Book ID/图书代码： 11197514B70540

English Summary/英文概要： When 11-year-old Indigo and her older brother Robin arrive in South Africa to stay with their father, they find a luxury lifestyle that is a world away from their modest existence back in England. But Indigo is uneasy in the foreign landscape and confused by the family’s silence surrounding her mother’s recent death. Unable to find solace in either new or old faces, she begins to harbour violent suspicions in place of the truth. Steeped in the dry heat of a South African summer, this keen and touching debut seamlessly interweaves the voices of Indigo and her mother, and beautifully captures the human desire to belong: in a family, in a country, in your own skin.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 11岁的英迪格和哥哥罗宾来到南非投奔父亲，他们的生活不再像在英国时那样谦卑无助，而是变得富足起来。但是英迪格并不适应这陌生的环境，对家中因为母亲的去世而一片死寂也颇为困惑。英迪格找不到可以宽慰她的人，从而陷入了强烈的猜忌情绪当中。《惊恐的女孩》故事背景设置在南非干旱的夏日之中，融合了英迪格和她母亲的声音，非常感人至深，小说也就此挖掘了人性中对归属感的渴望：也就是对家庭、国家、以及自身归属感的渴望。（XAT）
