HAVE YOU SEEN MARIE?
Book ID/图书代码： 12560511B46696
English Summary/英文概要： The internationally acclaimed author of The House on Mango Street gives us a deeply moving tale of loss, grief, and healing: a lyrically told, richly illustrated fable for grown-ups about a woman’s search for a cat who goes missing in the wake of her mother’s death.
The word “orphan” might not seem to apply to a fifty-three-year-old woman. Yet this is exactly how Sandra feels as she finds herself motherless, alone like “a glove left behind at the bus station.” What just might save her is her search for someone else gone missing: Marie, the black-and-white cat of her friend, Roz, who ran off the day they arrived from Tacoma. As Sandra and Roz scour the streets of San Antonio, posting flyers and asking everywhere, “Have you seen Marie?” the pursuit of this one small creature takes on unexpected urgency and meaning. With full-color illustrations that bring this transformative quest to vivid life, Have You Seen Marie? showcases a beloved author’s storytelling magic, in a tale that reminds us how love, even when it goes astray, does not stay lost forever.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 《芒果街上的房子The House on Mango Street》的作者、国际知名作家为我们讲述了一个关于迷失、悲痛和治愈，感人肺腑的故事：作者借用诗意般的语言、丰富的插图为成人讲述了这样一个寓言故事——一位妇女在母亲去世后开始寻找一只失踪的猫。 “孤儿”一词对于53岁的暮年妇女来说也许并不合适。但是，当桑德拉发现自己没有母亲时，这个词极其准确地道出了她的心情，她觉得自己就像“被人丢在汽车站的一只手套”。可是一场搜寻活动拯救了她：她在找一只名为玛利亚的黑白相间的猫。这只猫是她的朋友罗兹的，在她们从塔科马港市搬来此地的当天失踪。
随着桑德拉和罗兹搜寻圣安东尼所有街道、四处张贴告示，向人打听“你见过玛利亚吗？”之际，对于一个小生物的搜寻蕴含了意想不到的急切心情和意味。本书采用全彩插图，使得这场搜寻充满真实的生命力。通过《你见过玛利亚吗》，受人钟爱的作家展示了其在讲故事方面所具有的魔力，在这样一个故事里告诉我们即使爱暂时走向迷失，绝不会永远消失。(XMM)
