如今已成为历史。返家后，他和妻子克莱尔在诺福克的一个农场定居下来，他是幸免于难的幸存者之一。庄稼茁壮生长，妻子克莱尔也为迎接家庭新成员的到来做好了准备。
但一条鸿沟横亘在他们之间。查理满脑子都是回忆；夜晚，在雨后光滑的路面，和田间雾蒙蒙的早晨，对过去的感觉比现在更为真实。该说些什么，保留些什么，如何自处? 能否在深不可测的恐怖之后找到出路，重建生活吗?
对战争冲击隔离和挥之不去的过去的影响，进行了一次深入而又具有深远意义的沉思，乔治娜·哈丁(Georgina Harding)这部令人难以忘怀的抒情新小说对生存的本质提出了质疑，以及那些幸存下来的人应该如何回报逝者。
