书籍简介

来自国际畅销书、妇女文学奖得主《荷兰屋》的不可抗拒的散文和回忆录集。

任何故事的开始都会有结局。作为一名作家，安-帕切特知道她的小说会有什么结果。然而，生活往往会出现我们意想不到的转折。巴切特在探索家庭、友谊、婚姻、失败、成功以及这一切意味着什么时，思考了这一真理。

作为一个文学炼金术士，巴切特从她的经历深处挖掘出黄金：既是自画像又是风景的文章，每篇都充满了情感和丰富的洞察力。

从个人的--她对三个被她称为父亲的男人的描述；意外地与汤姆-汉克斯建立了改变生活的友谊；当有人问你为什么没有孩子时如何回答--到崇高的--在哈佛自然历史博物馆开门之前探索它；史努比的意外影响；编织的重要性--每篇文章都将特殊性转化为普遍性，让我们都重新看到我们自己的世界。

《这些宝贵的日子》具有启发性、穿透力、幽默和慷慨，是与我们伟大的在世作家之一共度的欢乐时光。

An irresistible collection of essays and memoir from the internationally bestselling, Women's Prize-winning author of The Dutch House

'Any story that starts will also end.' As a writer, Ann Patchett knows what the outcome of her fiction will be. Life, however, often takes turns we do not see coming. Patchett ponders this truth as she explores family, friendship, marriage, failure, success, and what it all means.

A literary alchemist, Patchett plumbs the depths of her experiences to create gold: essays that are both self-portrait and landscape, each vibrant with emotion and rich in insight.

Ranging from the personal - her portrait of the three men she called her fathers; unexpectedly falling into a life-changing friendship with Tom Hanks; how to answer when someone asks why you don't have children - to the sublime - exploring the Harvard Museum of Natural History before its doors open; the unexpected influence of Snoopy; the importance of knitting - each essay transforms the particular into the universal, letting us all see our own worlds anew.

Illuminating, penetrating, funny and generous, These Precious Days is joyful time spent in the company of one of our greatest living authors.
