THE SECRETS WE LEFT BEHIND
Book ID/图书代码： 12290014B72018
English Summary/英文概要： It was a summer of love, and a summer of secrets…
She has built a good life: a husband who adores her, a daughter she is fiercely proud of, a home with warmth and love at its heart. But things were not always so good, and the truth is that she has done things she can never admit.
Then one evening a phone call comes out of the blue. It is a voice from long ago, from a past that she has tried so hard to hide. Scott knows who she really is and what she has done. Now he is dying and he gives her an ultimatum: either she tells the truth, or he will.
And so we are taken back to that long hot summer of 1976 to a house by the sea, where her story begins and where the truth will be revealed…
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 这是一个充满爱的夏天，也是一个充满秘密的夏天。。。。。。
她为自己打造了完美的人生：迷恋她的丈夫，令她自豪不已的女儿，一个真正充满了温暖与爱的家。然而生活并非总是那么美好的，而这一切背后的真相，她为此所做的事情，她永远都不会承认。
直到一个夜晚，一通意外来电改变了一切。电话那一端的声音来自一段遥远的记忆，来自她一直以来努力隐藏的过去。斯科特知道她的本来面目，知道她曾做过的一切。如今他时日所剩无几，也因此给她下了最后的通牒：如果她不将真相公布于众，那么他就会代替她。
我们随之回到了那个1976年的炎热夏天，回到了那座海边的小屋，在那里她的故事缓缓展开，在那里，一切的真相即将呈现。。。。。。（DC）
Awards/获奖情况：这是一个迷人的故事，在两次火车旅行的途中，我完成了这个故事的创作，并熬了一夜进行了一番马拉松式的彻夜通读与修改（《那些我们永远不会说的事》），故事全篇将由双重叙述的方式完美展开，其间巧妙的穿插了两段不同的时期。住在谢菲尔德期间，我十分享受当地的淡淡的现代时期的气息，然而真正充满了令人难以置信的共鸣感的却是那段发生在1976年炎炎夏日里的久远故事。我感到那段历史背景，那个地点，那种氛围，那座屋子，那些人以及他们之间的关系都令我深深沉醉，并充满了真实感。正如许多其他的评论家们一般，阅读初始，我便猜测到了其间的坎坷曲折，但那只会令你更想快速地阅读下去，弄清一切的因果起始！极力推荐的夏季读物---期待作者的下一部作品。
A compelling story, I finished this in two train journeys and an ill-advised late night reading marathon! Like the author’s first novel (The Things We Never Said), this story is told through a perfectly crafted dual narrative, travelling expertly between two different time periods. Living in Sheffield, I really enjoyed the local references in the modern-day period, but it was the parts of the story set in the long, hot summer of 1976 that were incredibly evocative. I felt totally immersed in the setting; the location, the atmosphere, the house, the characters and the relationships between them were all totally believable. Like other reviewers, I had guessed the twist quite early on, but that just makes you want to read on faster to find out how it happens! A highly recommended summer read - I’m looking forward to the author’s next book.

Susan Elliot Wright grew up in Lewisham in south-east London, left school at 16 and married unwisely at eighteen. She didn’t begin to pursue her childhood dream of writing until she left her unhappy marriage and went to university at the age of 30. After gaining a degree in English, she decided to choose a new name, and began flicking through the phonebook for ideas. She settled on Elliot and changed her name by deed poll. Then she met ’Mr Right’ (actually, Mr Wright) to whom she is now happily married. She has an MA in Writing from Sheffield Hallam University, where she is now an Associate Lecturer.
