SUMMER IN THE SOUTH: A NOVEL
Book ID/图书代码： 01240011B45841
English Summary/英文概要： Cathy Holton, author of the popular Beach Trip, returns with an intriguing and mysterious tale of dark deeds and family secrets in a small Southern town.
After a personal tragedy, Chicago writer Ava Dabrowski quits her job to spend the summer in Woodburn, Tennessee, at the invitation of her old college friend Will Fraser and his two great-aunts, Josephine and Fanny Woodburn. Her charming hosts offer Ava a chance to relax at their idyllic ancestral estate, Woodburn Hall, while working on her first novel.
But Woodburn is anything but quiet: Ancient feuds lurk just beneath its placid surface, and modern-day rivalries emerge as Ava finds herself caught between the competing attentions of Will and his black-sheep cousin Jake. Fascinated by the family’s impressive history—their imposing house filled with treasures, and their mingling with literary lions Fitzgerald, Hemingway, and Faulkner—Ava stumbles onto rumors about the darker side of the Woodburns’ legacy. Putting aside her planned novel, she turns her creative attentions to the eccentric and tragic clan, a family with more skeletons (and ghosts) in their closets than anyone could possibly imagine. As Ava struggles to write the true story of the Woodburns, she finds herself tangled in the tragic history of a mysterious Southern family whose secrets mirror her own.

在一个个人惨案之后，在大学老同学Will Fraser和两个奶奶辈的亲戚Josephine and Fanny Woodburn的邀请下，芝加哥作家Ava Dabrowski放弃了她的工作决定到田纳西州，伍德本去度假。迷人的户主为Ava提供了一个祖传的田园般的房屋：伍德厅，让她可以轻松的撰写她的第一部小说。
伍德本没有什么特别，只是很平静：可古老的纷争就掩藏在这平静的表面之下，随着Ava发现自己卷入了Will 和他的败家子堂兄弟Jake的矛盾中，竞争也慢慢浮现。沉醉于这个家族令人难忘的历史——他们壮观的建筑里充满着财宝，以及他们和文学巨匠Fitzgerald, Hemingway和 Faulkner的关系。Ava无意中陷入了伍德本遗产隐晦面的谣言中。抛开她计划的小说中,她把她的创造性的目光投向了一个不公开的流言蜚语和传说比任何人能想象得到的更多的古怪但悲惨的家族。当Ava正努力地撰写一个关于伍德本的真实故事的时候，她发现自己缠结着的神秘的南方家庭的悲惨历史也反映出了自己的人生。(LNL)
