亚马逊编辑评选的2025年度图书 | 科克斯书评评选的2025年度小说

本书出自广受好评的《宠物》作者之手，讲述了一个架空世界的故事：二战没有一方获胜，三兄弟成为孤儿院里仅存的男孩。孤儿院里隐藏着一个黑暗的秘密，而这正是他们存在的意义，也是他们生存的关键。

“宏大而震撼……充满活力，饱含灵魂。”——《纽约时报》

在二战结局与历史记载截然不同的1979年，英国由一个目标险恶、结盟的政府统治。在汉普郡的乡村，十三岁的三胞胎文森特、劳伦斯和威廉是斯科特船长男童之家仅存的居民。他们每天都须服药，以抵御一种神秘疾病的侵袭，许多朋友都死于这种疾病。那些幸运康复的孩子可以搬到马盖特——一个充满传奇色彩的海滨度假胜地。

在附近的埃克塞特，十三岁的南希和父母过着与世隔绝的生活。父母溺爱她，却从不让她出门。随着三胞胎的生活开始与南希交织，一个关于他们身世和可能命运的可怕真相也逐渐浮出水面。孩子们须团结起来，才能逃离——并活下去。

From the acclaimed author of Pet, in an alternate world where nobody won WWII, three brothers are the only boys left in an orphanage whose dark secret is the reason for their existence—and the key to their survival. 

"Grand and devastating ... brims with vitality—and soul." —The New York Times

After a very different outcome to WWII than the one history recorded, 1979 England is a country ruled by a government whose aims have sinister underpinnings and alliances. In the Hampshire countryside, thirteen-year-old triplets Vincent, Lawrence and William are the last remaining residents at the Captain Scott Home for Boys, where every day they must take medicine to protect themselves from a mysterious illness to which many of their friends have succumbed. The lucky ones who recover are allowed to move to Margate, a seaside resort of mythical proportions. 

In nearby Exeter, thirteen-year-old Nancy lives a secluded life with her parents, who dote on her but never let her leave the house. As the triplets' lives begin to intersect with Nancy’s, bringing to light a horrifying truth about their origins and their likely fate, the children must unite to escape—and survive.
