LAST KISS
Book ID/图书代码： 06830008B24320
English Summary/英文概要： New York Times bestselling author Luanne Rice returns to Hubbard’s Point, Connecticut, and to characters from her beloved Beach Girls, to tell the haunting story of a close-knit community grappling with a heartbreaking mystery, and of a woman rebuilding her world and reclaiming a love she believed lost a lifetime ago.
A face on a poster, a name in the news, an inexplicable tragedy. A promising young man goes out one warm summer evening and is found dead—murdered—less than twenty-four hours later. No motive. No clues. No answers. Most people reflect briefly on the disturbing headlines, perhaps say a silent prayer of safely removed sympathy, and go on with their lives. But what if the young man was your son? Or your true love?
Nearly a year after the death of eighteen-year-old Charlie, singer-songwriter Sheridan Rosslare still hasn’t played a note of the music that was once her life’s passion. Tucked away in the beach house where she raised her only child, she lives with her memories of him and a grief too big to share even with her beloved sisters or her dear friend Stevie Moore. Nor can Stevie comfort Charlie’s heartbroken girlfriend, Nell Kilvert, whom she regards as a daughter. Nell won’t rest until she finds out what really happened to the boy she loved. Out of the past she summons a man she believes cares enough, and is tough enough, to uncover the truth—Sheridan’s long-ago soul mate, Gavin Dawson.
Now Gavin’s boat, the Squire Toby, sits anchored in the harbor within sight of the window of the woman he once loved, still loves, and will always love. Sheridan, too, had once fervently believed in the miraculous power of love and healing, forgiveness, connection, and reconnection. But that faith died along with her son….
Unfolding among the Hubbard’s Point people and places that fans have come to treasure, and replete with feeling and mystery, Last Kiss weighs the power of the past to heal as well as wound, in a captivating tale of love, loss, and redemption that no reader will ever forget.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 《纽约时报》畅销书作者鲁安 莱斯这一次以康涅狄格的哈伯德一角为背景，以她最爱的沙滩女孩为主角，写了一个令人惊心动魄的故事。书中大家彼此亲近，却深藏秘密，一个女人重新构建她的世界，重新寻回她已消逝的爱情。
海报上的照片，新闻上的名字，预示着一段费解的悲剧。一个颇有前途的年轻人查理在一个夏夜晚上外出，却被人发现死了。没有任何动机。没有任何线索。没有任何答案。很多人看着报纸标题沉思，也许有些出于同情为他祈祷，然后继续自己的生活。但是，如果那个年轻人是你的儿子，你的爱人呢？
在查理死了的一年之后，创作歌手谢里丹·罗仕拿却写不出一首曲子。她在她海边的住所独自养着孩子，终日回想着与查理的往昔，郁郁寡欢。就连她亲爱的姐姐，挚友史蒂芬·摩尔，甚至是把她当做女儿的尼尔·科尔维特都爱莫能助。尼尔便下定决心找出真相。尼尔想到了谢里丹的前男友盖文·道森，并向他查明真相。而却望不了那心爱的女人，把自己的船停在能看见她的地方。谢里丹曾经也不渝地相信爱情，心痛的愈合，原谅，亲情。但是信任随着她儿子的降临慢慢死去……在描写了哈伯德当地的居民和众多粉丝趋之若鹜的景点的同时，《最后的吻》用一个爱情，毁灭，赎罪交加的故事测量回忆对众生的影响。(ZSW)
