书籍简介

“《金色男孩》不仅是一部雄心勃勃的小说，而且——更重要的是，在我看来——它还妙趣横生，时而令人捧腹大笑，时而又令人心碎。帕特里夏·芬恩，精彩！”——理查德·鲁索，《帝国瀑布》和《北浴三部曲》的作者

一封意想不到的信将一对夫妇带回了他们的过去，也给了他们一次救赎的机会。

在被迫告别了好莱坞的辉煌事业后，斯塔福德·霍普金斯和妻子艾格尼丝隐居在毛伊岛的一处豪华庄园。两人都无奈地接受了这看似天堂般的生活，却又都感到格格不入。

正当斯塔福德准备彻底封闭自己时，一封信带来了一个惊人的消息。他被指定为四个孩子的监护人，而他之前从未听说过这些孩子的存在：他们是他已故童年好友鲍比·谢泼德的孙辈。鲍比的亡灵一直萦绕在斯塔福德的心头，让他无法忽视。

回到那个贫瘠的农耕小镇，以及他试图遗忘数十年的黑暗秘密，斯塔福德被迫直面过去，重建未来，并改变家人和四个突然由他照顾的年轻人的命运。

《金色男孩》既诙谐幽默又感人至深，是一部引人入胜的处女作，讲述了爱、怜悯和第二次机会的故事。

"The Golden Boy is not just an astoundingly ambitious novel, but also—and more importantly, in my opinion—a wildly entertaining one, by turns hilarious and heartbreaking. Bravo, Patricia Finn!" ―Richard Russo, author of Empire Falls and the North Bath Trilogy

An unexpected letter sends a man and his wife into their pasts—and offers them both a shot at redemption.

After an involuntary retirement from his high-flying Hollywood career, Stafford Hopkins has retreated to a luxury estate on Maui, along with his wife Agnes, both grimly resigned to life in a paradise where neither feels fully at home.

Stafford is ready to retreat into himself, too, when a letter arrives with shocking news. Stafford has been named guardian of four children he didn’t know existed: the grandchildren of his late childhood friend, Bobby Shepherd, whose ghost Stafford can no longer ignore.

Returning to both the hardscrabble farming town and the dark secret he’d tried to forget for decades, Stafford is forced to confront his past in order to rebuild his future—and to redirect the fates of his family and the four young people suddenly in his care.

Slyly funny and deeply moving, The Golden Boy is a captivating debut about love, mercy, and second chances.
