WELLNESS: A NOVEL
Book ID/图书代码： 02330022C00005
English Summary/英文概要： The New York Times best-selling author of The Nix is back with a poignant and witty novel about marriage, the often baffling pursuit of health and happiness, and the stories that bind us together. From the gritty ’90s Chicago art scene to a suburbia of detox diets and home-renovation hysteria, Wellness reimagines the love story with a healthy dose of insight, irony, and heart.
“A hilarious and moving exploration of a modern marriage that astounds in its breadth and intimacy.” —Brit Bennett, author of The Vanishing Half
When Jack and Elizabeth meet as college students in the ’90s, the two quickly join forces and hold on tight, each eager to claim a place in Chicago’s thriving underground art scene with an appreciative kindred spirit. Fast-forward twenty years to married life, and alongside the challenges of parenting, they encounter cults disguised as mindfulness support groups, polyamorous would-be suitors, Facebook wars, and something called Love Potion Number Nine.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 《紐約時報》暢銷書作家納森‧希爾(Nathan Hill)繼《水精靈》(The Nix)的成功後，帶著新作強勢歸來！
這是一部淒美又詼諧的作品，講述著關於婚姻、經常令人費解的對健康和幸福的追求，以及將你我連結在一起的故事。
從不加掩飾的90年代芝加哥藝術場域到有著排毒餐食和胡亂裝潢的郊區，《健全》(Wellness)以一帖由洞察力、反諷和真心所組成的良藥重構了一個愛情故事。
90年代，還是大學生的傑克(Jack)和伊莉莎白(Elizabeth)才剛初識便迅速地墜入愛河，兩人攜手並進，渴望和志同道合的伴侶一同在芝加哥蓬勃發展的地下藝術場域中佔據一席之地。時間快轉到婚後的20年，除了生兒育女的挑戰，他們還遭遇了偽裝成正念支援團體的邪教、多角戀的潛在追求者、Facebook上的論戰，以及名為「第九號愛情魔藥」的東西。
傑克和伊莉莎白第一次意識到自己就要辨認不出對方的模樣了，當不再年輕的夢想家被迫面對他們的心魔，從沒有實現的職涯抱負到他們源自機能不全的家庭的痛苦童年回憶。在此過程中，傑克和伊莉莎白必須承擔各自的責任，挖掘自己的內心，否則他們可能會失去生命中最美好的事物：彼此。(Tiffany)

野心勃勃、引人入勝、冰雪聰明，最終令人心碎，納森‧希爾的《健全》就是由這些以及更多的一切所組成。
——理察‧羅素(Richard Russo)，《大智若愚》(Nobody’s Fool)、《布朗寧家的夏天》(That Old Cape Magic)的作者
令人暖心的……一部苦樂參半的愛情小說，撰寫了幾十年間中獲得、失去又復得的愛。
——柯克斯書評(Kirkus Reviews)
Nathan Hill has synthesized about a hundred years of that distinctly American delusion called self-improvement, and Wellness is the whip smart and gently comic result. Epic in scope, domestic in scale, it’s a book that defies anyone to read it and willingly pick up a dumbbell or worry about counting steps ever again. Hill has released you, America, and his book will leave you not only fortified but amazed.
