THE GOOD FATHER

Book ID/图书代码： 07861208B25453

English Summary/英文概要： When Peter Wright’s father dies he leaves his entire fortune to Peter’s best friend Jack. Over a few weeks in the summer of 1959 the consequences of the old man’s legacy seriously impact on three lives:
Jack, who has brought up his three children alone since his wife was killed
Wright’s solicitor Harry, who is trying to rebuild his relationship with his estranged son
And Peter himself, whose friendship with Jack is threatened by his father’s death and the terrible secrets he has kept since his return from the Japanese POW camps
The Good Father explores the nature of parenthood and the bonds between fathers and their children in a gripping story of love, betrayal and adultery.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： Wright家族的一筆遺產深深影響3個人的命運

Jack自從妻子死去後，獨自一人默默撫養3個小孩。

Harry是Wright家族的律師，正試圖重新建立與他分居孩子心目中的地位和親情。

Peter Wright的父親正是這筆遺產的捐贈者，而他居然沒得到父親遺留的任何一毛錢，反而所有遺產全都歸他好友Jack名下，兩人的友情因此漸漸疏遠。而其實Peter背後隱藏了一個極大的秘密，或許也是他沒得到父親信任的原因。
