THE INVISIBLE YEARS
Book ID/图书代码： 11701218C00102
English Summary/英文概要： Seventeen-year old Ladislao has an affair with his
English teacher, twice his age. His classmate Andrea finds out that she’s pregnant and is alone as she seeks an abortion. Both are about to graduate high school, in the conservative, pre-internet Bolivia of the nineteennineties.
Twenty years later in the United States, a
former friend tries to write their stories. Embroiled in his own personal crises, he’s obsessed with the tragic outcome of that last year of high school, and its lingering impact on their lives. As they stumble into adulthood, the characters of this heart-wrenching novel are faced with urgent dilemmas and few answers, and don’t always know that every action will have lasting consequences. With great empathy and an impeccable rhythm, The Invisible Years immerses us in the vulnerability and confusion, but also the spontaneity and beauty of late adolescence.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 17岁的拉迪斯劳(Ladislao)和他年长两倍岁数的，英语老师有染。他的同学安德莉亚(Andrea)发现自己怀孕，独自一人寻求堕胎。二人都即将高中毕业，在保守为开化的19世纪的玻利维亚。二十年后的美国，一位曾经的朋友试图写下他们的故事。卷入他自己的个人危机，他痴迷于高中最后一年的悲惨结局，以及它对他们生活的挥之不去的影响。
随着他们跌跌撞撞地步入成年，这部令人揪心的小说的主人公们面临着紧迫的困境，几乎没有答案，也不总是知道每一个行动都会产生持久的后果。凭借巨大的同情心和无懈可击的节奏，‘The Invisible Years’让我们沉浸在脆弱和困惑之中，也让我们沉浸在青春期后期的自发性和美感之中。(Sandy)
