FISHNET: A NOVEL

Book ID/图书代码: 01890018C00006

English Summary/英文概要: Twenty year old Rona Leonard walks out of her sister Fiona’s flat and disappears.

Six years on, worn down by a tedious job, child care and the aching absence in her life, Fiona’s mundane existence is blown apart by the revelation that, before she disappeared, Rona had been working as a prostitute. Driven to discover the truth, Fiona embarks on an obsessive quest to investigate the sex industry that claimed her sister. As she is drawn into a complex world, Fiona makes shocking discoveries that challenge everything she believed, and will ultimately change her life forever. Bittersweet, sensual and rich, Fishnet takes a clear-eyed, meticulously researched, controversial look at the sex industry and the lives of sex workers, questioning our perception of contemporary femininity.

Chinese Summary/中文概要: 20岁的Rona Leonard从姐姐Fiona的公寓出来后就失踪了。

6年间,Fiona的生活被无聊的工作、照料孩子和失去亲人的痛苦填满,就在这时,她得知了一个惊人的消息:在Rona失踪前,她一直在当妓女。为了查明真相,Fiona踏上了调查性产业之路。她进入了一个复杂的世界,所见所闻挑战着她曾经的信仰,并将最终改变她的人生。小说苦乐参半、细节丰富,对性产业和性工作者的生活进行了清醒、细致、矛盾的审视,对我们对当代女性化的观念提出了质疑。(LYR)
