    MEMORIES OF GLASS

    Book ID/图书代码: 13341019C00021

    English Summary/英文概要: Reminiscent of Diane Ackerman’s The Zookeeper’s Wife, this stunning novel draws from true accounts to shine a light on a period of Holland’s darkest history and bravest heroes.

    1942. As war rips through the heart of Holland, childhood friends Josie van Rees and Eliese Linden partner with a few daring citizens to rescue Eliese’s son and hundreds of other Jewish children who await deportation in a converted theater in Amsterdam. But amid their resistance work, Josie and Eliese’s dangerous secrets could derail their friendship and their entire mission. When the enemy finds these women, only one will escape.

    Seventy-five years later, Ava Drake begins to suspect that her great-grandfather William Kingston was not the World War II hero he claimed to be. Her work as director of the prestigious Kingston Family Foundation leads her to Landon West’s Ugandan coffee plantation, and Ava and Landon soon discover a connection between their families. As Landon’s great-grandmother shares the broken pieces of her story, Ava must confront the greatest loss in her own life―and powerful members of the Kingston family who will do anything to keep the truth buried.

    Illuminating the story and strength of these women, award-winning author Melanie Dobson transports readers through time and place, from World War II Holland to contemporary Uganda, in this rich and inspiring novel.

    Chinese Summary/中文概要: 这部令人惊叹的小说让人想起了黛安·阿克曼的《动物园管理员的妻子》,它取材于真实的故事,将荷兰最黑暗的历史和最勇敢的英雄的一段时期展现在世人面前。

    1942. 当战争在荷兰的心脏地带肆虐时,儿时的好友乔西·万·里斯和埃利斯·林登与几个勇敢的市民一起在阿姆斯特丹一家改建的剧院里营救埃利斯的儿子和其他数百名等待被驱逐出境的犹太儿童。但在他们的抵抗工作中,乔西和埃利塞的危险秘密可能会破坏他们的友谊和他们的整个任务。当敌人发现这些女人时,只有一个人能逃脱。

    75年后,艾娃·德雷克开始怀疑,她的曾祖父威廉·金斯顿并不是他自称的二战英雄。作为久负盛名的金斯顿家庭基金会的董事,艾娃来到了兰登·韦斯特在乌干达的咖啡种植园。很快,艾娃和兰登发现了他们家庭之间的联系。随着兰登的曾祖母分享她的故事的碎片,艾娃必须面对她自己生命中最大的损失,以及金斯顿家族的强大成员,他们会做任何事来掩盖真相。

    获奖作家梅勒妮·多布森通过这本丰富而鼓舞人心的小说,讲述了这些女性的故事和力量,将读者带到了时间和地点,从第二次世界大战的荷兰到当代的乌干达。(WYL)

    Awards/获奖情况:就像阳光下的彩色碎片一样,梅勒妮·多布森在这部关于二战期间荷兰隐藏的恐怖故事的复杂而扣人心弦的故事中,再次闪耀着她的真理之光。《格拉斯的回忆》是一个非凡的故事,即使读到最后一页,它也会在读者心中久久不去忘怀。”(凯特·布雷斯林,《此时此刻》的畅销书作者)

    《玻璃的回忆》是一部非凡的、多层次的小说,讲述了战时荷兰的友谊和信仰,以及非洲现代孤儿院的故事。令人难忘的角色描绘了人际关系的复杂性,揭示了我们选择的持久后果,无论是懦弱的还是勇敢的,而这些神秘的东西让我不停地翻页……”(畅销书《仁慈的遗产》的作者林恩·奥斯汀)

    “《玻璃的回忆》令人激动,令人心碎,最终令人振奋,展示了帮助他人的美丽,展示了只帮助自己的丑陋,展示了世代秘密的破坏力。”梅勒妮·多布森令人难忘的角色和细致入微的观察力让纳粹占领下的荷兰的危险变得鲜活起来。这本小说将伴随你一生。”(萨拉·桑丁,获奖畅销书《天空在我们之上》作者)

    扣人心弦的历史,以及梅勒妮·多布森标志性的华丽文笔,创造了一个让你无法放下、也不想放下的故事。《玻璃的回忆》是一个令人惊奇的、错综复杂的故事,它讲述了在最不可能的地方发现光明的故事。”(《英格兰上空的阴影》系列畅销书作者罗斯安娜·怀特)

    “随着二战时期和现代的故事情节同样迷人和巧妙地交织在一起,我无法停止翻看梅勒妮·多布森对格拉斯的回忆。这本书取材于历史,意在突出荷兰人对希特勒纳粹政权的反抗,故事的背景范围十分广阔,每一页都栩栩如生,节奏就像滚雪球一样,越滚越低,生死攸关的赌注越堆越高,悬念也越来越大。《格拉斯的回忆》中充满了英雄的、有缺陷的、令人难忘的角色,一定会让梅兰妮·多布森的长期粉丝们以及对她的小说不熟悉的读者们感到高兴。”(洛里·本顿,《许多麻雀与国王的仁慈》的作者)
