书籍简介

"博伊德的这部大气磅礴的新小说是一个关于爱与救赎的故事"（《纽约时报》），证实了他作为约瑟夫-康拉德和萨默塞特-毛姆的宏大叙事传统的继承人的声誉。在1936年的洛杉矶，当她长期分居的父亲向建筑师凯-费舍尔讲述她秘密的父母身份背后的故事时，他将读者带入一个关于可怕的谋杀和非法激情的故事中，30年后他仍然对这个故事感到厌恶。

"A perfect-pitch story of love and redemption" (The New York Times), Boyd's atmospheric new novel confirms his reputation as heir to the grand narrative traditions of Joseph Conrad and Somerset Maugham. In 1936 Los angeles, as her long-estranged father tells architect Kay Fischer the story behind her secret parentage, he plunges readers into a tale of grisly murders and an illicit passion that still obsseses him 30 years later.
