简介:
Pulitzer Prize finalist and New York Times bestselling author of The Snow Child Eowyn Ivey returns to the mythical landscapes of Alaska with an unforgettable dark fairy tale that asks the question: Can love save us from ourselves? Birdie's keeping it together; of course she is. So she's a little hungover, sometimes, and she has to bring her daughter, Emaleen, to her job waiting tables at an Alaskan roadside lodge, but she's getting by as a single mother in a tough town. Still, Birdie can remember happier times from her youth, when she was free in the wilds of nature. Arthur Neilsen, a soft-spoken and scarred recluse who appears in town only at the change of seasons, brings Emaleen back to safety when she gets lost in the woods. Most people avoid him, but to Birdie, he represents everything she's ever longed for. She finds herself falling for Arthur and the land he knows so well. Against the warnings of those who care about them, Birdie and Emaleen move to his isolated cabin in the mountains, on the far side of the Wolverine River. It's just the three of them in the vast black woods, far from roads, telephones, electricity, and outside contact, but Birdie believes she has come prepared. At first, it's idyllic and she can picture a happily ever after: Together they catch salmon, pick berries, and climb mountains so tall it's as if they could touch the bright blue sky. But soon Birdie discovers that Arthur is something much more mysterious and dangerous than she could have ever imagined, and that like the Alaska wilderness, a fairy tale can be as dark as it is beautiful. Black Woods, Blue Sky is a novel with life-and-death stakes, about the love between a mother and daughter, and the allure of a wild life-about what we gain and what it might cost us.
普利策奖决赛入围者、《纽约时报》畅销书《雪孩子》的作者 Eowyn Ivey 带着一个令人难忘的黑暗童话故事回到了阿拉斯加的神话景观,提出了一个问题:爱能把我们从自己身上拯救出来吗?Birdie 让它保持在一起;她当然是。所以她有时有点宿醉,她不得不带着女儿 Emaleen 去阿拉斯加的一家路边旅馆做服务员,但她作为一个单身母亲,在一个艰难的小镇上过着日子。尽管如此,Birdie 仍记得她年轻时在大自然的荒野中自由自在的快乐时光。亚瑟·尼尔森 (Arthur Neilsen) 是一个说话轻声细语、伤痕累累的隐士,只有在换季时才会出现在镇上,当 Emaleen 在树林中迷路时,他将她带回了安全的地方。大多数人都避开他,但对 Birdie 来说,他代表了她一直渴望的一切。她发现自己爱上了亚瑟和他所熟悉的土地。不顾关心他们的人的警告,Birdie 和 Emaleen 搬到了他在山上的孤立小屋,位于金刚狼河的另一边。只有他们三个人在广阔的黑色树林中,远离道路、电话、电力和外界联系,但 Birdie 相信她已经有备而来。起初,这里是田园诗般的,她可以想象从此以后的幸福生活:他们一起捕捉鲑鱼,采摘浆果,爬上高耸的山峰,仿佛可以触摸到明亮的蓝天。但很快 Birdie 发现 Arthur 比她想象的要神秘和危险得多,就像阿拉斯加的荒野一样,童话故事可以既黑暗又美丽。Black Woods, Blue Sky 是一部生死攸关的小说,讲述了母女之间的爱情,以及野外生活的诱惑——关于我们获得了什么,可能付出了什么代价。
