书籍简介

继《只要柠檬树生长》之后，该作家又带来了一部感人至深的小说，讲述了一位叙利亚裔美国女孩用一本神奇的素描本将悲痛化为艺术，创作出描绘母亲在叙利亚生活的奇迹般的壁画。

十七岁的吉哈德·达巴格（Jihad Dabbagh）从小就对色彩有着感知力，这是她家族女性拥有的众多神奇天赋之一。但吉哈德的这种天赋会随着情绪而变化。当抑郁袭来时，世界仿佛变成了一片没有色彩的绿洲；而母亲的突然离世，更让她眼中的世界变成了永恒的灰色。

吉哈德的家人被悲剧击垮，他们不相信她失去了对色彩的感知。父亲将她送入精英学校布拉克斯顿学院（Braxton Academy）完成高三学业。在那里，吉哈德的名字和头巾让她成为了众矢之的。她的避风港是一本用叙利亚家乡的一棵树雕刻而成的旧素描本——她对叙利亚的了解于母亲讲述的故事。吉哈德已经一年多没碰过画笔了，但她发现自己能将伤痛、痛苦和悲伤的色彩融入画作，描绘出母亲在叙利亚的旅程。

当这幅壁画的涂鸦神奇地出现在纽约各处时，她的作品迅速走红，引起全世界的关注，随之而来的是法律制裁的威胁。为了重拾话语权，吉哈德须在母亲坚韧不拔的故事指引下，为自己和布拉克斯顿描绘出一个全新的未来。

From the celebrated author of As Long as the Lemon Trees Grow comes a poignant novel about a Syrian American girl who uses a magical sketchbook to turn her grief into art, painting miraculous murals of her mother’s life in Syria.

Seventeen-year-old Jihad Dabbagh has always seen life with a heightened sense for colors, one of many magical blessings the women in her family possess. But Jihad's gift changes depending on her mood. When depression sets in, the world is a colorless oasis, and in the wake of her mother's sudden death, the world has become a permanent shade of grey.

Broken by tragedy, Jihad's family doesn't believe her color loss. Her father sends her to the elite Braxton Academy to finish her senior year. There, Jihad's name and hijab put a target on her back. Her haven comes in the form of an old sketchbook carved from a tree in her hometown in Syria—a country she only knew through her mother's stories. Jihad hasn't picked up a brush in over a year, but finds herself channeling the colors of her hurt, pain, and grief as she paints the story of her mother's journey in Syria.

When graffiti of that same mural starts magically popping up all over New York, her art goes viral and the world takes notice, the threat of legal consequences is imminent. To reclaim her voice, Jihad will have to paint a new future for herself and Braxton, guided by the resilience of her mother's story.
