ONE LEAP OF THE HEART

Book ID/图书代码： 12691012B58643

English Summary/英文概要： On a Tuesday in March Fern and Elliott meet unexpectedly at Paddington Station after a separation of twenty-five years. Seemingly settled with the choices they’ve made, meeting one another again shocks them both; it catapults them back to the past and causes them to examine the lives they live now more closely. As the day progresses, their ‘What if?’ question raises its head and looks them both squarely in the eyes. What if the moment twenty-five years before when Fern confronted Elliott about his infidelity had had a different outcome? How would their lives have worked out instead?

Their day is thrown off course and, when it draws to a close and Elliott walks into the bar where Fern is waiting for him, the reader is presented with three possible ways for it to end.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 在三月的一个星期二，分离了25年的芬和艾略特在帕丁顿车站不期而遇。多年前，两人做出各自的选择而后分离，这次的意外重逢给看似安定下来的两人同样带来了不小的震撼；他们仿若回到了过去，他们开始再度审视目前各自的生活。随着重逢的日子一天天过去，充满了假设的“如果”问题也一再的浮出水面，逼着他们去直视面对。如果25年前，当芬对艾略特坦白自己的不忠时，两人是另一种反应，那么时至今日，他们的生活又会是怎样？

过去早已一去不复返，然而当尾声逼近，当艾略特走进了那家芬正等待着她的酒吧，读者们将会发现，呈现在他们面前的将可能是另外三种不同的结局。（DC）
