THE END OF THE RAINY SEASON: DISCOVERING MY FAMILY’ S HIDDEN PAST IN BRAZIL
Book ID/图书代码： 07633014B74604
English Summary/英文概要： Marian Lindberg grew up being told that Walter Lindberg, the man who raised her father, was a brave explorer who had been murdered in the Amazon. She took her father’s claims at face value, basking in her exotic roots, until she started to notice things. The unverified legend became a riddle she couldn’t solve.
As Lindberg moved from journalism to law, fell in love, and sought a family of her own, her father repeatedly interfered. He had a closed vision of his family, and she—unlike the silent Walter—was breaking out.
Yet her father’s story of the past haunted Lindberg. Long after her father’s death, Lindberg set off for the Amazon, determined to find out the truth about Walter. Aided by generous Brazilians who adopted her search as if it were their own, she discovered as much about herself and her family as about Walter, whose true role in Brazil’s history turned out to be unexpected and deeply troubling.
Sharply observant, wrought with honesty, and sweeping in its ambitions, The End of the Rainy Season is a powerful examination of identity and human relationships with nature, and between one another.

Awards/获奖情况：“从小成长在一个充满了秘密的家庭之中，使得林德伯格坚信总有那么一段家族历史是没有被神秘气息所掩盖的：那便是关于祖父的英雄故事。父亲曾告诉她，祖父沃尔特•林德伯格曾是一名工程师，探险家，以及一名英勇无畏的冒险者，她也因此狂热的坚信着他是被某种不知名的食人怪或是其身处的探险队中的某名贪婪的队友，在亚马逊的丛林深处，残忍的杀害了。当她逐渐长大，她作为一名律师和新闻记者的直觉告诉她这一切的背后一定还隐藏着更多的故事。当她踏上了这场前往亚马逊中心腹地的危险之旅后，她揭开了一系列有关于她自身以及家族错综复杂过去的惊人秘密。这段深刻的自我寻觅之旅读来亦像是一段异域的旅行回忆录。”----《书单》

“Raised in a house full of secrets, Lindberg believed there was one piece of family history that was not shrouded in mystery: the heroic story of her grandfather. Told by her father that Walter Lindberg had been an engineer, an explorer, and an intrepid adventurer, she fervently believed he had been murdered by either cannibals or by greedy members of his own expedition deep in the jungles of the Amazon. As she grew older, her instincts as a lawyer and a journalist led her to believe that there was more to the story. Embarking on her own dangerous odyssey into the heart of the Amazon, she uncovers some startling truths about both herself and her family’s twisted past This intriguing journey of self-discovery reads as an exotic travel memoir as well.”— BOOKLIST
"This ruminative family mystery brims with incident, from tropical trail-tracing to personal health crises, and, ultimately, both some disturbing revelations and a hard-won peace of mind."—ELLE
