LOVE AND FALLOUT

Book ID/图书代码: 12040014B75428

English Summary/英文概要: When Tessa’s best friend organises a surprise TV makeover, Tessa is horrified. It’s the last thing she needs - her business is on the brink of collapse, her marriage is under strain and her daughter is more interested in beauty pageants than student politics. What’s more, the ’Greenham Common angle’ the TV producers have devised reopens some personal history Tessa has tried to hide away. Then Angela gets in touch, Tessa’s least favourite member of the Greenham gang, and she’s drawn back into her muddy past. Moving between the present and 1982, and set against the mass protests which touched thousands of women’s lives, Love and Fallout is a book about friendship, motherhood and the accidents that make us who we are. A hugely entertaining novel from debut novelist and award-winning poet Kathryn Simmonds.

Chinese Summary/中文概要: 当密友组织了一场大改造电视节目秀后,泰莎感到惊恐万分。这正是她最害怕发生的事情---她的生意正处于崩溃的边缘,她的婚姻岌岌可危,而她的女儿对于选美的兴趣似乎要远胜于学习。更糟糕的是,“格林汉姆平凡天使”的制片人还计划着重新揭开一些泰莎努力隐藏的过去。很快泰莎在格林汉姆中最不喜欢的成员安吉拉主动联系了她,而她也因此被拖回了自己不堪的过去。游走在当下与1982年间,发生在触动了成千上万女性生活的大规模游行的背景下,《爱与余波》是一本有关于友情、母爱、以及那些塑造了今天的我们的事件的故事。这部极其欢快的小说来自获奖诗人凯瑟琳•西蒙德斯的处女小说作品。(DC)

Awards/获奖情况:’引人入胜,丝丝入扣。一本有趣同时观察得细致入微的作品,讲述了我们每个人都极易忽视的一段过往时刻。女性们对于她们自身及别人的期待在西蒙德斯的这部有关于友情与失去的幽默作品中被呈现得淋漓尽致。’ - 凯瑟琳•欧福林

’Engrossing and engaging. This is a funny and acutely observed book about an often overlooked moment in history. The expectations women have of themselves and each other are exposed in Simmonds’ wry story of friendship and loss.’ - Catherine O’Flynn
