THE ITALIANS AT CLEAT’S CORNER STORE (OLD TITLE: THE ONORATI)

Book ID/图书代码： 11980512B59502

English Summary/英文概要： The Italians at Cleat’s Corner Store is a heartwarming, vividly observed tale of small-town life, exploring love, prejudice and identity in the wake of World War II. It’s very wry and beautifully observed and should appeal to more commercial publishers.

It charts the growing friendship between Connie Farrington, a 17-year-old shop-assistant at Cleat’s Corner Store, and the immigrant Onorati brothers, recently arrived from Italy with their father, to work the farm where he was once a prisoner of war. As the story moves between the brothers’ life in their Italian village during World War II and the post-war British community of Leyton, it unveils the similarities between the two places. Life in one village mirrors the other, and hunting, gossip, religion and art are pivotal in both.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 《克里茨街角商店里的意大利人们》是一部温暖人心的生动故事，讲述了小镇生活，爱的探寻，以及第二次世界大战结束后人们的偏见与自我发现。全书幽默风趣，观察细致，相信对于更为商业化的出版商而言，将更具吸引力。一幅幅生动图景描绘出了康妮•法灵顿，克里茨街角商店里的一名17岁店员与新近移民意大利的奥罗拉帝兄弟间不断加深的友情。他们的父亲现在一家农场中工作，曾是一名战俘。随着故事的展开，本书对兄弟俩二战期间在意大利小村庄里的故事以及战后英国社区莱特湾进行了讲述，并揭开了这两个地点的不同之处。生活就是从一个小村庄中看到另一个小村庄，不论是寻觅、闲聊还是宗教艺术都是至关重要的组成部分。（DC）
