推荐一本畅销小说
Alice Sebold 所写的 The Lovely Bones
这本小说描写一个女孩子在被邻居强暴、谋杀之後
从天堂看人世的故事
主角叫做Susie
死後从天堂看到自己的家人的反应与感受;
弟妹与朋友的成长经过
凶手的挣扎与一再犯案的冲动
以及他自己在天堂的体悟与学习
个人觉得作者说故事的方法蛮高明
他并不是根据时间线来说这个故事
而是一件事牵着一件事,一个感受牵着另一个感受
他在每个人的动作与言谈描述上透露了大家内心的震撼与悲伤
会让人忍不住一页接着一页看下去
每个文化甚至每个人对天堂的描述其实都不一样
希望跟大家分享一个好的故事
不涉及宗教与文化对天堂的定义
只因为自己从这本书里得到了阅读的乐趣与不同的感受
节录封底的简介:
This is Susie Salmon, speaking from heaven -
which looks a lot like her school playground,
with the good kind of swing sets,
counsllors to help newcomers adjust,
and friends ot room with.
Everything Susie wants appears as soon as she thinks of it -
except the one thing she wants most:
to be back with the people she loved on earth.
Watching from her place in heaven,
Susie sees her happy, suburban family devastated by her death,
isolated even from one another,
as they each try to cope with their terrible loss alone.
Over the years, her friends and siblings group up, fall in love,
do all the things she never had the chance to do herself.
But life is not quite finished with Susie yet...
