SHEER ABANDON
Book ID/图书代码: 00200005B06165
English Summary/英文概要: One night in 1986 an abandoned baby girl is found in a cleaning cupboard at Heathrow airport. A year earlier, three girls, Martha, Clio and Jocasta had met by chance, at the start of a backpacking adventure: they travelled together briefly and then separated to go their different ways, swearing to meet again when they return home. But it would be a long time until they met again: not until Kate, the foundling, is a teenager, and the three women are all leading successful lives. Martha is a fiercely single, highly paid corporate lawyer, Clio a doctor, locked in an unhappy marriage to a surgeon, and Jocasta a reporter for a tabloid newspaper, in love with a charming commitment-phobe. Which of them is Kate’s mother? Why was she desperate enough to do such a thing, and how did she survive it?
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 以报业和政治为故事背景,加上背包族们畅快淋漓的自由感,SHEER ABANDON可以说算得上Penny Vincenzi众多小说作品中最精彩和最引人入胜的一部。
故事还要从1986年的某个晚上说起,在希思罗机场,有个女婴被人抛弃在了清洁柜里……一年之后,三个女生----Martha、Clio 和Jocasta在一次背包探险的起点不期而遇了:他们一起旅行了一段,然后就分道扬镳了,在分开之前,他们承诺一定要一起回家。但这一别就是未知数,等到三个女人再次相遇时,曾经襁褓中的弃婴,Kate,已经成长成亭亭玉立的少女,而三个女人也分别过上了颇为成功的生活。强悍的单身贵族Martha,是位收入颇高的企业律师, Clio是位医术颇高的医生,她身陷不幸的婚姻而痛苦不已,最后就是Jocasta,她是一家小报的记者,爱上了一位风流倜傥的却又害怕被任何承诺约束的男子。她们中到底哪一位是Kate的母亲?她怎么会绝望到抛下自己的女儿,她又是怎么活下来的?
