QUEEN OF THE UNDERWORLD
Book ID/图书代码： 01240005B03259
English Summary/英文概要： Godwin is the author of eleven acclaimed novels, including the bestsellers Evensong, (which received starred reviews from PW, Kirkus, and Library Journal), The Finishing School, and A Mother and Two Daughters. She has been a finalist three times for a National Book Award and is the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship, National Endowment grants for both fiction and libretto writing, and the Award in Literature from the American Academy and Institute of Arts & Letters. QUEEN OF THE UNDERWORLD is a pure and stunning novel set in Miami in the early 1960s - a big, sweeping, and yet intimately realized story about an ambitious young journalist named Emma Gant, whose fierceness of her belief in herself is set against the events of the larger world. This is the first in a two book contract. Godwin’s second novel, THE RED NUN, is set in a Catholic girls’ school in a former Victorian hotel in the Blue Ridge mountains of western North Carolina in the early 1950s. A psychological ghost story, THE RED NUN follows a group of difficult adolescent girls and the nuns who attempt to teach them. In addition to those novels, and publishing simultaneously with each, Random House will publish THE MAKING OF A WRITER, Volumes I and II. These are the extraordinary journals kept by Godwin about her early life as a writer, both to be edited by Rob Neufeld.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： Godwin曾创作过十一本颇叫座的小说，其中有《晚祷课》（PW，Kirkus,和《图书馆期刊》的星级评论），《女子精修学校》、《母亲和两个女孩》。她三次入围国家图书奖决赛提名，得 过哥根哈奖，国家小说、歌剧创作基金津贴以及美国艺术文化学院颁发的文学奖。《夜生活女王》是一部让人眼前一亮的纯小说，背景是六十年代初期的迈阿密，讲述了一位雄心勃勃年轻记者了不起的动人故事，故事意义深远，影响力大，内涵颇深。
Emma Gant是个极其自我的人，她如此自信，这与整个世界的大局格格不入。Godwin的第二本小说《红衣修女》的故事背景发生于一所天主教女子中学中，该学校坐落在北卡罗莱纳州西部蓝脊山脉上的一座前维多利亚式旅馆里，时间是二十世纪五十年代初期，《红衣修女》是一部心理学恐怖小说，围绕着一群叛逆的少女以及几位一心要帮助少女们的修女之间的感人故事。
