THOUGH THE LIGHT SEEMS SMALL

Book ID/图书代码： 06580014B70053

English Summary/英文概要： Pilgrim Jones wakes in a hospital in Switzerland to unbearable, unbelievable news: three children are dead and she drove the car that killed them. Only one person seems able to forgive her: the policeman, Paul Strebel, whose job it is to break the news.

As Pilgrim’s life falls apart she seeks refuge in a small, isolated village in East Africa. However Magulu is not the tranquil African backwater it first seems: another European stranger arrives and a box of albino body parts is discovered. This is a powerful voodoo curse, but for whom?

Through haunting, compelling prose we piece together the events surrounding the catastrophe and its aftermath. Something real or imagined seems to be closing in on Pilgrim and on those she meets, all equally damaged or culpable. With unflinching honesty and compassion this novel explores if and how humans can carry on when they have caused or suffered great harm.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 皮尔格林•琼斯在瑞士的医院醒来却听到了伤心欲绝的消息：她开的车撞死了三个孩子。似乎只有一个人能够原谅她：宣布这一消息的警察，保罗•斯特雷贝尔。

皮尔格林的生活分崩离析，她在东非的一个与世隔绝的小村庄里寻求庇护。然而村庄“马格路”并不像它第一眼看起来的那样平静：另一个欧洲陌生人来到了这里，并且身体白化的一部分被发现了。这是一个强大的巫毒诅咒，但针对谁？

透过这本令人难以忘怀以及令人信服的书，我们将灾难及其后果周围的事件拼凑起来。一些真实或想象的东西似乎在接近皮尔格林，她遇到的事情要么残缺要么有罪。这本小说用坚定的诚实和同情探索了当人们已经造成或受到极大的伤害时，他们将如何继续生活。(LNL)
