书籍简介

对于艾玛·克莱恩和艾米莉·圣约翰·曼德尔的粉丝来说，《西行的女人们》是一部引人入胜、充满希望的处女作——它既像一场狂热的梦境，又像一场反乌托邦式的公路之旅，走向一个令人瞠目结舌的结局。

“一部足以与玛格丽特·阿特伍德相媲美的大胆处女作。”——乔伊斯·卡罗尔·奥茨

一切始于一种渴望。

在全国各地的家庭中，18岁到35岁的女性开始放慢脚步。

疲惫。茫然。躁动不安。

她们被太平洋吸引，仿佛那里在召唤她们回家。她们抛弃了生活——工作、家庭，甚至她们自己。一旦抵达西部，她们便永远消失了。

故事的核心是三个年轻女子，她们被某种无法抗拒的力量所牵引。

艾米循着失踪好友的踪迹，找到了一个名叫“吹笛人”的男人——他以带领受感染的女性西行而闻名。

蒂妮饱受折磨，精神濒临崩溃，她望着派珀家的厢型车窗外，紧紧抓住一个模糊的记忆。

而伊芙，一位前记者，正在追寻一个可能吞噬她的新闻。

她们都徘徊在转变的边缘，被未知所吸引，都在寻找出路。

For fans of Emma Cline and Emily St. John Mandel, Westward Women is a hypnotic and hopeful debut―part fever dream, part dystopian road trip that claws its way towards a jaw-dropping finale.

"An audacious first novel to set beside Margaret Atwood." - Joyce Carol Oates

It starts with an itch.

In homes across the country, women ages eighteen to thirty-five begin to slow down.

Tired. Blank. Restless.

Drawn to the Pacific Ocean like it’s calling them home. They abandon their lives―jobs, families, their very selves. And once they reach the West, they vanish forever.

At the center of the story are three young women caught in the pull of something unstoppable.

Aimee follows the trail of her missing best friend to a man called the Piper―known for leading infected women West.

Teenie, afflicted and unraveling, clings to a single memory as she looks out the window of the Piper’s van.

And Eve, a former journalist, is chasing the story that might just consume her.

Each on the edge of transformation. Drawn toward the unknown. In search of a way forward.
