UNBROKEN TRUST: THE FORBIDDEN GOODBYE OF A HUSBAND’S SUICIDE

Book ID/图书代码： 12290012B53702

English Summary/英文概要： In 2005, Jill Anderson went on trial at Leeds Crown Court for the manslaughter of her husband of eight years. Paul, a 43-year-old linguist, had been suffering for several years from the debilitating effects of ME and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome with complications, and had previously attempted suicide. But one day, while Jill was out of the house, he took enough pills to ensure his own death. When she returned home Paul told Jill he had ’taken enough this time’ and begged her not to get assistance. She honoured her beloved partner’s wishes and, although consumed by grief, allowed him to slip slowly away. Then the full weight of the law came down upon her. She was interrogated by Harrogate Police, had her passport taken away, and faced up to 15 years in jail. Her story was followed by the nation’s media and, although too unwell to take the stand at her trial, she was acquitted by a unanimous not guilty verdict. This is Jill’s powerfully and elegantly written full story of the most intense emotional journey. Stark police interview transcripts sit alongside the love story of Jill and Paul’s early, happy years before they faced the desperation of living with a medical issue with no known cure. This astonishingly honest book leaves the reader asking: ’What would I have done in her situation?’ It is an unforgettable and deeply moving account of love in extremis.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 2005年，Jill Anderson由于对其丈夫的误杀而在利兹刑事法庭被判刑8年。Paul，一个43岁的语言学家，多年来一直忍受抑郁症和慢性疲劳综合征的并发症的影响，之前甚至尝试过自杀。于是有一天，当Jill离开家时，他拿了足够的能使他致死的药。当Jill回家后，Paul告诉她说他以经受够了这种生活并请求她不要叫任何帮助。她尊重了她心爱的人的心愿，尽管忍受了巨大的痛苦，但她还是允许他慢慢的离开了。于是法律的惩罚就重重的压在了她的身上。他被Harrogate警察审问，护照也被没收了，并要在监狱里度过15年。她的故事被媒体多跟踪，尽管让她接受审判似乎并不太好，她被一致通过宣告无罪。这就是Jill强有力并优雅描写的最强烈的情感之旅的书。完全的警察询问记录与Jill和Paul在面对医疗问题没有已知的治疗与生活的绝望之前他们早期、快乐的爱情故事放在一起。这本令人惊讶的诚实的书留给了读者一个疑问：“如果站在她的立场上我会怎么做？”这是一段在极端情况下不能忘却并感人至深的爱情。(LNL)
