English Summary/英文概要: From Yessenia, who dreams of her next boyfriend and of one day living outside those walls, to Teddy, an optimistic resident who dresses up daily in a full suit and tie, to Mia, who guards a terrifying secret, to Joanne, the new data-entry clerk who suddenly finds herself worrying about each and every kid, Nussbaums startling authenticity and bald humor draw you into an isolated human warehouse whose residents ultimately find the >strength to bond together, resist their mistreatment, and fight back. This is a moving, original, important, and entertaining novel, told in a multitude of intensely human voices, and I look forward to seeing it garner the same worldwide acclaim that our previous Bellwether publications have received.
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 从叶思尼娅,一名幻想着她的下一位男友以及有朝一日能够居住在城墙以外的女子;到泰迪,乐天派居民,总是日复一日的西装革履,穿戴整齐;再到保守有可怕秘密的米娅;以及新来的数据输入员乔安娜,近来她惊恐地发现自己突然开始担心起每一个孩子,纳斯邦前所未有的坦诚以及她大胆的幽默将将你引入一间与世隔绝的收容所,而其中的居民在历经一切后最终找寻到了紧密团结的力量,他们学会了抵制那些不公正的对待,并学会了反击。
这本感人,充满了原创性,重要性以及娱乐性的小说,通过许多讲述者为我们层层道来,我同样期待本书能同样获得世界范围内的褒奖与赞誉,正如之前贝尔威瑟曾获得的一片赞誉。(DC)
