书籍简介

2001 年春天，周六晚上 2 点，28 岁的塞西莉·加德纳独自坐在纽约东村的一家廉价酒吧里，思考着自己的人生。她感到孤独，想念中西部，不知道自己是否能在大城市当一名记者——以及与相恋多年的男友马修分手是否是一个可怕的错误。

当塞西莉拿起电话给他打电话时，她听到旁边酒吧凳子上的一个男人说：“别这么做——你会后悔的。”某种东西告诉她要听从，在接下来的几个小时里——在几杯龙舌兰酒中——两人建立了一种意想不到的联系。第二天早上，两人都决定就这样了，塞西莉提醒自己反弹关系的危险。此外，他们的时机再糟糕不过了——格兰特正准备辞职搬到海外。然而，尽管他们面临重重阻碍，他们似乎还是无法说再见，在精心构建的生活中，塞西莉初次听从了内心而不是理智。

然后格兰特在 9/11 的混乱中消失了。塞西莉担心的坏情况会发生，她在一张失踪人员海报上看到了他的脸，意识到她并不是仅一个在寻找他的人。她发誓要发现真相，她的调查报道本能开始发挥作用。但问题很快就堆积如山：她到底有多了解格兰特？他真的爱过她吗？有可能爱上一个看起来不像他的男人吗？

《束缚的谎言》是一部令人着迷且情感共鸣的探索，探讨了我们对爱情和真理的永无止境的探索——在我们的人际关系、我们的事业以及我们内心深处。

It’s 2 A.M. on a Saturday night in the spring of 2001, and twenty-eight-year-old Cecily Gardner sits alone in a dive bar in New York’s East Village, questioning her life. Feeling lonesome and homesick for the Midwest, she wonders if she’ll ever make it as a reporter in the big city—and whether she made a terrible mistake in breaking up with her longtime boyfriend, Matthew. 

As Cecily reaches for the phone to call him, she hears a guy on the barstool next to her say, “Don’t do it—you’ll regret it.” Something tells her to listen, and over the next several hours—and shots of tequila—the two forge an unlikely connection. That should be it, they both decide the next morning, as Cecily reminds herself of the perils of a rebound relationship. Moreover, their timing couldn’t be worse—Grant is preparing to quit his job and move overseas. Yet despite all their obstacles, they can’t seem to say goodbye, and for the first time in her carefully constructed life, Cecily follows her heart instead of her head. 

Then Grant disappears in the chaos of 9/11. Fearing the worst, Cecily spots his face on a missing-person poster, and realizes she is not the only one searching for him. Her investigative reporting instincts kick into action as she vows to discover the truth. However, the questions pile up fast: How well did she really know Grant? Did he ever really love her? And is it possible to love a man who wasn’t who heseemed to be? 

The Lies That Bind is a mesmerizing and emotionally resonant exploration of the never-ending search for love and truth—in our relationships, our careers, and deep within our own hearts.
