WHAT WE’VE LOST IS NOTHING: A NOVEL
Book ID/图书代码： 03890013B62666
English Summary/英文概要： From an NPR contributor and investigative journalist, a striking debut novel that chronicles the first twenty-four hours after a mass burglary in a suburban Chicago neighborhood and the suspicions, secrets, and prejudices that surface in its wake.
Nestled on the edge of Chicago’s gritty west side, Oak Park is a suburb in flux. To the east, theaters and shops frame posh homes and buildings designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. To the west lies a neighborhood still reeling from urban decline. Although the community’s Diversity Assurance program has curbed Chicago’s destructive racial housing practices over the past few decades, cultural integration has been tenuous at best.
In the center of the community sits Ilios Lane, a pristine cul-de-sac dotted with quiet homes that bridge Oak Park’s extremes of wealth and poverty. On the first warm day in April, as Mary Elizabeth McPherson, a lifelong resident of Ilios Lane plays hooky from high school, a series of home invasions rock her neighborhood. Thrust into an uneasy alliance with the neighbors around them, the residents of Ilios Lane must take stock of the world they believed they lived in—and the world many of them were attempting to create.
Incisive and panoramic, What We’ve Lost Is Nothing weaves together an impressive cast of characters, whose lives collide in the wake of disaster. In this powerful fiction debut, Rachel Louise Snyder sheds light on the gray area where ideals confront reality.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 作者是美国国家公共电台的调查记者，这是一本惊人的处女作，记录了芝加哥郊区附近一起大规模入室盗窃案后的第一个24小时，以及暴露出来的怀疑，秘密和偏见。
橡树园坐落在芝加哥多砂的西部边缘，是一个不稳定的郊区。在东部，剧院，商店，豪华住宅及建筑都是由弗兰克•劳埃德•赖特设计的。西部社区仍然很衰落。虽然社会的多样性保证计划遏制了芝加哥破坏性的种族居住的做法，但文化的融合一直是最脆弱。
在社区的中心坐落着伊利奥斯里，一条原始的小路点缀着宁静的家园，并架起了橡树园富有和贫穷的极端。在4月第一个温暖的日子，当玛丽•伊丽莎白•麦克弗森，一个伊利奥斯里的终身居民从高中逃课，一系列的家庭入侵让她周围的邻居感到不安。伊利奥斯里的居民投身于一个不稳定的联盟中，他们必须在所住的世界里，以及他们中的有些人试图创新的世界里采取股份制。
深刻全面，《我们失去了什么》把令人印象深刻的角色阵容交织在一起，他们的生活在灾难之后发生碰撞。在这个强大的小说处女作中，雷切尔•路易丝•斯奈德揭示了当理想面对现实时的灰色区域。(LNL)
