THE RELUCTANT ISLANDER

Book ID/图书代码： 05380012B54758

English Summary/英文概要： Shearwater Island, just off the West coast of England, is famed for its rugged beauty, its remoteness, its isolation. In the summer months, tourists arrive by the ferry load and leave smitten. But for those that live there, the winters can be long, lonely months. And for no one more so than Alice Fisher. Alice has lived on Shearwater her whole life and now, at 36, with her parents dead and the community dwindling, she is desperate for something to change her lonely existence. And to escape her past. For Shearwater is not just a rural idyll: it is a place of secrets and lies, and Alice has been haunted by memories of violence and murder her entire life.

Then she receives a letter from Patrick Fox, a successful novelist who fell for the charms of Shearwater Island during a summer trip. Back in London, he is suffering from writer’s block and convinced that a winter spent on lonely remote Shearwater Island is the only thing that will get his new book back on track.

然後她收到一封來自派翠克-福克斯的信，這位成功的小說家在夏季旅行期間，為希尔沃特島迷人的風景所傾倒。在倫敦，他正苦於新作的文思的枯竭，並深信如果能在遠離塵世的希爾沃特島上渡過漫長的冬季，是唯一一個可以讓他的新書重新步入正軌的出路。
於是他租住了愛麗絲破舊的農舍。這位充滿魅力，擁有才華的，使人感到迷惑的聆聽者，看上去似乎正要確保愛麗絲的生活將永遠不再重蹈覆轍。但是她能保護住自己生活的小世界和它的那些秘密嗎。或者，是否她想要得到的幸福生活會讓她付出可怕的代價？(Sandy)
