THE TRUTH COMMISSIONER

Book ID/图书代码: 02000007B12630

English Summary/英文概要: Henry Stanfield is pleased with his new title: ’Truth Commissioner’ has a pleasing ring to it. But his neutrality, as the product of an Irish Catholic mother and an English Protestant father, is about to be tested. Francis Gilroy, Minister for Children and Culture, has murky secrets that could leave him vulnerable, but his people have dealt with them; after all, it was a war they were fighting. James Fenton, retired RUC policeman, is haunted by the small, vulnerable white face of a boy who he could have saved, and failed to. Danny and Ramona flick through brochures, choosing a cot for their unborn child - but now the past is about to pull Danny back to Belfast and threaten everything beautiful and fragile that they have built together. Four very different men hold the secret between them of what happened to fifteen-year-old Conor Walshe on 10th May 1990. David Park tells each of their stories in prose that is insightful, direct and utterly involving.

Chinese Summary/中文概要: 亨利•斯丹菲尔德最近获得了“真理专员”的头衔,他很高兴。他的母亲是爱尔兰的天主教徒,他的父亲是英国的新教教徒。“真理专员”的工作将极大地挑战他的中立立场。福兰斯•格绕伊是儿童和文化部长。他身后有很多不为人所知的秘密,让他不堪一击。他的人民抓到了他的把柄。一场战争在他们之间打响了。詹姆斯•芬顿是北爱尔兰皇家骑警队的退休警察。他被一个削瘦的小孩的苍白的脸困扰着。他本来可以救那个小孩的,但是他没有。丹尼和阿曼纳翻着小册子,为他们尚未出生的孩子选择一个睡床。但是过去的记忆将把丹尼拉回到贝尔法斯特,将把他们共同创建的一切美好而又脆弱的东西毁灭掉。四个不同的人共同保守着十五年前(1990年5月10日)发生在康纳沃尔什的一个秘密。大卫•帕克用敏锐的洞察、率直而优美的语言和引人入胜的情节讲述了四个人各自不同的的故事。(兼职翻译-FSF)
