In the aftermath of the Civil War, an aging itinerant news reader agrees to transport a young captive of the Kiowa back to her people in this exquisitely rendered, morally complex, multilayered novel of historical fiction from the author of Enemy Women that explores the boundaries of family, responsibility, honor, and trust.
In the wake of the Civil War, Captain Jefferson Kyle Kidd travels through northern Texas, giving live readings from newspapers to paying audiences hungry for news of the world. An elderly widower who has lived through three wars and fought in two of them, the captain enjoys his rootless, solitary existence.
In Wichita Falls, he is offered a $50 gold piece to deliver a young orphan to her relatives in San Antonio. Four years earlier, a band of Kiowa raiders killed Johanna’s parents and sister; sparing the little girl, they raised her as one of their own. Recently rescued by the U.S. army, the ten-year-old has once again been torn away from the only home she knows.
Their 400-mile journey south through unsettled territory and unforgiving terrain proves difficult and at times dangerous. Johanna has forgotten the English language, tries to escape at every opportunity, throws away her shoes, and refuses to act “civilized.” Yet as the miles pass, the two lonely survivors tentatively begin to trust each other, forming a bond that marks the difference between life and death in this treacherous land.
Arriving in San Antonio, the reunion is neither happy nor welcome. The captain must hand Johanna over to an aunt and uncle she does not remember—strangers who regard her as an unwanted burden. A respectable man, Captain Kidd is faced with a terrible choice: abandon the girl to her fate or become—in the eyes of the law—a kidnapper himself.

雪人一役之后,身心受创的警探哈利·霍勒来到香港疗伤,然而,挪威一桩骇人听闻的连环杀人案和病重父亲的牵绊让他告别香港的颓废生活,重回奥斯陆。两名女性死者被自己的血液溺毙:体内的麻醉剂,牙齿上的钶钽金属,口中24个穿刺伤口……种种证据显示凶手是同一人。罕见的凶器,毫无线索的案情,无法揣测的动机,让查案陷入僵局。作为挪威唯一有追缉连环杀手经验的警探,哈利·霍勒开始与新搭档卡雅,老搭档卡翠娜、侯勒姆一同追查凶手。不久他发现一名失踪女性和三名死者有所关联——她们都曾在某个滑雪小屋度过一晚。哈利追查到当晚也在小屋的一名旅客,却发现他已经遇害;小屋里的住客登记簿,也被人刻意撕去。
当晚在小屋里究竟发生过什么事?是谁一一杀掉这些萍水相逢的旅客?为了深入凶手的内心,哈利决定求助于昔日的宿敌——在医院里日渐衰亡的连环杀手“雪人”。
然而他不知道,这些命案背后,原来是一场暗中策划已久的猎捕游戏……

1944年,在二战的硝烟中,《刀锋》出现在饱受战争煎熬的读者面前。实际上,本书的写作是在第二次世界大战以前,是作者在美国游历时写就的。讲述的故事发生在第一次世界大战前后。美国青年莱雷为好友在战争中猝然死亡,而开始向自己的内心展开深刻的追问:既然世间有善,为何恶亦相生?战后,拉里在故乡感受着美国建设一个“宏伟而繁荣的时代”的热潮,却难以置身其间。他执拗地要寻求心中那个让他难以割舍的疑问。他在书籍中发掘,在静思中梳理。为此,他几乎投入了自己全部的精力与热情,甚至解除了与恋人伊莎贝尔的婚约。之后远遁法国,再后,开始周游世界。在印度,他从东方的《奥义书》踏上了心灵自我完善之路。

A compelling novel of desire, secrecy, and sexual identity, In One Person is a story of unfulfilled love—tormented, funny, and affecting—and an impassioned embrace of our sexual differences. Not least, it is an intimate portrait of the solitariness of a bisexual man who is dedicated to making himself “worthwhile.” Beginning with his first love—an older, transgender woman—and including the classmates and lovers he will lose to AIDS, William Abbott makes an unforgettable statement about sexual repression in America.

一条华丽的新汽轮下水,交响曲中响起一个不谐和音--“菲佛之梦”,它一路飞奔,将这条大河上的所有快船抛到身后。但它追逐的不是第一快船的荣誉,而是鲜血,因为驱策它的是古老的血族吸血鬼。“菲佛之梦”一路行来,将密西西比搅成一条血河;而它自身,也渐渐变成一条血船。吸血鬼与人、吸血鬼之间,爱恨情仇,无不浸透在浓稠的血浆之中。
但是,从血泊中,诞生了最伟大的情感:友谊和希望。

Sometimes it's the little lies that turn out to be the most lethal. . . . A murder... . . . a tragic accident... . . . or just parents behaving badly?
What's indisputable is that someone is dead. But who did what?
"Big Little Lies" follows three women, each at a crossroads: Madeline is a force to be reckoned with. She's funny and biting, passionate, she remembers everything and forgives no one. Her ex-husband and his yogi new wife have moved into her beloved beachside community, and their daughter is in the same kindergarten class as Madeline's youngest ("how "is this possible?). And to top it all off, Madeline's teenage daughter seems to be choosing Madeline's ex-husband over her. (How. Is. This. Possible?).
Celeste is the kind of beautiful woman who makes the world stop and stare. While she may seem a bit flustered at times, who wouldn't be, with those rambunctious twin boys? Now that the boys are starting school, Celeste and her husband look set to become the king and queen of the school parent body. But royalty often comes at a price, and Celeste is grappling with how much more she is willing to pay. New to town, single mom Jane is so young that another mother mistakes her for the nanny. Jane is sad beyond her years and harbors secret doubts about her son. But why? While Madeline and Celeste soon take Jane under their wing, none of them realizes how the arrival of Jane and her inscrutable little boy will affect them all.
"Big Little Lies" is a brilliant take on ex-husbands and second wives, mothers and daughters, schoolyard scandal, and the dangerous little lies we tell ourselves just to survive.
