THE WALLS AROUND US
Book ID/图书代码： 00342514B74848
English Summary/英文概要： “Ori’s dead because of what happened out behind the theater, in the tunnel made out of trees. She’s dead because she got sent to that place upstate, locked up with those monsters. And she got sent there because of me.”
The Walls Around Us is a ghostly story of suspense told in two voices--one still living and one long dead. On the outside, there’s Violet, an eighteen-year-old dancer days away from the life of her dreams when something threatens to expose the shocking truth of her achievement. On the inside, within the walls of a girls’ juvenile detention center, there’s Amber, locked up for so long she can’t imagine freedom. Tying these two worlds together is Orianna, who holds the key to unlocking all the girls’ darkest mysteries.
We hear Amber’s story and Violet’s, and through them Orianna’s, first from one angle, then from another, until gradually we begin to get the whole picture--which is not necessarily the one that either Amber or Violet wants us to see.
Nova Ren Suma tells a supernatural tale of guilt and innocence, and what happens when one is mistaken for the other.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 作者为读者讲述了一个有关罪恶与清白，以及当这两者被混淆之后发生的超自然的故事。
故事充满了悬念，由两位主人公以第一人称的形式进行讲述。主人公Violet是一个18岁的舞者，某一天被威胁说要揭露她取得的成就背后的惊人真相。另一位主人公Amber在一所青少年罪犯拘留中心的高墙内，她被关了很久，已经无法想象自由的滋味了。Orianna握有揭开所有女孩最深处的秘密的钥匙，她将这两个世界连接到了一起。
读者将分别读到这三个角色的故事，最后得出整件事情的真相——两位主人公不愿意让大家知道的真相。(LYR)
