LIFE IN MINIATURE
Book ID/图书代码: 14780010B41607
English Summary/英文概要: From a powerful new voice in fiction comes a compelling debut about the delicate bond between daughters and mothers, and about leaving everything you know in order to find the place where you belong.
Adie has always known she was different. There’s her size, for one thing. Born three months premature, Adie is the smallest of her peers. Then there’s Adie’s mother, who at first glance seems like so many other 1980s moms—clipping coupons and attending Feel the Burn aerobics classes. But beneath the surface is something erratic and unpredictable, something that makes her drag Adie and her older sister, Miriam, from one rental apartment to the next—until Miriam runs away.
Adie is left behind with her mother, who is convinced their lives are in real danger and takes Adie on a crazy run across northern California. Now Adie faces a stark choice: submit to this increasingly surreal adventure, or grow up in ways she never imagined…
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 来自小说中一个强大的新声音,一个关于母亲与女儿之间微妙的纽带关系以及为了寻找属于你的地方而留给你所知一切的辩论非常引人注目。
阿迪一直知道自己的与众不同。她的个头是一件事情。早产了三个月,阿迪是同龄人中长的最小的。此外,还有阿迪的母亲,乍一看像许多20世纪80年代的妈妈们一样——剪剪优惠券,参加燃烧脂肪健美操班。但平静的表面下涌动着不稳定和不可预测,有时候折磨着拖阿迪和她的姐姐米莱姆,从一间出租屋到另一间——直到米莱姆逃跑。
阿迪留下来和她的母亲一起。母亲相信她们生活在真正的危险中,因此带着阿迪疯狂地向加利福尼亚洲北部逃跑。现在阿迪面临着严峻的抉择:面对越来越离奇的冒险,或是在她未曾想象过的环境中成长。(兼职翻译-JDM)
