English Summary/英文概要： In this gripping, emotionally charged novel, a tragedy in Texas changes the course of three lives
On an oppressively hot Monday in August of 1966, a student and former marine named Charles Whitman hauled a footlocker of guns to the top of the University of Texas tower and began firing on pedestrians below. Before it was over, sixteen people were dead and thirty-two wounded. It was the first mass shooting of civilians on a campus in American history.
With pathos and electrifying storytelling, Elizabeth Crook’s Monday, Monday follows three students whose lives are forever altered by the massacre. There’s Shelly, who leaves her math class and walks right into the path of the bullets; and two cousins, Wyatt and Jack, who rush out of the university buildings intending to help. Thus begins a relationship between the three, eventually entangling their lives in a forbidden love affair, an illicit pregnancy, and a vow of secrecy that will span forty years. Reunited in a desert town in West Texas decades after the tragedy, the three are forced to confront the thing that changed them—and to discover what’s most meaningful in their lives.
Monday, Monday is Crook’s first novel in eight years. In its humane, touching treatment of a national tragedy, it marks a generous and thrilling new direction for a gifted American writer.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 在这部扣人心弦，挑战着你的情感的作品之中，你会看到一场发生在德克萨斯的悲剧是如何改变了三个人的生命历程。
在1966年八月一个炎热到压抑的礼拜一，一名曾是一名水手的学生查尔斯•惠特曼拖着一柜子的枪支，来到了德克萨斯大学的一座塔顶。并开始向下面的人行道上进行扫射。在他的行为被制止之前，16个人当场死亡，32个人因此受伤。这是美国历史上第一次发生在校园中的大规模市民枪击案。
通过激起怜悯和采用令人激昂故事叙述方式，伊丽莎白•克鲁克的《周一，周一》跟踪讲述了三名因为这场屠杀而发生了重大人生变化的学生的经历。雪莉，刚刚从数学课的课堂上走出来，便走进了枪林弹雨之中；瓦特和杰克两位堂兄弟则是原本冲出了教学楼打算帮助救人。如此，三人便这样展开了一段牵扯不清的关系，并最终导致他们身陷一场不伦的禁忌之恋，一场不合伦理的怀孕，以及一个持续了长达40年之久的秘密宣言。这场悲剧过去了数十年后，他们在德克萨斯西部的沙漠之镇中得以团聚，三人不得不面对那场改变了他们的事件---并发现生命中最珍贵的究竟是什么。
《周一，周一》是克鲁克八年来的第一部小说作品。她用充满人性和动人的笔触描绘刻画着这场国民悲剧，标志着一名才华横溢的美国作家开辟出了宽阔而惊人的全新方向。（DC）
