书籍简介

“错综复杂，微妙难测。”——米兰达·弗朗斯，《每日电讯报》 20世纪90年代，在意大利中部马耶拉山区深处，一场残酷的谋杀案打破了当地社区的宁静。两名年轻女子被杀害，第三名则被弃尸。当时，露西亚二十岁，是幸存者，是她儿时的朋友。

如今，露西亚是一名理疗师，与丈夫分居，女儿阿曼达则在米兰学习。疫情迫使阿曼达回到佩斯卡拉附近的家中，她的经历永远地改变了她的生活。露西亚的记忆被重新唤醒，随之而来的是过去创伤的影响。故事以崎岖的亚平宁山脉为背景，错综复杂地交织着露西亚和阿曼达的个人挣扎，以及几十年前发生在她们家族土地上的那场悲剧的神秘性。

《脆弱时代》的灵感来自真实事件，讲述了个人韧性的故事，并评论了历史事件对个人生活和更广泛社区的不可磨灭的影响。

"Intricate and subtle."--Miranda France, The TelegraphIn the 1990s, deep in the Maiella mountains of Central Italy, a brutal crime shattered the peace of the local community. Two young women were murdered, a third left for dead. Lucia was twenty years old back then, and the only survivor, a childhood friend.

Now Lucia is a physiotherapist, separating from her husband, her daughter Amanda studying in Milan. When the pandemic forces Amanda to return to the family's home near Pescara, forever changed by her experiences, Lucia’s memories are reawakened, and with them the impact of past trauma. Set against the backdrop of the rugged Apennine mountains, the narrative intricately weaves Lucia and Amanda’s personal struggles with the mystery of the tragedy that marked their familial land decades earlier.

Inspired by true events, The Brittle Age is a tale of individual resilience, and a commentary on the indelible impact of historical events on personal lives and the broader community.
