BETWEEN HERE AND APRIL: A NOVEL

Book ID/图书代码： 14560008B20845

English Summary/英文概要： When a deep-rooted memory suddenly surfaces, Elizabeth Burns becomes obsessed with the long-ago disappearance of her childhood friend April Cassidy. Driven to investigate, Elizabeth discovers a thirty-five-year-old newspaper article revealing the details that had been hidden from her as a child: April’s mother, Adele, drove with her two young daughters deep into the woods where she killed first them and then herself.
Elizabeth, now a mother herself, tracks down everyone—Adele Cassidy’s neighbor, her psychiatrist, her sister—who might give her the insight necessary to understand how a mother could commit such a monstrous crime.
Elizabeth’s investigation leads her back to herself: her compromised marriage, her demanding children, her increasing self-doubt, her desire for more out of her own life, and finally to a fearsome reckoning with what it means to be a mother and wife.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 当一个埋藏了许久的记忆重新浮现，伊丽莎白•伯恩斯便开始被她消失了许久的童年好友艾普尔•卡西蒂困扰得噩梦连连。驱车前去调查时，伊丽莎白在一份35年前的报纸上发现了从她儿时起便对她隐瞒的内幕：艾普尔的母亲，阿黛尔，开车载着她的两个小女儿到树林深处，杀死她们后自杀。
如今，伊丽莎白也已经做了母亲，她追踪着每条线索------阿黛尔•卡西蒂的邻居，她的心理咨询师，她的姐姐------希望任何人可以告诉她，一个母亲，怎么可以犯下如此恐怖的罪行。
伊丽莎白的调查又将其引回她本人：她那妥协的婚姻，费力的孩子，逐渐流逝的自信，她对与更多自我的渴望，而最终对于作为一名妻子和母亲的意义有了一个可怕的终结。

Starred Review. How could a mother kill her children? This breathtaking first novel from photojournalist Kogan (Shutterbabe) attempts a heart-wrenching answer. Elizabeth Lizzie Burns Steiger, a 41-year-old TV producer/journalist, has a hallucination while watching a performance of Medea at a Manhattan theater; she sees her best friend in first grade, April Cassidy, who was killed by April’s depressed mother, Adele, in 1972 in Potomac, Md., along with April’s sister. In addition to exploring her memories in therapy, Lizzie interviews the Cassidys’ former neighbor and others who knew the family for a proposed cable network documentary, but a priceless Pandora’s box—tapes of Adele with her psychiatrist—provides the most startling revelations. Kogan skillfully interweaves Lizzie’s struggles with her troubled marriage, parenting and a personal trauma shared in the Balkans with a former lover in this unflinching portrait of filicide, which still manages to find light in the darkness of a very disturbing subject. (Sept.)
