English Summary/英文概要： From the Whitbread-winning, Booker-shortlisted, bestselling author of Being Dead and Quarantine, comes the new novel by Jim Crace, Harvest.At the year’s harvest, for the first time, something is deeply wrong. Two plumes of smoke where there shouldn’t be fire, and strangers on the village borders. A man with a chart, mapping the common land. The old ways under threat.
Over the course of seven days, with affection, loneliness, humour and heartbreak, Walter Thirsk tells the story of his village: the story of a scattering, of a migration both mythic and intensely real, of a way of life now lost.
Alive with his love of landscape and language, this intensely beautiful novel sees Jim Crace at the height of his powers
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 伴随着夏末尾声的来临，宛如玉珠的成熟大麦也即将慢慢落穗，一个村庄在此丰收之际遇到了外来人意外闯入的威胁。三个局外人 — — 两个男人和一个极富魅力的危险女人 — — 到达林地边界，打起了临时营地。同日夜晚，当地的庄园便被放火焚烧。
经过七天，Walter Thirsk 目睹了他恢复后的村庄面貌：原本应该金灿的大麦收获场景被这场大火弄得四处弥漫着烟熏黑烟缭绕的可怕，这几个新来的外人受到了严厉的惩罚，而他的邻居因涉嫌鼓捣巫术而被当地村民活捉。但还有更为阴森可怕的东西在这个故事中，而作者将预留下唯一的一个幸存者来诉说这个故事的结尾…… (Sandy).
