THE GREEN ROAD
Book ID/图书代码: 11701214B73266
English Summary/英文概要: The stunning new book by winner of the Booker Prize
A darkly glinting novel set on Ireland’s Atlantic coast, The Green Road is a story of fracture and family, selfishness and compassion - a book about the gaps in the human heart and how we learn to fill them.
The children of Rosaleen Madigan leave the west of Ireland for lives they never could have imagined in Dublin, New York and various third-world towns. In her early old age their difficult, wonderful mother announces that she’s decided to sell the house and divide the proceeds. Her adult children come back for a last Christmas, with the feeling that their childhoods are being erased, their personal history bought and sold.
Anne Enright is addicted to the truth of things. Sentence by sentence, there are few writers alive who can invest the language with such torque and gleam, such wit and longing - who can write dialogue that speaks itself aloud, who can show us the million splinters of her characters’ lives then pull them back up together again, into a perfect glass.
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 发生在爱尔兰的大西洋海岸的一个阴郁而又闪烁着光芒的故事,《绿道》是关于挫折和家庭、自私和怜悯— — 一本关于人心的缺失,和我们学习如何把它们填满的故事。
Rosaleen Madigan的孩子们离开爱尔兰西部,来到他们从未想象过的都柏林、纽约和各种第三世界国家城镇中生活。逐渐步入暮年的执拗而又骄傲的母亲宣布她决定卖掉房子后,给孩子们分配收益。家中最为年长的孩子在去年圣诞节回过这里,但那些曾经的的童年记忆已渐渐淡去,而他们留在这个家里的历史定格也将随着祖屋的出售一同远去。
安妮•赖特沉醉于揭示事物的真相。很少有几个作家能像她那样逐句地,字斟句酌地,以这种智慧的语言和热望的语句去折射人生 — — 而这些可以大声朗读的文中对话,向我们展示了她如何将笔下的人物的细枝末节的生活信息汇聚在一起,然后再将他们重新组装入一只完美的玻璃杯中。(Sandy)
