书籍简介

一个小男孩迷恋地回到超市的三明治柜台，被在那里工作的女人的美丽所吸引。她冷漠的举止和电蓝色的眼睑使他感到了他认知中从未有过的快乐。他称她为 "冰三文治小姐"，因为他只想整天看着她冷酷地将三明治装进袋子。但生活一直在阻碍他--他心爱的祖母生病了，与他的同学Tutti的友谊也在动摇，因为Tutti在邀请他进入她的私人世界。

《冰三文治小姐》诙谐、亲切、精彩，对正在逝去的青春的天真和智慧进行了深刻的描述。

A young boy returns obsessively to a supermarket sandwich counter, entranced by the beauty of the woman who works there. Her aloof demeanour and electric blue eyelids make him feel the most intense joy he's ever known. He calls her Ms Ice Sandwich, and he wants nothing more than to spend his days watching her coolly slip sandwiches into bags.

But life keeps getting in the way - there's his beloved grandmother's illness, and a faltering friendship with his classmate Tutti, who she invites him into her private world. Wry, intimate and wonderfully skewed, Ms Ice Sandwich is a poignant depiction of the naivety and wisdom of youth, just as it is passing.
