THE SWEET SECOND LIFE OF DARRELL KINCAID
Book ID/图书代码： 12100010B42493
English Summary/英文概要： No one knows ’happy endings’ like romance novelist Darrell Kincaid. She’s delivered eight of them to her readers with pleasure. But it’s not to be with book number nine.
In the act of adding the final full stop, Darrell has a revelation: it’s not the ending that really matters but what comes next. Darrell now sees that when her husband Tom died (twenty-one months and three days ago, but who’s counting?) she lost more than the man she loved. She lost her own ’happy ever after’. The life she expected to live has gone, vanished forever in a puff of fickle, unfair smoke.
Darrell knows she has a choice. She can stay in New Zealand and live a half-life, or she can leave in search of something - perhaps someone - else. So Darrell decides upon London, the least romantic capital she knows (why set yourself up for disappointment?). Armed with Nancy Mitford’s Love In A Cold Climate as her guide to proper Englishness and the ideal romantic hero, she sets out to live the sweet second life she deserves.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 没有知道浪漫小说家达瑞尔•基凯德（Darrell Kincaid）的幸福结局是什么。她的八本小说本本都让读者雀跃。但是这第九部作品会有一丝变化。 在划下最后一个句点的时候，达瑞尔作了一个解释：结局不是最重要的，后续才是重点。达瑞尔的丈夫死了21个月零三天，这些日子让她明白她失去的不仅仅是一个深爱自己的男人，还有她自己的幸福结局，她曾经向往的幸福生活，转眼化为湮灭。
达瑞尔明白选择就在自己手中。她可以继续留在新西兰，过丧偶的生活；或者她可以离开寻找新生活或者可以说，新对象。所以她决定去伦敦，一个她认为最不会有浪漫邂逅的地方。（为什么要让自己失望呢？）不管怎么样，这是她的第二人生。(兼职翻译-XJJ)

About the Author/作者介绍： 凯瑟琳•罗伯森(CATHERINE ROBERTSON)，1966年3月7日，出生于威灵顿救世军。其实她母亲不算未婚生子，所以她也不是很确定为何会把孩子生在那儿。后来她念了威灵顿女校（凯瑟琳•曼斯菲尔德也一样）以及维多利亚大学（大学开始两人开始有不同发展，凯瑟琳英年早逝，她混了个英语文学学位，不再对写作有任何兴致）。她嫁给了大卫（David），育有2子。两人自1993年以来一直在一起工作生活。他们卖掉第一笔生意以后很冲动的在圣弗朗西斯科建立了一个网站，然后飞去英国一段时间。目前专职市场生意。凯瑟琳是个出色的厨师兼园艺师，而且涉猎广泛。她的第一部小说就是在业余时间完成的。更多详情，请参见其官网：www.catherinerobertson.net。 CATHERINE ROBERTSON was born in Wellington, March 7, 1966, in a Salvation Army home for unwed mothers. Her mother was not, in fact, unwed, so she’s not entirely sure of the rationale behind this. She went to Wellington Girls (as did Katherine Mansfield) and Victoria University (here our paths diverged; Katherine went off to die young, and she gained a so-so degree in English literature, and did absolutely no creative writing). She’s married to David, and they have two boys: Finn (14, Leif Garret hair, leather jacket, electric guitar) and Callum (19, Fine Arts student, plays soccer, creates graphic novels). They have worked together since 1993, and are still married. They sold their first business to set up a dot.com in San Francisco (sheer madness), and escaped briefly to England before coming back to Wellington and their house by the sea. They now own and run a marketing business. CATHERINE ROBERTSON teaches budding entrepreneurs through Grow Wellington’s ’Activate’ programme, and she contributes to the DominionPost weekend magazines. She’s a moderately competent cook and gardener, and she reads compulsively. Her first novel, ’The Sweet Second Life of Darrell Kincaid’ was written in what would otherwise have been her spare time.
