书籍简介

尽管她的家庭经济状况不佳，但戴安娜-阿蒂尔的童年--在诺福克的一座可爱的房子里度过--是幸福的。1932年，她爱上了保罗：一个辅导她弟弟的本科生。几年内，她搬到了牛津大学学习，他们已经订婚。然后，一切都以残酷的方式破灭了。

阿蒂尔的处女作也是她个人化的作品：对个人悲剧的剖析以及在严重的失望和孤独中重建生活的挣扎。《不只是一封信》在整个二战期间展开，是一个关于爱与失去、心碎与希望的鼓舞人心的故事，也是她性格力量的证明--她的活泼、诚实和敏锐。

Despite her family's ailing finances, Diana Athill's childhood - spent in a lovely house in Norfolk - was blissful. In 1932, she fell in love with Paul: an undergraduate who tutored her younger brother. Within several years, she had moved to Oxford to study and they were engaged to be married. Then everything fell apart in the cruellest possible way.

Athill's debut is also her most personal: a dissection of personal tragedy and the struggle to rebuild her life amid severe disappointment and loneliness. Unfolding throughout the Second World War, Instead of a Letter is an inspiring story of love and loss, heartbreak and hope, and a testament to her strength of character - her vivacity, honesty and perspicacity.
