内容介绍

PULITZER PRIZE FINALlist - NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FINALlist - 《醉树之果》畅销书作者的作品，一部令人眼花缭乱、万花筒般的回忆录，

重新找回了她家族异世界的遗产。

年度最佳图书： 时代》、《NPR》、《Vulture》、《人物》、《波士顿环球报》、《虚荣心日报》、《ESQUIRE》等杂志评选为年度最佳图书

"罗哈斯-孔特雷拉斯重新认识了自己家族的过去，将他们的故事与个人叙事交织在一起，揭开了暴力、大男子主义和殖民主义的遗产......在这个过程中，

她写出了一部令人着迷的、颠覆传统的祖先史。

对于英格丽德-罗哈斯-孔特雷拉斯（Ingrid Rojas Contreras）来说，魔法是家族遗传。

英格丽德-罗哈斯-孔特雷拉斯（Ingrid Rojas Contreras）在上世纪八九十年代哥伦比亚的政治暴力环境中长大，

家里挤满了她母亲的算命客户，她是一个很难给人惊喜的孩子。她的外祖父诺诺（Nono）是一位著名的巫师，

一位拥有家族所谓 "秘密 "的社区治疗师：拥有与逝者对话、预知未来、治疗疾病和拨云见日的能力。作为第一位继承 "秘密 "的女性，

罗哈斯-孔特雷拉斯的母亲也同样强大。她能同时出现在两个地方，她甚至能用一杯水驱散最顽固的灵魂。

罗哈斯-孔特雷拉斯 20 多岁时在美国生活，头部受伤导致失忆。当她恢复部分记忆时，家人兴奋地告诉她，

这种情况以前也发生过： 几十年前，妈妈也曾因摔倒而失忆。当她恢复记忆时，她已经获得了 "秘密"。

2012 年，罗哈斯-孔特雷拉斯在玛米和她的姐妹们共同梦想的驱使下，以及她自己在失忆后重新认识家族历史的强烈冲动下，

与母亲一起踏上了前往哥伦比亚挖掘诺诺遗骸的旅程。罗哈斯-孔特雷拉斯在妈妈这个难以捉摸、固执而又常常逗人发笑的导游的带领下，

追溯她的土著血统和西班牙血统，揭开暴力和僵化的殖民叙事，最终将她的混血儿家族分成两个阵营：相信 "秘密 "是一种恩赐的阵营和深信 "秘密 "是一种诅咒的阵营。

罗哈斯-孔特雷拉斯（Rojas Contreras）将比任何小说都更迷人的家族故事、复活的哥伦比亚历史和她个人对现实界限的深刻思考交织在一起，

写出了她穿越难以理解的世界、继承遗产的故事。这部作品是对讲故事作为一种治愈艺术的力量的光辉证明，也是对拥抱非凡的邀请。

“Rojas Contreras reacquaints herself with her family’s past, weaving their stories with personal narrative, unraveling legacies of violence, machismo and colonialism… In the process, she has written a spellbinding and genre-defying ancestral history.”—New York Times Book Review 

For Ingrid Rojas Contreras, magic runs in the family. Raised amid the political violence of 1980s and '90s Colombia, in a house bustling with her mother’s fortune-telling clients, she was a hard child to surprise. Her maternal grandfather, Nono, was a renowned curandero, a community healer gifted with what the family called “the secrets”: the power to talk to the dead, tell the future, treat the sick, and move the clouds. And as the first woman to inherit “the secrets,” Rojas Contreras’ mother was just as powerful. Mami delighted in her ability to appear in two places at once, and she could cast out even the most persistent spirits with nothing more than a glass of water.

This legacy had always felt like it belonged to her mother and grandfather, until, while living in the U.S. in her twenties, Rojas Contreras suffered a head injury that left her with amnesia. As she regained partial memory, her family was excited to tell her that this had happened before: Decades ago Mami had taken a fall that left her with amnesia, too. And when she recovered, she had gained access to “the secrets.”

In 2012, spurred by a shared dream among Mami and her sisters, and her own powerful urge to relearn her family history in the aftermath of her memory loss, Rojas Contreras joins her mother on a journey to Colombia to disinter Nono’s remains. With Mami as her unpredictable, stubborn, and often amusing guide, Rojas Contreras traces her lineage back to her Indigenous and Spanish roots, uncovering the violent and rigid colonial narrative that would eventually break her mestizo family into two camps: those who believe “the secrets” are a gift, and those who are convinced they are a curse.

Interweaving family stories more enchanting than those in any novel, resurrected Colombian history, and her own deeply personal reckonings with the bounds of reality, Rojas Contreras writes her way through the incomprehensible and into her inheritance. The result is a luminous testament to the power of storytelling as a healing art and an invitation to embrace the extraordinary.
