Book ID/图书代码: 10000011B47868

English Summary/英文概要: What would you sacrifice for someone you’ve loved forever - told in seven parts and spanning ten centuries, a cleverly constructed, beautifully crafted love story with elements of thriller and the supernatural.

Have you ever had the feeling that you’ve lived another life? Been somewhere that has felt totally familiar, even though you’ve never been there before, or felt that you know someone well, even though you are meeting them for the first time? It happens. In 2073 on the remote and secretive island of Blessed, where rumour has it that no one ages and no children are born, a visiting journalist, Eric Seven, and a young local woman known as Merle are ritually slain. Their deaths echo a moment ten centuries before, when, in the dark of the moon, a king was slain, tragically torn from his queen. Their souls search to be reunited, and as mother and son, artist and child, forbidden lovers, victims of a vampire they come close to finding what they’ve lost.
In a novel comprising seven parts, each influenced by a moon - the flower moon, the harvest moon, the hunter’s moon, the blood moon - this is the story of Eric and Merle whose souls have been searching for each other since their untimely parting. Beautifully imagined, intricately and cleverly structured, this is a heart-wrenching and breathtaking love story with the hallmark Sedgwick gothic touches of atmosphere, blood-spilling and sacrifice.

Chinese Summary/中文概要: 你会为你深爱的人牺牲多少?这个凄美的爱情故事分7个篇章叙述,跨越10个世纪,且包含惊悚元素与超自然力量。

你是否有过这种感觉,你过着另一种生活?即使你从来没有去过一个地方,你也会觉得很熟悉;又或者你第一次见到某人,却觉得与他似曾相识?这的确是会发生的。2073年,在一个偏远神秘的岛上有一个传说,这里没有人老去,也没有婴儿出生。一个到访的记者Eric Seven和当地一个叫Merle的年轻女子遭谋杀。他们的死让人们回想起十个世纪以前,在一个月黑风高的晚上,一位国王也惨死而与他的皇后分离。他们的灵魂都在寻求团聚,还有母亲和儿子,艺术家与儿童,被分隔的恋人以及吸血鬼的受害者们,他们也来寻找遗失的东西。

小说由7个部分组成,每一个篇章都代表一个月亮,花月,丰收月,猎人之月,以及血月——这便是Eric和Merle被分离后互相寻找彼此灵魂的故事。美丽的想象,错综复杂且巧妙的构思使这个有着Sedgwick典型风格的故事令人心碎,扣人心弦,讲述了有关流血和牺牲的凄美爱情故事。(XAT)
