WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT

Book ID/图书代码： 00110918C00003

English Summary/英文概要： Karen Hofmann’s empathetic and cathartic novel, What is Going to Happen Next, pieces together the lives of five members of the Lund family following their enforced dispersal after the death of the father and the hospitalization of the mother in the remote West Coast community of Butterfly Lake. It explores their self-doubts and aspirations in the ways they cope with their separation and reunion through their work and personal relationships, and reveals the ways in which their past is filtered through memory and desire. It also skillfully exposes a Vancouver class system from the perspectives of diverse socio-economic conditions and lifestyles.

What is Going to Happen Next is character-driven and well-wrought, with a tenderness that propels the reader forward alongside the Lunds who are learning to fuse together as a chosen family.

凯伦·霍夫曼(Karen Hofmann)的小说《接下来会发生什么》(What is Going Happen Next)充满同情和情感宣泄，讲述了隆德一家五口在父亲去世、母亲住院后被迫分散到遥远的西海岸蝴蝶湖社区后的生活。它探讨了他们的工作和个人关系，如何应对分离和团聚的自我怀疑和抱负，并揭示了他们的过去通过记忆和欲望过滤的方式。它还巧妙地从不同的社会经济条件和生活方式的角度揭示了温哥华的阶级制度。《接下来会发生什么》是一部以人物为导向、精心打造的小说，温柔地推动着读者与隆德一家一起前进，隆德一家正在学着融合成一个被选择的家庭。(Sandy)
