观察者“2018小说新面孔”

这是一个关于生存的故事。

萨尔花了将近一年的时间才开始计划。现在Sal知道很多东西。比如如何建造一个庇护所,如何生火,如何估计距离,诱捕兔子和发射气枪。以及如何保护她的妹妹Peppa。因为Peppa十岁了,这是Sal十岁的时候Robert开始和她交往的。

《萨尔》以萨尔独特的声音讲述,充满了苏格兰乡村令人目眩的宁静之美,讲述了一个令人不安、振奋人心的生存故事,讲述了陌生人的善良,以及姐妹之爱的不可抑制的力量;爱能让我们做一些不平凡和不可思议的事情。

AN OBSERVER 'NEW FACE OF FICTION 2018'

This is a story of something like survival.

Sal planned it for almost a year before they ran. And now Sal knows a lot of stuff. Like how to build a shelter and start a fire. How to estimate distances, snare rabbits and shoot an airgun. And how to protect her sister, Peppa. Because Peppa is ten, which is how old Sal was when Robert started on her.

Told in Sal's distinctive voice, and filled with the silent, dizzying beauty of rural Scotland, Sal is a disturbing, uplifting story of survival, of the kindness of strangers, and the irrepressible power of sisterly love; a love that can lead us to do extraordinary and unimaginable things.

媒体评价

"Powered by Sal's innate sense of justice and her fierce love for her sweary, show-stealing sister, this original, bittersweet tale effortlessly beguiles" (Daily Mail)

"Incredibly engaging . . . Mick Kitson's depiction of the siblings' relationship is spot on, as is his description of the beauties of the natural world as seen through Sal's eyes . . . [A] gutsy debut" (Sunday Express)

"Sal is an inspiring novel that feels honest and fastidious. It introduces the theme of redemption and fresh beginnings without shying from the awful truth" (Financial Times)
