「霧社事件」的發動真相到底是什麼？莫那魯道果真是賽德克人心目中的民族英雄？
今天的人，如何理解霧社事件？這一事件對後代又會留下什麼樣的痕跡？而賽德克人的悲劇命運又會在我們的意識當中，喚起什麼樣的回應？
一九三○年，在台灣中部的深山裡，一個叫霧社的地方，因為日軍的侵擾，泰雅族賽德克原住民的領袖莫那魯道，帶領族人起而反抗日本統治者，但卻被日軍殘酷無情的血腥鎮壓。將近七十年過後，作家舞鶴來到當年戰敗後原住民被流放的川中島，試圖理解為什麼會發生這一血腥屠殺事件；隨著他在部落所訪所見的餘生，以及他對歷史與當代情境的思索，舞鶴將以自身的體驗，帶領讀者一起探索另一個非官方版的霧社事件真相思索之旅。
《餘生》是舞鶴以當代觀點重新思考一九三○年發生在南投的「霧社事件」及「第二次霧社事件」。此書主要寫三件事：(1)探尋「霧社事件」的正當性與適切性；(2)租居部落時一位姑娘的歷史追尋之旅；(3)在部落所訪所見的餘生。
全書夾議夾敘，將此三事反覆寫成一氣，其中有歷史的反省，有深刻的生命洞見。舞鶴解構霧社事件的歷史神話，思索劫後餘生的滄桑，或幽默，或嘲諷，或悲憫，自然流露的情感，形成一部動人心弦的美麗史詩。

In this bestselling, page-turning saga, four generations of a poor Korean immigrant family fight to control their destiny in 20th-century Japan, exiled from a home they never knew.
In the early 1900s, teenaged Sunja, the adored daughter of a crippled fisherman, falls for a wealthy stranger at the seashore near her home in Korea. He promises her the world, but when she discovers she is pregnant-and that her lover is married-she refuses to be bought. Instead, she accepts an offer of marriage from a gentle, sickly minister passing through on his way to Japan. But her decision to abandon her home, and to reject her son's powerful father, sets off a dramatic saga that will echo down through the generations.
Richly told and profoundly moving,
is a story of love, sacrifice, ambition, and loyalty. From bustling street markets to the halls of Japan's finest universities to the pachinko parlors of the criminal underworld, Lee's complex and passionate characters-strong, stubborn women, devoted sisters and sons, fathers shaken by moral crisis-survive and thrive against the indifferent arc of history.

Here are the confessions of a vampire. Hypnotic, shocking, and chillingly erotic, this is a novel of mesmerizing beauty and astonishing force - a story of danger and flight, of love and loss, of suspense and resolution, and of the extraordinary power of the senses. It is a novel only Anne Rice could write.

In the late 1930s, civil war grips Spain. When General Franco and his Fascists succeed in overthrowing the government, hundreds of thousands are forced to flee in a treacherous journey over the mountains to the French border. Among them is Roser, a pregnant young widow, who finds her life intertwined with that of Victor Dalmau, an army doctor and the brother of her deceased love. In order to survive, the two must unite in a marriage neither of them desires.
Together with two thousand other refugees, they embark on the SS Winnipeg, a ship chartered by the poet Pablo Neruda, to Chile: “the long petal of sea and wine and snow.” As unlikely partners, they embrace exile as the rest of Europe erupts in world war. Starting over on a new continent, their trials are just beginning, and over the course of their lives, they will face trial after trial. But they will also find joy as they patiently await the day when they will be exiles no more. Through it all, their hope of returning to Spain keeps them going. Destined to witness the battle between freedom and repression as it plays out across the world, Roser and Victor will find that home might have been closer than they thought all along.
A masterful work of historical fiction about hope, exile, and belonging, A Long Petal of the Sea shows Isabel Allende at the height of her powers.
