书籍简介

*** 美国口碑轰动，刚刚登陆英国 ***

“我今年读过的超好的书之一”，《卫报》KALIANE BRADLEY “一本非凡的滑稽悲伤小说” 纽约时报

认识阿迪娜：一个在地球上从未感到宾至如归的女人 出生在当旅行者一号发射升空时，阿迪娜还是一个有着不同寻常感知能力的婴儿。她身材娇小，患有黄疸，她伸手去寻找温暖和光明。作为一个孩子，她认识到自己与众不同，尤其是因为她对遥远星球的奇怪了解。

然后一台传真机送到了家里。她的使命很明确：她须报道人类的奇事。随着阿迪娜长大，她发送了有关人类生存的恐惧和欢乐的传输。

但后来她开始怀疑。有没有可能还有其他像她一样的人？阿迪娜以不同的眼光看待我们的世界。她温柔、敏锐而有趣的观察为我们提供了一个安静而快乐的新视角，让我们看到了地球上的生命、了解我们自己的挑战以及在这个浩瀚的宇宙中找到我们同胞的奇迹。

“美丽之地是一个奇迹。我会永远重读它”KAVEH AKBAR“美丽、搞笑、不凡脱俗……

。 Bertino 是一位不凡脱俗的天才’ TOMMY ORANGE ‘我会在余生向人们推的一本书’ DAKOTA JOHNSON

*** THE US WORD-OF-MOUTH SENSATION, JUST LANDED IN THE UK ***

‘One of the best books I have read this year’ KALIANE BRADLEY, Guardian ‘A remarkable funny-sad novel’ New York Times

Meet Adina: a woman who has never felt at home on Earth Born at the moment when Voyager 1 is launched into space, Adina is a baby of unusual perception. Tiny and jaundiced, she reaches for warmth and light. As a child, she recognises she is different, not least because of her strange knowledge of a faraway planet.

Then a fax machine arrives at home. Her mission is clear: she must report on the oddities of humankind. As Adina grows up, she dispatches transmissions on the terrors and delights of human existence.

But then she starts to wonder. Is there a chance there are others like her out there?Adina sees our world differently. And her gentle, perceptive – and funny – observations offer a quietly joyful new view of life on Earth, the challenge of knowing ourselves and the miracle of finding our people in this vast universe.

‘Beautyland is a miracle. I’ll be rereading it forever’ KAVEH AKBAR ‘Beautiful and hilarious and transcendent . .

. Bertino is an other-worldly talent’ TOMMY ORANGE ‘A book that I will recommend to people for the rest of my life’ DAKOTA JOHNSON
