TALLULAHLAND
Book ID/图书代码: 03890011B49219
English Summary/英文概要: Welcome to Tallulahland. Population: Growing.
Tallulah West thinks she’s got everything figured out, from her interrupted career path to the men in her life. (Career path = anything to displease Dad. Nick = trusty best friend. Dad = see career path.) But when her world is turned upside down (again), not everyone acts accordingly and nothing goes as planned.
Once upon a time Tallulah was happy to follow in her father’s footsteps. But then her mom died. Now she’d rather toil away for a hack designer than work on her own designs and lay claim to all that comes with being the only daughter of furniture-designing royalty. Which is a shame -- because Tallulah has so much talent.
Nick knows the truth -- that she’s a little too good at making bad decisions -- and has no qualms about interfering in her life. But only after she finds the deed to a plot of land in North Carolina, an unexpected final gift from her mother, is she propelled into action. Accompanied by Nick and an excitement she hasn’t felt in years, Tallulah heads south. She’s following her mother’s dream, but somewhere in the underbrush of an undeveloped plot of land, she finds her own.
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 欢迎来到塔鲁拉地(Tallulahland)。人口:增长中。
塔鲁拉·韦斯特(Tallulah West)觉得自己很清楚遭遇的一切,不论她被打断的仕途,还是她生命中的男人(仕途:老爸不开心的根源;尼克:值得信赖的挚友;老爸:见仕途)。但当她的世界再次被搞得天翻地覆后,一切都朝着偏离了她原本计划的方向发展了。
曾几何时,塔鲁拉也还是个开心的姑娘,天天跟在父亲身后蹦蹦跳跳,而一切都在母亲死后改变了。如今的她宁可每日辛苦的作为一名影子设计师而工作,也不愿展露自己真正的设计才华,那使她永远只会活在家具设计之神的父亲的影子下。塔鲁拉过人的才华竟是她最大的讽刺。
只有尼克(Nick)知道真实的塔鲁拉---她太擅长于做出错误的决定了---也从来不会为生活遭到打乱而担忧。塔鲁拉本将碌碌无为度过一生,直到她收到已逝的母亲留给她的最后一份礼物---一块南卡罗莱纳的土地,塔鲁拉终于重新找到了生活的目标。尼克陪着她踏上南下之旅,一路上,塔鲁拉感到一种失散多年的激动冲荡心间,她正奔赴母亲曾经的梦想之地,在那片从未被开垦过的土地上,在树林里,塔鲁拉将更加贴近自己的灵魂。(DC & CK)
