THE LEMON ORCHARD: A NOVEL
Book ID/图书代码： 06830013B63177
English Summary/英文概要： A heartrending, timely love story of two people from seemingly different worlds—at once dramatic and romantic
Luanne Rice is the beloved author of twenty-two New York Times bestsellers. In The Lemon Orchard, one of her most moving and accomplished works yet, Rice gives us an affirming story about the redemptive power of compassion, set in the sea- and citrus-scented air of the breathtaking Santa Monica Mountains.
It’s been five years since Julia’s daughter died. When she arrives to housesit at her uncle’s home in Malibu, she longs only for peace. But to her surprise, Julia becomes drawn to Roberto, the handsome man from Mexico who oversees the lemon orchard. When Roberto reveals his own heartbreak, Julia recognizes his pain, but their stories have one striking difference: Roberto’s daughter was lost—and never found. What ensues is a page-turning search across the U.S. and Mexican border and a captivating novel of love, both enduring and unexpected.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 这是一个令人心碎的爱情故事，故事的两个主人公来自看似不同的两个世界，却陷入了戏剧和浪漫之中。
Luanne Rice是备受欢迎的作家，已著有22本纽约时报畅销书。本书是她最动人、最有成就的作品之一。在海风中漂浮着柑橘清香的桑塔莫妮卡山区，Rice描绘了同情所能带来的救赎力量。
Julia的女儿过世已经五年了。当她来到她叔叔在马里布的家里照看房子时，她只想一个人静静。但令她惊讶的是，她被从墨西哥来照看柠檬果园的帅哥Roberto深深吸引了。Roberto最终说出了让自己心痛的秘密，Julia觉得自己能够理解他的痛苦，但他们的故事中有一个显着的差异：Roberto的女儿只是失踪了，再也没有找到。随之而来的是横跨美国和墨西哥边境的搜查和爱情——既持久又意外。(LYR)
Awards/获奖情况：令人着迷。（People）
Rice将她招牌式的有关家人和失去的描写融入了有关非法移民的话题，效果很好，读来令人感觉可爱又可信，而且虽然并无大张旗鼓，却不乏勇敢的社会评论，增强了本书的影响力。（Kirkus）
要信任Rice（《Little Night》，2012年）。作为一本探讨家庭力量的小说，有关非法移民的话题往往最终归于修辞和统计，但这本书里有令人意想不到的情节反转，让读者十分渴望能够再度读到本书的续集。（Booklist）

"Rice here takes her signature themes of family and loss into the difficult and enigmatic landscape of illegal immigration to powerful effect . . . . Lovely and compelling, with quiet yet brave social commentary that enhances the book’s impact."—Kirkus
“Trust Rice (Little Night, 2012), known for fiction that explores the power of family, to find the humanity in illegal immigration, a topic too often relegated to rhetoric and statistics. . . . An unexpected plot turn will leave readers begging for a sequel.”—Booklist
"Rice’s fans will appreciate the evocative setting and unconventional romance, as well as the harrowing . . . depictions of border crossing and the fascinating parallels drawn between Julia’s research interests (she studies the Irish who arrived in America over a century ago) and modern-day Mexican immigrants."—Publishers Weekly
