THE BONE HOUSE

Book ID/图书代码: 00110905B07479

English Summary/英文概要: British Columbia has changed. Globally, the weather has become extreme and unpredictable. Giant corporations rule. They are the beneficiaries of environmental laws imposed too late to help the world, but which can be used to control and impoverish the remaining population.

A young woman, Lia, escapes a Vancouver that has deteriorated into a landscape of gated communities, violent gangs, squalid squats, and sinister welfare agencies. She returns to her childhood home in the Kootenays and a commune where Magnus and his mother Ama and their eccentric neighbour, Matt, are determined not only to fight for their land but to understand the events that have shaped their lives.

The Bone House, a new novel by Luanne Armstrong, is a riveting tale of a world in which people have become endangered species. The memorable character and their resolve and hope will live on in the reader’s mind long after the end of The Bone House.

Chinese Summary/中文概要: 英国的哥伦比亚已经改变了。在全球范围内,天气已经变得极端的和不可预测。巨头公司的规则。他们作为强加的环境法律的受益人对帮助世界已经太晚,但是他们可以控制和剥削剩下的人口。

Lia,一个年轻女人,逃离了温哥华——一个变成封闭的社区景观、暴力团伙,肮脏广场和邪恶的福利机构的地方。她回到她在 Kootenays 的童年的家和公社,在那里有Magnus和他的母亲以及他们古怪的邻居。Matt不仅下决心要去争取他们自己的领地,还要了解整个改变他们生活的事件。

The Bone House是Luanne Armstrong写的一部新小说,描绘了一个引人入胜的世界,在那里人类变成了濒危物种。这本书里的人物和他们的决心以及希望,在读者读完后依然会有很长一段时间深深地印在他们的大脑里。(LNL)
