APPLE TREE YARD (TITLE TO BE CONFIRMED)
Book ID/图书代码： 04560012B56956
English Summary/英文概要： A stunning thriller about a respected female scientist and the single reckless decision that leads to her standing trial for murder.
’Safety and security are commodities you can sell in return for excitement, but you can never buy them back.’
Yvonne Carmichael is a geneticist, a scientist renowned in her field but one day, she makes the most irrational of decisions. While she is giving evidence to a Select Committee at the Houses of Parliament, she meets a man and has sex with him in the secluded Chapel in the Crypt beneath the Great Hall of Westminster. It’s the beginning of a reckless liaison, but there is more to her lover than is at first apparent - as Yvonne discovers when the affair spins out of control and leads inexorably to violence.
Apple Tree Yard is about a woman who makes one rash choice that ends up putting her on trial at the Old Bailey for the most serious of crimes. Like the highly acclaimed Whatever You Love, it is part literary investigation of personal morality, part psychological thriller. Both a courtroom drama and an exploration of the values we live by, it is the gripping seventh novel from an author who has been acclaimed as a ’courageous writer, willing to explore deeper territory with each book’ (Independent) and ’terrifically compelling’ (Daily Mail)

“你可以出售安全来换取刺激，但你永远也不可能再买回它们。”
伊冯娜•卡迈克尔是一位遗传学家，在她的领域她是一位著名的科学家，但是有一天，她做了一个最不理性的决定。当她给国会大厦的专责委员会提供证据时遇见了一个男人，并与他在威斯敏斯特教堂偏僻的地下室里发生了性关系。这是不计后果的联络的开始，但是她的情人比第一眼所见时有更多隐藏的东西，当伊冯娜发现这一事实时，恋情已经失去控制了并不可避免的发生了暴力。
《院子里的苹果树》是一部讲述一个女人的书，她做了一个轻率的选择，并最终将她以最严重的罪行送进了老贝利街的中央刑事法庭。此书得到了《不管你爱什么》一样的高度赞誉，它部分是对人性道德的文学研究，部分是心理惊悚片。它不仅是一部法庭剧，同时也探索了我们生活中的价值观。它的作者被独立日报誉为“勇敢的，愿意去探索更深层次的领域的作家”，被每日邮报赞赏为“异常引人注目的作家”，这是她的第七本书。(LNL)

’There can’t be a woman alive who hasn’t once realised, in a moment of panic, that she’s in the wrong place at the wrong time with the wrong man. Louise Doughty, more sure-footed with each novel, leads her unnerved reader into dark territory. A compelling and bravely written book.’ --Hilary Mantel
’Read until 2am to finish it. Once you start, you just have to keep reading to find out.’ --Emma Brockes
