THE YEAR OF THE LADYBIRD
Book ID/图书代码： 10010013B63567
English Summary/英文概要： It is the summer of 1976, the hottest since records began and a young man leaves behind his student days and learns how to grow up. A first job in a holiday camp beckons. But with political and racial tensions simmering under the cloudless summer skies there is not much fun to be had.
And soon there is a terrible price to be paid for his new-found freedom and independence. A price that will come back to haunt him, even in the bright sunlight of summer.
As with SOME KIND OF FAIRY TALE, Graham Joyce has crafted a deceptively simple tale of great power. With beautiful prose, wonderful characters and a perfect evocation of time and place, this is a novel that transcends the boundaries between the everyday and the supernatural while celebrating the power of both.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 这是1976年的夏天,有记录以来最热的一次，一个年轻的男孩告别了他的学生时代并学习如何成长。他的第一份工作是在度假村当侍应生。但随着政治和种族的紧张局势在万里无云的夏季天空下暗流涌动，这份工作显得了无生趣。
但很快，他要为自己新发现的自由和独立付出惨重的代价。
即使是在有着明亮阳光的夏天，他还是要付出一些代价。
在《一些童话故事》之后，格雷厄姆•乔伊斯精心设计了一个看似简单的故事。优美的文笔，精彩的人物，时间和地点的完美设计，这是一部超越日常生活和自然界限的小说，同时也赞美了这两种力量。(LNL)
