FIELDS OF GOLD
Book ID/图书代码： 14780005B05066
English Summary/英文概要： Eva, the main character, grows up on a dusty little farm in Oklahoma. She is happy there, living with her parents, having Ruby as a best friend, and making beautiful quilts out of little pieces of worn-out clothing. Then one life-changing day, a young aviator arrives at the town and gives Eva a ride in his plane. Life after that is never the same.
Bostwick does a great job of pulling you into the story with her characterizations-the people are real, with flaws and strengths that make them easy to relate to. You just can’t help being drawn into their lives, feeling their worries, hopes, and joys.
And if you, like Eva, are interested in quilting or any other needlework, then please join us at the Miller Branch for Pins and Needles. We meet on two Thursday mornings a month, from 10 am-12 pm. Bring a stitching project to work on while you meet new people, and take some time to slow down for a couple of hours out of your busy day.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： Eva從小生長在鄉村，她快樂的認為，門口那一大片一望無際的麥田、親愛的爸爸媽媽、死黨Ruby、兩人合力把舊衣服做成溫暖舒服的拼被，就是她一生最棒的寫照了。直到一個天外空降的飛行員，用飛機載她體驗飛行，她才發現原來這個世界還有其他有趣的事。作者雖然仍將小說背景置於第二次世界大戰的苦難年代，但是她以溫馨的筆法，呈現壞時機的好人性，十分觸動讀者心靈。（TT）
