BLEEDING KANSAS

Book ID/图书代码： 03880007B17481

English Summary/英文概要： The Grelliers and the Schapens are two families who have been farming in the Kaw River Valley for over a hundred and fifty years, their lives connected through the generations by history and geography. Gina Haring, bringing with her the liberal air of the big city, moves into a dilapidated house near both families’ properties. Gina has secrets, her own reasons for being in the Kansas countryside, and they’re not necessarily what the people around her imagine. Susan’s involvement with her stirs up the wrath of the Schapen clan -- and has cataclysmic results for her own family.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： Grelliers 和Schapens家族已经有一百五十年的历史了，两家族也在不停的交往，他们之间世代交往，关系亲密。故事的主人公Gina Haring给整个城市带来自由的气氛，那种气氛也带到了两个家族中。Gina是有秘密的人，而她周围的人并非她所想象的那样。此书风格一改作者以前的笔风，有婉楚动人的爱情，有当时历史背景的烘托，表现人物性格等复杂变化，描写得淋漓尽致。

Awards/获奖情况：Paretsky, best known for her acclaimed V.I. Warshawski mystery series (Blacklist), turns to her roots in rural Kansas for this stand-alone novel of bigotry, lawlessness, and rampant biblical fundamentalism.
It is the 1970s, and the Schapen and Grellier families have been farming adjacent land since the Civil War. Familiarity has bred contempt, and though both families profess Christianity, they practice it very differently, which sets them at odds. When one of the Schapens’ cows gives birth to what may be a "perfect red heifer" and a local Orthodox Jewish sect shows great interest in it for potential sacrifice, a media frenzy ensues, stirring religious and monetary fervor. Then, a young Wiccan moves into a local empty farmhouse and starts conducting pagan rights, and the tiny community begins an active harassment campaign. All this is background for the star-crossed love between teenagers Lara Grellier and Robbie Schapen. Paretsky has written a powerful tale with overtones of the Wild West that illustrates the ease with which communities become zealous, ignited by fear and ignorance. Different in style from her crime fiction, this will nonetheless prove popular among her readers. Recommended. [See Prepub Alert, LJ 9/1/07.]—Susan Clifford Braun, Aerospace Corp., El Segundo, CA
