Chinese Summary/中文概要: 一部充满了戏剧性的冒险故事,透视出家庭动力状况。
《大山的故事》是一部史诗篇的冒险传说。这部史诗家族剧源于约翰•斯坦贝克的《伊甸之东》,Lori由此灵感而得。 小说是Lori的在加利福尼亚风景如画的乡村所寻找发现的而汇聚成的一个故事,在她的后院荒野和沙漠临近的地方,她目睹了一头美洲狮吞食鹿,土狼和其他生物四处觅食,以及森林野火就在路边肆虐的景象。 她现在的房子建造在原先被大火吞噬的另一所房子的土基上。
这个小说故事发生在(美国加州)棕榈泉的一座山外,旅行的缆车从城市到山腰类似于流动的“如同在15分钟内从炎热的墨西哥横跨至寒冷的阿拉斯加。”这座山很容易让人迷路 — Lori就曾经经历过。你总能看到山下的那座荒芜城市,但你却无法找到下山的出路。
《大山的故事》由Wolf Truly所讲述,他在18岁生日那天,遇见了三名在棕榈泉山野荒地迷路了五天的女子。现在他是一个成人和父亲,Wolf为他的儿子,即将要迈入大学校园的Danny记录下那些在山上真正发生过的事情。 Wolf很清楚自己前儿子一个真相,由于种种原因却在小说的结尾处变成一个令人震惊的启示。
Wolf是一个长得粗壮的年轻人,在年仅四岁时失去了母亲,从小被征服下一个目标感兴趣,整天沉浸在苏格兰威士忌酒瓶里的父亲抚养长大。 Wolf曾企图登山去自杀,以纪念自己在山上发生悲剧事故的好友Byrd,那处曾是男孩们躲避纷扰的天堂。
Wolf在缆车的途中遇见了三名妇女,并通过巧妙地策划灾难,这几名妇女结最终迷路被陷入困境之中。她们可以下面的沙漠城市,但却无法找到从树木丛生的峭壁下山的路程。 Wolf想从自杀中让他们几个能幸存下去,这四人通过五天的希望和迷失,损失和因为野外而体温过低,以及难以置信的自我启示。最后只有三人活着走下了山。
紧张而扣人心弦,《大山的故事》包含了性,死亡,深邃的情感和自我牺牲。这不仅是一个历险故事,而是一部充满着戏剧性跌宕起伏的冒险故事,也是一场对家庭动力的考验。(Sandy)

Filled with richly drawn characters, unexpected twists, and gritty details about survival, you’ll want to read this right now. Unless, that is, you happen to be camping!
