I SEE YOU EVERYWHERE
Book ID/图书代码: 02330008B25973
English Summary/英文概要: From the author of the best-selling Three Junes comes an intimate new work of fiction: a tale of two sisters, together and apart, told in their alternating voices over twenty-five years. Louisa Jardine is the older one, the conscientious student, precise and careful: the one who yearns for a good marriage, an artistic career, a family. Clem, the archetypal youngest, is the rebel: uncontainable, iconoclastic, committed to her work but not to the men who fall for her daring nature. Louisa resents that the charismatic Clem has always been the favorite; yet as Clem puts it, “On the other side of the fence–mine–every expectation you fulfill . . . puts you one stop closer to that Grand Canyon rim from which you could one day rule the world–or plummet in very grand style.”
In this vivid, heartrending story of what we can and cannot do for those we love, the sisters grow closer as they move farther apart. Louis settles in New York while Clem, a wildlife biologist, moves restlessly about until she lands in the Rocky Mountains. Their complex bond, Louisa observes, is “like a double helix, two souls coiling around a common axis, joined yet never touching.”
Alive with all the sensual detail and riveting characterization that mark Glass’s previous work, I See You Everywhere is a piercingly candid story of life and death, companionship and sorrow, and the nature of sisterhood itself.
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 美國國家圖書獎得主Julia Glass繼《三個六月天》Three Junes後,推出第三部平靜又充滿爆發力的家庭故事I See You Everywhere,故事圍繞在兩位截然不同的姊妹:Louisa比Clem年長四歲,身高卻比妹妹矮四吋之多,而且彼此對事物的看法卻四十年的差距。姊姊是個善良保守的哈佛學生,渴望婚姻生活、穩定的工作及自己的家庭,妹妹則是標準的新新人類,叛逆不受拘束,對她而言愛情裡沒有忠貞。在這看似血溶於血的親情關係中,卻有最遙遠的距離,兩人就像同心軸的齒輪,環繞在同一軸心上,彼此往卻相反的方向轉去…(VL)
