BELINDA’S RINGS
Book ID/图书代码： 00110913B61196
English Summary/英文概要： Half-Asian teenager Grace (but she’d prefer it if you called her “Gray” instead) is not a perfect little supermom-in-the-making like her older sister Jessica, and would rather become a marine biologist than a mother—although she does understand how to take care of her special-needs kid brother Squid better than anyone else in her family. When her mother Belinda abruptly runs out on her family and flies across the Atlantic in order to study crop circles in the English countryside, Grace is left alone to puzzle out her life, the world, and her unique place within it.
With a warmth and a boisterous sense of humour reminiscent of Miriam Toews’ A Complicated Kindness and Peter Hedges’ What’s Eating Gilbert Grape? author Corinna Chong introduces us to two lovable and thoroughly original female characters: persnickety, precocious Grace, and her impractical, impulsive mother Belinda—very different women who nevertheless persistently circle back into each other’s hearts.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 有著一半亞洲血統的Grace並不是像她姐姐Jessica那樣的超級媽媽，她更想成為一位海洋生物學家。不過，她倒是很會照顧自己需要特殊照顧的弟弟Squid. 當她媽媽突然離開家，穿越大西洋到英國去研究麥田怪圈時，Grace只能一個人面對生活和世界中問題。
曾用溫暖熱情的幽默追述了“Miriam Toews’ A Complicated Kindness”和“Peter Hedges’ What’s Eating Gilbert Grape”作者Corinna Chong給我們介紹了兩個可愛有趣的人物：挑剔早熟的Grace和不切實際衝動的媽媽Belinda，兩個完全不同的女人，最終走進了對方的心裡。(Celia)
Awards/获奖情况：令人震驚的處女作，女孩勇敢、堅定。
《貝琳娜的環》是一本豐富的書，關於為人父母的秘密，為人父母的秘訣和做孩子的關鍵。有關精神疾病、人種和邊緣化。這是本有關大地、天空的光芒和海底生物的書，但最重要的是這是本關於如何為人父母的書，特別在這個缺少細微討論“母愛”的環境中。——Reading in bed
