WHAT CAME BETWEEN

Book ID/图书代码： 11980508B30365

English Summary/英文概要： One street. Three couples. A world of possibilities.
In 1989 the Newcastle earthquake opens up faultlines in the relationships of three couples who reside in adjoining terraces, changing their lives irreparably. Each of those six people now has to rediscover ways to negotiate marriage and infidelity, careers and unemployment, friendship and loss. First they must learn how to survive each new day and then, a decade later — as the city’s major employer, the steelworks, shuts down — they will finally realise how to live as if each night were their last.
In this novel in stories, written in spare prose, telling details begin to accumulate as Patrick Cullen creates a compelling portrait of what it really means to live. In one street. One city. Any place on earth.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 一段街道，三对夫妻，一个希望的世界。
1989年，英国纽卡斯尔市的一场地震永久的改变了三对夫妇的生活。这六个人由此重新认识他们的婚姻和信仰，工作与失业，友谊和丧失。首先，他们必须学着继续生存下去，去迎接每一个明天，但十年后，当这个城市最大的雇主----钢厂倒闭后，他们又必须重新考虑，怎样去度过可能是生命中的最后一个夜晚。
故事以散文的笔触缓缓道来，帕特里克•卡伦细致的描述为我们呈现出一副关于生命真正意义的图画，它就发生在某一条街道，某个城市，甚至于地球上的任何一个地方。(zh)
