FAMOUS LAST WORDS
Book ID/图书代码: 10010010B36439
English Summary/英文概要: Lucy spends her days beavering away at her sewing machine, making divine, flamboyant clothes that express all the passion and flair that she cannot, and at night she sits alone with her latest creations, fretting over her struggling business. Her life is one of unfulfilled ambitions and missed opportunities.
Then one evening Lucy meets the beautiful, fey and enigmatic Micah, who has an uncanny knack for foretelling fortunes, and manages to convince even the cynical Lucy. So when Micah tells her that her future isn’t looking too rosy - in fact she doesn’t have one - Lucy embarks on a spree of ’what the hell and why not’. She faces her demons, confronts those that have annoyed her, and takes risks for the first time in her life, convinced that the accident he predicts will befall her.
When the day of her prophesied demise comes - and goes - Lucy storms round to challenge Micah, who sheepishly admits he must have got it wrong this time. The appalled and angry Lucy has a hell of a mess to put right now, and demands that Micah help her do some damage control.
So begins an edge-of-the-seat, race-against-time to repair Lucy’s reckless actions. But halfway through Lucy asks herself if everything is worth mending? Has she inadvertently improved her life just as she thought it was about to end? And why is Micah so reluctant to help her untangle her biggest gaffe of all?
A woman with nothing to lose has everything to gain...

随后,一天晚上,Lucy遇到了美丽且神秘的 Micah,他拥有不可思议的预言未来能力,并设法说服甚至是有些愤世嫉俗的Lucy。因此,当Micah告诉她,她的未来不是十分乐观的时候——事实上并不是 - Lucy疯狂地呐喊“这到底怎么回事,为什么不能”。她面对着自己内心的魔鬼,面对那些对她厌烦的人们,她平生第一次作出了冒险,说服自己接受即将降临到自己头上的灾难。
当她被预言死亡的那一天到来 - 并且成真的时候 - Lucy疯狂地盘问Micah,他只得不好羞愧地承认,这一次是他搞错了。Lucy感到震惊和愤怒的是,她现在不得不把一个烂摊子处理好,并请求Micah帮她解除一些磨难。
