书籍简介

获奖小说家玛吉-奥法雷尔(Maggie O'Farrell)曾17次直面死亡，并活着讲述了这个故事。在这本令人震惊的回忆录中，《哈姆雷特》的纽约时报畅销书作者分享了她的濒临死亡的经历，这些经历贯穿并定义了她的人生。

儿时的疾病使她卧床一年，她没有想到能活下来。少年时渴望逃离，但几乎以灾难告终。在一条偏僻的小路上与一个不安的人相遇。可怕的是，她每天都在努力保护她的女儿，因为她的病情使她在生活的无数危险面前变得难以想象的脆弱。

在这里，奥法雷尔将这些不相干的遭遇拼接在一起，讲述了她的整个人生故事。她用充满电流和克制情感的紧绷的散文，捕捉到了在表面之下的危险，并照亮了生命本身的珍贵、美丽和神秘之处。

不要错过玛吉-奥法雷尔的新小说《婚姻画像》，该书将于9月出版。

On seventeen occasions, award-winning novelist Maggie O'Farrell has stared death in the face--and lived to tell the tale. In this astonishing memoir, the New York Times bestselling author of Hamnet shares the near-death experiences that have punctuated and defined her life.

The childhood illness that left her bedridden for a year, which she was not expected to survive. A teenage yearning to escape that nearly ended in disaster. An encounter with a disturbed man on a remote path. And, most terrifying of all, an ongoing, daily struggle to protect her daughter from a condition that leaves her unimaginably vulnerable to life's myriad dangers.

Here, O'Farrell stiches together these discrete encounters to tell the story of her entire life. In taut prose that vibrates with electricity and restrained emotion, she captures the perils running just beneath the surface, and illuminates the preciousness, beauty, and mysteries of life itself.

Don't miss Maggie O'Farrell's new novel, The Marriage Portrait, coming in September!
