HEART-SHAPED BRUISE
Book ID/图书代码: 06140512B51637
English Summary/英文概要: I think of all the things I could have been... a music student, in love, happy.
But then Juliet stabbed my father and shattered everything I thought I knew about myself.
She turned me into someone else, into this hard, angry, miserable girl who did the most terrible things. Things that make people take a step back when I walk into a room.
That’s what hurts... that you all think you know who I am. But the one thing Google will never tell you is who I used to be... who I might have become.
But I can tell you. So here we go - I’ll be me and you be the stranger on the bus.
Chinese Summary/中文概要: Emily Koll:“我想我本可以成為其他任何一個人,比如一個音樂系的學生,談著戀愛,快樂幸福。但Juliet捅了我父親一刀,毀了我的世界,也毀了我對自己的認識。她把我變成一個可怕的人,一個不擇手段,憤怒、倔強、可憐的女孩。當我走進別人,他們都會因恐懼而倒退。你們都一位我本來就是這樣一個兇殘的人,但穀歌永遠無法告訴你我原本是怎樣一個人,我原本可以成為怎樣一個人,這種傷痛無人能體會。”
這是《心型傷》主角之一Emily的內心獨白,她因對Juliet實施的報復行為,被送進造在拱門上的青少年罪犯管教所精神病單元。小說以Emily給Juliet的一封信開始,她說:“Juliet,瓷器店的規則是,你打碎一個瓷器,你就要賠!現在,你打碎了我的世界,你就要得到報應!”這本心理驚悚小說以倒敘的方式慢慢解開Emily的所做所為,她爲什麽怎麼做,以及她反抗管教所中精神病醫生Gilyard醫生的奴役治療。青少年犯罪,心理的痛苦,驚悚還夾雜著Emily、Sid和Juliet三個人之間的愛戀糾纏。

“《心型傷》情節發展快速,通俗,準確地抓住了Emily身心被困后,引發幽閉恐懼癥的心理。她在日記中寫道‘我的生活是一首歌,放了一遍又一遍,一遍又一遍。’”

——畅销犯罪小说作家,苏菲•汉娜
評委評語:這本書雖被定為青少年小說,但其讀者群很廣。Byrne很完美地傳達了17歲Emily內心的負罪感,自我定位和復仇之心。

About the Author/作者介绍: Tanya Byrne was born in London and studied in Surrey, where she still lives with her cat who goes by several names, none of which he actually answers to. After eight years working for BBC Radio, she left to write her debut novel, Heart-Shaped Bruise. She has a weakness for boys with guitars, drinks far too much tea and even though her mother tells her not to, she always talks to strangers.
