    THE BEHAVIOUR OF LOVE

    Book ID/图书代码: 11701217C00118

    English Summary/英文概要: Edmund Malinowski uproots his wife, Laura, to move cross-country to a small town in Montana where he’s been hired to reform the Boulder River School and Hospital—an institution for the developmentally disabled. While Edmund struggles to overcome institutional disregard and rampant abuse at the hands of his negligent staff, he finds himself taken with one of his patients, a fiercely intelligent epileptic young woman named Penelope, unfairly judged by the times and hospitalized due to her seizures.

    As Edmund becomes ever more invested in saving the residents from the institution intended to serve them, his relationship with Penelope begins to push the lines of propriety. Even after Laura gives birth to their first child, Edmund continues to prioritize work over family,and the marriage crumbles. Laura remarries and has a second child, while Edmund receives accolades for his patient advocacy and progressive policies. Just as Edmund finds some stability in his new life as a bachelor, a catastrophic accident recasts everything—love, work, and the mind itself.

    Chinese Summary/中文概要: 埃德蒙•马丽诺夫斯基离开了他的妻子劳拉,搬到蒙大拿的一个小镇,在那里他被雇佣来改革博尔德河学校和医院,为发育障碍的人提供医疗机构。当埃德蒙努力克服机构的忽视和滥用职权的行为时,他发现自己和他的一个病人一起,一个非常聪明的癫痫病的年轻女性,名叫佩内洛普,由于她的癫痫发作而受到了不公平的审判。 当埃德蒙越来越多地投资于拯救那些打算为他们服务的机构的居民时,他与佩内普洛的关系开始推动礼仪的发展。即使在劳拉生下了他们的第一个孩子之后,埃德蒙仍然继续优先考虑家庭的工作,婚姻破裂了。劳拉再婚,并有了第二个孩子,而埃德蒙则因为他的耐心倡导和进步政策而受到赞誉。就像埃德蒙在他的新生活中找到了一个稳定的单身汉一样,一场灾难性的事故使一切——爱、工作和思想都重了。(WYL)

    Praise for previous novel, Work Like Any Other:

    ‘Assured and absorbing... a potent mix of icy honesty and heart-wrenching tenderness’ Jim Crace

    ‘Exquisite... gorgeous, painful, original, and so true in all its details. Reeves writes with incredibly intelligent compassion, and in Roscoe Martin has created an extraordinary man who more than earns his place among the complicated population of the literary South. Thick with dread and beauty, this is a stunning chronicle of a time, a place, and a mind.’ Fiona McFarlane, author of The Night Guest
