WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN ME
Book ID/图书代码： 06140512B54645
English Summary/英文概要： Suzanne expected me to come home but my life was here in New York. Almost eleven years with Eddie - eleven years of working, watching movies, making love, doing laundry, going to yoga. These things made up a life, didn’t they? And if they didn’t, then what did?
While Carla Matthew’s friends went back to college in Ireland at the end of the summer, she decided to stay in New York. She’d fallen in love - with her musician boyfriend Eddie, with the city. In New York she could write, go to the best universities, become the person she wanted to be. Someone she couldn’t be in her old life in Dublin, with her mother, her sister and the memories of her father’s death.
But then, out of the blue, she receives a phone call from home with some devastating news. Now Carla has to choose between her life in New York and her life back home in Dublin.
As she grapples with some difficult decisions, she begins to understand that her reasons for staying in New York may not have been quite so simple as she thought.
And that, while distance and time might let you become someone else, it takes love to come home to yourself.
What Might Have Been Me is a novel about love and loss. It’s a story about courage and responsibility - to our family, to the people we love, but most of all to ourselves, to become the person only we know we can be.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 苏珊娜希望我能回家，但是我已经习惯了纽约的一切。我和艾迪在一起的日子差不多有11年了，这11年来我的生活就是工作、看电影、做爱、做家务以及练瑜伽。这些事情构成了我的人生，难道不是吗？如果它们都不算是生活，那么它们又算什么呢？
卡拉.马修的朋友们在夏季快要结束的时候都重返爱尔兰的大学校园，她却决定留在纽约。因为她恋爱了—爱上了音乐家艾迪以及这个城市。在纽约她可以以写作为生，去最好的大学，还可以变成自己想要变成的样子。在都柏林的那些日子里，在母亲、妹妹以及父亲去世的影响下，她永远不能做真实自己。
但是，突如其来地，她接到从爱尔兰打来的电话，得知了毁灭性的消息。现在，卡拉必须在留在纽约与重返爱尔兰之间做出抉择。
在她疲于应付艰难抉择之际，她渐渐发现自己留在纽约的理由也许并没有自己想象的那么简单。此外，随着时间和距离让你变成另一个人的同时，它们也能让爱回到你身边。
《另一个我又如何》是一本关于爱与迷失的故事，同时也是一本阐述勇气与责任的故事—对我们的家庭，对我们所爱的人，但是更多的是对我们自己。它告诉我们如何变成只有我们自己知道的样子。(XMM)
