BOY, LOST
Book ID/图书代码： 03540013B63691
English Summary/英文概要： A powerful family memoir from the award-winning author of The China Garden.
Kristina Olsson’s mother lost her infant son, Peter, when he was snatched from her arms as she boarded a train in the hot summer of 1950.
She was young and frightened, trying to escape a brutal marriage, but despite the violence and cruelty she’d endured, she was not prepared for this final blow, this breathtaking punishment. Yvonne would not see her son again for nearly 40 years. Kristina was the first child of her mother’s subsequent, much gentler marriage and, like her siblings, grew up unaware of the reasons behind her mother’s sorrow, though Peter’s absence resounded through the family, marking each one. Yvonne dreamt of her son by day and by night, while Peter grew up a thousand miles and a lifetime away, dreaming of his missing mother.
Boy, Lost tells how their lives proceeded from that shattering moment, the grief and shame that stalked them, what they lost and what they salvaged. But it is also the story of a family, the cascade of grief and guilt through generations, and the endurance of memory and faith.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 这是一本来自《中国花园》的获奖作者的家庭回忆录，是一本很有力量的书。
在1950年炎热的夏天，当克里斯蒂娜•奥尔森的母亲在登火车的时候，幼小的儿子彼得从她的胳膊下被抢走，于是这位母亲失去了她的儿子。
她年轻而恐惧，试图逃离一场残酷的婚姻，尽管她已经遭受了残酷的暴力，却还没有为最后一击做好准备——逃离的处罚。这个处罚就是伊冯娜有40年没有见过她的儿子了。克里斯蒂娜是母亲随后更温和的婚姻里的第一个孩子，虽然彼得的缺席一直在家中被提起，但她和她的兄弟姐妹一样，在不知道母亲悲伤背后的原因下长大。伊冯娜白天和晚上都会梦见她的儿子，而此时远在千里之外的彼得也在梦着他不见的妈妈。
《失踪的男孩》讲述了在那个惊天动地的时刻后，他们如何生活，跟随着他们的悲伤和耻辱，以及他们失去了什么挽回了什么。但它也是一个关于家庭的故事，一代代传下来的悲痛和内疚，以及记忆和信念的持久。(LNL)
