TINY ACTS OF LOVE: A FUNNY ROMANTIC NOVEL
Book ID/图书代码： 01890014B67526
English Summary/英文概要： Tiny Acts of Love is a funny and romantic debut novel, full of great characters and captivating story lines. Though very much in the chic-lit category, it also has lots of quirky elements to it – funny but thoughtful women’s fiction.
Arriving home with her baby daughter Sophie, employment lawyer Cassie opens her email to find she has 104 new messages in her inbox, all with the subject ’48 Stitches Later’. To Cassie’s horror, her overly-excited husband Jonathan has sent a grisly blow-by-blow account of Cassie’s labour – plus attached photo – to everyone in her contact list, including her clients!
Bizarre events follow. Amid mood swings, post-natal hypochondria and the side effects of the fated email, who saunters into her world again but her sexy, swaggering ex-boyfriend Malkie – the one who got away? Unlike Jonathan, Malkie seems to get her – and he’d like to get her into bed again too! She also finds herself advising a funeral director on ghost protocol, discovers in the taskforce of Babycraft mums and dads just how competitive parenting can be, and becomes (possibly) involved in an act of hotel spa fraud – never mind trying to tackle her own emotional rollercoaster through her first year of motherhood.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 爱的微举动是一本有趣的又浪漫的处女作小说，充满了伟大的人物和引人入胜的故事情节。虽然有很多别致的目录，它仍富有多种元素在内——有趣但带着女性的多思。与她的宝贝女儿Sophie一起到家，执业律师Cassie打开邮箱发现她有104封新邮件在她的收件箱内，都带着“48针以后”的主题。令Cassie感到恐怖的是她情绪过于激动的丈夫Jonathan 发了一封逐一记录Cassie劳资的可怕邮件并附上照片给了她联系人列表里的所有人——包括她的客户！
离奇的事件随之而来。在一片情绪波动中，产后抑郁和被诅咒的邮件的阴影，以及谁大摇大摆地再次闯进她的世界除了性感而又放荡的前男友Malkie就是之前逃走的那位。与Jonathan相比，Malkie更容易使她情动。并且她发现她自己给殡仪馆馆长提供了幽灵协议的建议，发现在奶爸奶妈特遣小组中育儿竞争是多么激烈以及有可能参与酒店水疗诈欺行为——更不用说如何解决她那过山车般的情感生活在她当妈妈的第一年里面。(LNL)
