DEATH IN TWILIGHT GROVE
Book ID/图书代码： 04320214B68298
English Summary/英文概要： Who could imagine that anything illegal – whether it be suspicious deaths, thefts or the covert trading of medications – could happen in Twilight Grove retirement home? Its 90-year-old residents Siiri and Irma certainly can’t.
The lives of Siiri, Irma, and other Twilight Grove inhabitants are filled mostly with empty time punctuated by glasses of red wine, tram rides and funerals. Investigating the sudden strange occurrences at Twilight Grove, however, proves to be a more interesting pastime than playing cards with the ambassador and the woman in the wide-brimmed hat – not to mention the never-ending arts and crafts sessions, gym classes or accordion evenings (which the residents of the house attend mostly out of pity towards the employees).
Death in Twilight Grove is a devilishly funny and suspenseful story about old age, friendship and life in a relatively ordinary retirement home. Here the only fate worse than death is being drugged up and locked away inside the dementia ward. Even the sharpest senior can’t decipher all the nuances of this place; thankfully a few young people, including members of the biker gang and a grandchild’s boyfriend, offer some help.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 人们退休后会来到暮光之林生活，这里是属于老年人的世界。
西丽、厄玛和暮光之林中其他90岁上下的居民生活空虚无聊，平时只能靠着一杯红酒、搭乘电车和参加葬礼打发时间。他们平时也会参加那些看似无穷无尽的艺术、手工会和其他休闲活动，而调查这个退休团体中的突发性奇怪事件则成了大家最热衷的消遣，这可是一项充满新奇和挑战的活动。
人到暮年，经历过一切仿佛生活应该归于平淡，但是谁又能说这不是另一个新的开始？在暮光之林，比死更糟糕的事情是被关进老年痴呆病房……
Awards/获奖情况：如果你喜欢瑞典作家约纳斯•约纳松风靡全球的畅销小说《爬出窗外并消失的百岁老人》，那么你一定要看看《暮光之林三部曲》！

一起来看看我们90岁时世界的样子！
