AMNESTY: A NOVEL
Book ID/图书代码： 03540019C00067
English Summary/英文概要： Danny--formerly Dhananjaya Rajaratnam--is an illegal immigrant in Sydney, Australia, denied refugee status after he fled from Sri Lanka. Working as a cleaner, living out of a grocery storeroom, for three years he’s been trying to create a new identity for himself. And now, with his beloved vegan girlfriend, Sonja, with his hidden accent and highlights in his hair, he is as close as he has ever come to living a normal life.
But then one morning, Danny learns a female client of his has been murdered. The deed was done with a knife, at a creek he’d been to with her before; and a jacket was left at the scene, which he believes belongs to another of his clients--a doctor with whom Danny knows the woman was having an affair. Suddenly Danny is confronted with a choice: Come forward with his knowledge about the crime and risk being deported? Or say nothing, and let justice go undone? Over the course of this day, evaluating the weight of his past, his dreams for the future, and the unpredictable, often absurd reality of living invisibly and undocumented, he must wrestle with his conscience and decide if a person without rights still has responsibilities.
Propulsive, insightful, and full of Aravind Adiga’s signature wit and magic, Amnesty is both a timeless moral struggle and a universal story with particular urgency today.

但有一天早上，丹尼得知他的一个女客户被谋杀了。这件事是用刀做的，是在他以前和她一起去过的一条小溪上;现场还留下了一件夹克，他认为那是他的另一个客户的——医生，丹尼知道那个女人有外遇。突然，丹尼面临着一个选择:站出来说出他对犯罪的了解，冒着被驱逐出境的风险?还是什么都不说，让正义消失?在这一天的过程中，他评估着自己过去的分量，未来的梦想，以及无法预测的、往往是荒谬的、生活在无形和无证的现实里，他必须与自己的良心斗争，并决定一个没有权利的人是否仍然有责任。
《大赦》是一部永恒的道德斗争，也是一个具有特殊紧迫性的普世故事，它具有推进力、洞察力和阿拉文德·阿迪加的标志性智慧和魔力。（WYL）
