A PERFECT HOME
Book ID/图书代码： 12691012B55398
English Summary/英文概要： On the face of it, Claire and William have a perfect marriage and family. They also have an impeccably restored cottage in the country that looks like it belongs in a magazine. It will be in a magazine, in fact: Idyllic Home plans to feature the house in its Christmas issue. But to meet its deadline, it‘s scheduling the photo shoot in two days—in the middle of a heat wave in July.
The publicity would help Claire’s growing vintage textile business—and at first William likes the idea of showing off the results of all his renovations. But soon he’s complaining that the photo shoot is disrupting his plans to build a summer house in the garden. Sometimes, Claire thinks, William loves the house more than he loves her.
Then Stefan, the photographer, shows up. He’s eager to get started. He’s also unsettlingly attractive, and just mysterious enough to make Claire feel a bit off-balance.
Claire is beginning to see how her ideal life may not be so idyllic after all—and that creating the perfect house isn’t always the best way to create a happy home.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 表面上Claire和William婚姻美滿，家庭幸福。他們還在農村有一間美麗的農舍，就像雜誌上展出的那種農舍。事實上，正有雜誌要去拍攝他們的農舍。炙熱七月，《Idyllic Home》（《田園家園》）的拍攝組要在兩天內將他們的農舍拍攝完，才能趕上耶誕節的專題。
能在雜誌上展示農舍，能幫助Claire的復古紡織品生意。William呢，剛開始還很贊成這個主意，因為這能秀一下他的裝修技藝，但不久他就開始抱怨，整個拍攝過程會打亂他整修夏日農舍的計畫。有時，Claire覺得相比於自己，William更愛他的農舍。
隨後，攝影師Stefan出現了，他帥氣，吸引人，讓Claire感到像是掉了魂。
Claire慢慢發覺，她的田園生活似乎沒那麼浪漫，而幸福生活也不一定需要一間完美的屋子。
