书籍简介

"就像杜鲁门-卡波特的《冷血》一样，德-格雷戈里奥采用了一个真实的故事，并揭示了生活中无法做到的事情。非凡的。"--格拉齐亚

伊琳娜与她的丈夫和她的双胞胎女儿的生活井然有序。作为生活在瑞士的意大利人，她是一名律师。有一天，事情发生了变化。婚姻在没有明显创伤的情况下结束了，但在一个似乎与其他地方一样的周末，女儿的父亲带着阿莱西亚和莉维亚离开了他。他们消失了。

几天后，这个男人自杀了。女孩们的下落不明。

康西塔-德-格雷戈里奥把这个真实故事中未经修饰的、可怕的事实，体现在主人公的声音中。在快速而紧迫的叙述中，她揭开了这些创伤性事件的面纱，讲述了一个失去孩子的母亲的故事--这是一个没有任何词语可以形容的状态。

《遗失的单词》是一个紧迫的故事，也是一个脆弱而勇敢的女人的激烈写照，它深入到伊琳娜的思想和记忆中，她抓住了真相的碎片，一片一片地将她的生活重新缝合起来。

"Like Truman Capote's In Cold Blood, De Gregorio takes a true story and reveals what life cannot. Extraordinary."-Grazia

Irina's life with her husband and her twin daughters is orderly. An Italian living in Switzerland, she works as a lawyer. One day, something breaks. The marriage ends without apparent trauma, but on a weekend seemingly like any other, the girls' father takes Alessia and Livia away with him. They disappear.

A few days later the man takes his own life. Of the girls, there is no trace.

Concita De Gregorio takes the unadorned, terrible facts of this true story and embodies the protagonist's voice. In a narrative that is fast and urgent, she unravels these traumatic events to tell the story of a mother bereft of her children - a state for which there is no word.

An urgently told story and a fierce portrait of a woman in all her frailty and courage, The Missing Word delves deep into Irina's thoughts and memories as she grasps at the shreds of truth and, piece by piece, stitches her life back together.
