JUST FALL: A NOVEL
Book ID/图书代码： 04332814B71250
English Summary/英文概要： When we talk about this book – which we’ve done often since acquisition!—we’ve pitched it as Gone Girl, if that book had been a love story. It’s also perfect for readers of Laura Lippman, Paula Hawkins, and of course, Gillian Flynn. Balanced on the razor edge of moral ambiguity, this sexy and seductive novel asks: How can you find out that the person you love is a killer...and continue to love him anyway? Told from the dual perspectives of both wife and husband, the current events unfold in tandem with the riveting backstory of the early days of their romance.
On the night of her wedding to Rob, Ellie’s perfect world suddenly collapses. Her suave, charming, sophisticated husband is not the man she believed him to be. Ellie is rapidly swept into a lethal vortex of betrayal, lies, and uncertainty: Who is the man she married, really? And how far will she go to protect him? From Manhattan to the Caribbean, Rob and Ellie struggle to escape the grip of Rob’s former life -- a life his employers are determined to ensnare him in for good. When faced with a terrible choice -- to become a murderer herself to save the man she loves, or to let him die -- Ellie’s decision propels her into a whiplash-paced adventure, filled with cinematic twists and a startling sense of unease.
Given the expert pacing in JUST FALL, it’s probably no surprise to hear that Nina Sadowsky has written numerous original screenplays and adaptations for such companies as The Walt Disney Company, Working Title Films, and Lifetime Television. She was a producer on the Academy Award nominated “The House of Sand and Fog”, and was president of Meg Ryan’s Prufrock Pictures for over five years. She was also the executive producer of the hit film “The Wedding Planner”. She is currently an adjunct professor at USC’s School of Cinematic Arts program, teaching both writing and producing. JUST FALL has already sparked major interest in Hollywood.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 《不断坠落》这本书无疑会获得劳拉•利普曼、宝拉•霍金斯以及吉莉安•弗林书迷们的喜爱。书中道德的模糊感使其更具吸引力，它也不断地在向读者提问：如果你发现爱人是一个杀手，你还会继续爱他吗？本书从妻子和丈夫两个角度进行双线结构描写，现在的事件牵连着过往甜蜜的岁月，情节一环扣一环，非常紧凑。
在嫁给罗博的当晚，艾丽完美的世界就突然崩塌了。温柔、富有魅力和情感丰富的丈夫忽然变得让人不认识了。艾丽被卷入了一场充满背叛、谎言和不确定的致命漩涡中。她的丈夫到底是谁？她应该去保护他吗？从曼哈顿到加勒比，一路上罗博和艾丽都在试图摆脱罗博过往的生活——一段被雇主牵制卖命的生活。艾丽最终面临一个残酷的选择，是要成为杀手来保护她深爱的男人还是让他去死，无论艾丽怎么选择，她都将被卷入一场残酷、曲折、不安的冒险中。
在领略了《不断坠落》紧张的节奏后，读者应该对尼娜•萨多斯基曾为迪士尼、未命名电影和生活频道等编写及改编过许多剧本的经历并不惊讶。她是《沙子和青蛙之屋》的制片人，该片获得了“学术奖”，她还是热门电影《婚礼策划人》的执行制片人。尼娜现任南加州大学电影艺术学院的副教授，教授写作和制片。《不断坠落》已经获得了好莱坞的巨大关注。（XAT）
Awards/获奖情况：“这部小说简直太棒了！我今天早上刚刚收到《不断坠落》的电子邮件，一口气就把它读完了，我已经好几年没有遇到这么精彩的小说了。尼娜•萨多斯基的构思创新、思路清晰、叙事技巧卓越、节奏紧凑。我可能还会坐下来再好好读一遍。”——苏•格拉夫顿，《纽约时代》畅销书作家
“《不断坠落》是一部非常优秀的小说，角色非常丰富，可读性很强，给我很大的惊喜。这部小说描述了两个受伤害的人希望在对方身上找到救赎，探索了人们对家庭和归属感的渴望，以及建立这种联结需要付出的代价。情节和写作手法等都非常吸引人。”——戴安娜•克顿
“《不断坠落》情节非常吸引人、紧凑而诱人，让你舍不得放下书，成功地将过去和现在交织在一起。无论是精神患者还是‘好女孩变坏’的老套情节，我们在艾丽的身上都能找到自己的影子。她对罗博的爱使她正视自己内心的黑暗面，最后欣然地接受它、拥抱它。艾丽和罗博的关系就是对亲密所带来的愉悦和危险的隐喻。”——米歇尔•雷默•克雅塔，《一线剧本和巧克力》执行制片人
“一部关于爱情、谎言和背叛的故事。萨多斯基将我们最珍视的浪漫幻想和最可怕阴暗的秘密交织在一起。白马王子、梦幻婚礼和‘从此过上幸福的生活’只适合出现在童话故事，而不是这部犯罪小说中。这本小说就像是《消失的爱人》加上《致命的吸引力》，充满了诱惑，让人爱不释手！”托德•莎莉文，《复仇和超级女孩》编剧和制片人
“What a terrific novel! JUST FALL arrived in the mail this morning and I read the book in one sitting, which I haven’t done for years. Nina Sadowsky’s premise is original, her voice is clear, her storytelling skills are remarkable, and her pacing is perfect. I may have to sit down and read this one again.” –Sue Grafton, #1 New York Times bestselling author
“Character rich and compulsively readable, Nina Sadowsky’s JUST FALL is a marvelous surprise. Exploring the universal need for family and human connection and the costs incurred when those bonds are severed, JUST FALL takes the reader on a wild ride through the psyches of two damaged people who hope to find redemption in one another. The writing is lush, the insights sharp. This novel is a winner.” –Diane Keaton
“JUST FALL is a novel to relish -- smart, tense, sexy as hell, with writing that sweeps you up and away, somehow managing to weave seamlessly between the past and present. In Ellie we see the making of a femme fatale as we never have before. Neither a psychopath, nor the tired "good girl turned bad," Ellie is a truly modern everywoman. Her love for Rob brings her face to face with her dark side, and it is immensely satisfying to watch her embrace it. Ellie and Rob’s relationship is a thrilling metaphor for the pleasure and perils of intimacy.” --Michelle Raimo Kouyate, executive producer of The Silver Linings Playbook and Chocolat
