AMBER HOUSE

Book ID/图书代码: 06840012B58277

English Summary/英文概要: "I was sixteen the first time my grandmother died. . . ."

Sarah Parsons has never seen Amber House, the grand Maryland estate that’s been in her family for three centuries. She’s never walked its hedge maze nor found its secret chambers; she’s never glimpsed the shades that haunt it, nor hunted for the lost diamonds in its walls.

But after her grandmother passes away, Sarah and her friend Jackson decide to search for the diamonds--and the House comes alive. She discovers that she can see visions of the House’s past, like the eighteenth-century sea captain who hid the jewels, or the glamorous great-grandmother driven mad by grief. Sarah grows closer to both Jackson and a young man named Richard Hathaway, whose family histories are each deeply entwined with her own. But when her ghostly visions start to threaten the person she holds most dear, Sarah must do everything she can to get to the bottom of the House’s secrets, and stop the course of history before it is cemented forever.

Chinese Summary/中文概要: “祖母去世那年,我还年仅16岁。。。。。。”

莎拉•帕森斯从未见过家族位于马里兰的那座长达三个世纪的庞大房产---琥珀之屋。她从未跨过那片树篱,踏入那片迷雾之中,也从未探访其神秘的密室;她甚至从未一瞥这座屋宅的色调,更不用说去寻觅墙间失落已久的宝石。

祖母去世后,莎拉和朋友杰克森决定踏上寻找宝石之旅--而这间屋宅也似乎就此变得鲜活起来。莎拉发现自己可以看到琥珀之屋过去的景象,她可以看见18世纪时藏匿宝石的船长,也能够见到在悲伤的打击下而逐渐丧失了理智的迷人祖母。渐渐地,莎拉和杰克森以及另一名年轻男子理查德•海瑟威的联系越来越紧密,而三人的家族似乎又深深地纠缠在一起。但是,当鬼魂们的影像开始使其最珍惜的人面临危险时,莎拉明白自己必须竭尽全力揭开这座屋宅背后的秘密,并在历史永远地定型前阻止这一切的发生。(DC)

Awards/获奖情况:《琥珀之屋》彻底的征服了我。它是迄今为止我所读过的最精彩,最恐怖,最哥特式的青年小说作品!而如今我更是欣喜的发现本书才是该系列三部曲中的开篇,这一消息真是太令人兴奋了!

莎拉•帕森和家人们正缅怀着刚刚离世的祖母。然而就在她踏入琥珀之屋的那一刻起,莎拉便开始看见各种影像,听到来自家族阴暗过去的种种回声。然而莎拉只不过还是一名再普通不过的少女,必须要应对分居的父母,面对略带自闭的哥哥,并照顾生活中的两个新增成员。很快莎拉便意识到,要想拯救未来,她必须尝试着去改变过去。。。。。。

虽然我并非很喜欢恐怖鬼故事,但我不得不说《琥珀之屋》的情节是如此的紧凑,虽然阅读之时我有点胆战心惊,却又不由得被其精彩的情节所深深吸引。书中有如此多的百转千回,人物形象的刻画又极为深刻,令我实在难以停止我阅读的步伐。结尾同样令人惊叹并且无可挑剔。本书优雅真实的写作风格使之终有一日必成经典。期待能够看到来自这名极具才华作者的更多优秀作品。

About the Author/作者介绍: 凯莉•摩尔多年前便曾构思并创作了《琥珀之屋》的开章,但直到多年后女儿塔克•里德和拉金•里德发现了这部作品的原稿并说服母亲与她们共同完成,这才使得这部小说成为了一部完整成熟的作品。塔克目前就读于洛杉矶南加利福尼亚大学,而拉金则是马里兰圣约翰学院的一名大一新生。母女三人目前居住在俄勒冈州杰克森威尔。

Kelly Moore wrote the beginnings of what would become AMBER HOUSE years ago, but it wasn’t until her daughters Tucker and Larkin Reed found the manuscript and convinced her to work on it with them that it became a full-fledged book. Tucker attends the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, while Larkin is a freshman at St. John’s College in Maryland. All three reside in historic Jacksonville, Oregon.
