LOVE AND OTHER WARS

Book ID/图书代码： 12290013B61253

English Summary/英文概要： At a rally in the Royal Albert Hall, two Quaker brothers, Paul and Charlie Lamb, sign a pledge of peace that only one of them will honour. Meanwhile, in a draughty Victorian mansion in Hampstead, Mr. Morningstar wonders why his wife, a crystallographer from dynasty of diamond cutters, turns into a cursing somnambulist at night, while their daughter, Miriam, comes home from her shifts at the munitions factory with her stockings inside out. As the streets throng with khaki, the Lambs and the Morningstars must decide how to do good in a world transformed by evil. Should a scientist use her skills to maximise civilian casualties? Should a Quaker stand by as millions are murdered? And is it possible to love someone if you hate their convictions? When the two families are torn apart by war, Paul is forced to choose between his conscience and the woman he loves. Of Love and Other Wars is a profoundly moving tale of faith, longing, and decisions made in the split second of silence between bullets, whose repercussions last a lifetime. With distinctive flair and dazzling creative energy, Sophie Hardach pulls us into lives upended by betrayal, violence and passion.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 在皇家阿尔伯特音乐厅的一次集会上，两名贵格会兄弟保罗•莱姆和查理•莱姆签下了一张只有一人会信守的和平请愿书。与此同时，在汉普斯特德一处通透的维多利亚式建筑中，晨星先生正困惑不已，他不明白为何身为结晶学家并一直醉心于钻石切割的妻子一到夜晚便会变成一名亵渎神明的梦游者，而他们的女儿玛利亚姆则是从军工厂倒班回来时反穿着袜子。随着街道逐渐被士兵们所占领，莱姆兄弟和晨星先生不得不作出决定，以阻止邪恶势力对这个世界的改变。作为一名科学家，她难道就应该用自己的专业技能让市民的伤亡数量达到最大？作为一名贵格会成员，当千百万人被谋害时，难道就可以在一旁无动于衷？如果深恶痛绝某一信念，你还能继续深爱这一信念的坚守者吗？当战争使得这两个家庭支离破碎，保罗不得不在自己的良心和深爱的女子间做出选择。《有关爱和其他战争》是一部关于信念、渴望以及决定的深刻而动人的故事，在纷飞的战火间，它们烙下的是会持续一生的久远影响。苏菲•哈达克凭借其出众的天赋和炫目的创造力，将我们卷进一场场被背叛、暴力以及激情所颠覆的人生之中。（DC）
