LIFE: AN EXPLODED DIAGRAM

Book ID/图书代码: 06580110B42877

English Summary/英文概要: This is a brilliant coming-of-age story set against the backdrop of the Cold War and events leading up to the Cuban Missile Crisis. Clem Ackroyd lives with his parents and grandmother in a claustrophobic home too small to accommodate their larger-than-life characters in the bleak Norlfolk countryside. Clem’s life changes irrevocably when he meets Frankie, the daughter of a wealthy farmer, and experiences first love, in all its pain and glory. The story is told in flashback by Clem when he is living and working in New York City as a designer, and moves from the past of his parents and grandmother to his own teenage years. Not only the threat of explosions, but actual ones as well, feature throughout in this latest novel from one of the finest writers working today.

Chinese Summary/中文概要: 卡內基兒童文學獎得主:瑪律•皮特

Clem Ackroyd(克萊姆•艾克洛德)和他的雙親以及身患幽閉恐怖症的祖母擠在一起,因為地方太小,以致於在寒冷的Norlfolk(諾福克)鄉下只夠容納他們這樣的傳奇式人物,當克萊姆遇見了Frankie(弗蘭基),一個富有的農場主女兒,他的人生發生了天翻地覆的改變,初次的戀愛經歷,充滿著痛苦和狂喜。這個故事是通過克萊姆的倒敘而成,當時他作為一位設計師正在紐約工作生活,在自己還是十幾歲時便動身離開了雙親和祖母。由當今最優秀的作家所著的這部最新小說的人物特寫,折射出主人公不僅是因為害怕受到核爆炸的威脅,而是他同樣是一個實際現實的人。(Sandy)
