WAWONA HOTEL: A NOVEL
Book ID/图书代码： 09700008B21630
English Summary/英文概要： A woman’s car is hit broadside. When she awakens from a three-week coma, Danielle McAllister slowly realizes that she has new awareness--the disturbing ability to read the emotions and motives of others with perfect clarity. But this strange gift has a price. Danielle’s husband, James, feels shame as he discovers her ability to know his intentions. The marriage goes through a series of jolting revelations while James copes with his transparency. As things fall apart, Danielle forms a relationship of great delicacy and caution with a young man named Harper. Part protectiveness and part suppressed desire, the connection between them deepens while Harper is exhilarated by the same transparency that James finds so shameful. With a touch of Magic Realism, this love story powers a profound and disturbing mystery--what happens inside a person who is completely seen and known, yet not accepted? Wawona Hotel is a searing look at that question, a book both lyrical and wise, which pushes to the core of the human need to be loved.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 如果你的思想與行為完全被他人看透，你能接受嗎？
又假使你擁有如此使人煩惱的奇異能力，又該如何與他人相處？
這種能力在自己的愛人前，到底是禍還是福？
女主角丹妮爾•麥考利斯特不幸遭遇車禍，從長達三周的昏迷醒來後，逐漸意識到自己擁有了新的能力：一種令人不安卻可以清楚讀取到他人內心的情感和做事動機。而這份奇異的禮物將使丹妮爾付出一定的代價……
當丹妮爾的丈夫詹姆斯發現妻子擁有瞭解他意圖的能力時，感到非常羞恥及尷尬，無法容忍這種近乎透明被人看穿的生活，使得這段婚姻開始經歷一系列翻天覆地的變化……
隨著一切的崩潰瓦解，不久，丹妮爾開始對一位名叫哈珀的年輕男子，產生一種強烈的敏感與戒備之情。面對曾令詹姆斯倍感羞恥的丹妮爾的“特異功能”，哈珀卻顯得十分興奮，懷著想要被人保護和幾分壓抑的渴望，兩人間的關係愈加親密、深刻……
書中除了描述這些不可思議的謎團及其產生的影響，這部帶有魔幻色彩的愛情小說出色地詮釋了愛的真諦，作者抒情睿智的筆鋒最終表明了人類還是需要被愛的這一核心所在！(ZY & SK)
