Memories of Summer BSY544

US$12.95

It is the mid-1950s, and Lyrics family's dream is finally coming true -- they are moving from the backwoods of southwest Virginia to Flint, Michigan, where her father hopes to get an assembly-line job for a car manufacturer. Thirteen-year-old Lyric has always been close to and admired her older sister, Summer, who is pretty and popular. But in their new hometown, Summer unexpectedly and drastically changes. She becomes remote, speaks gibberish, stops taking care of her appearance, wont go to high school, and then seems to have hallucinations. Lyric and her father try to cope with the devastating effects of Summers mental illness, but, sadly, there is no bringing the old Summer back. Ruth White has written a heart-wrenching novel which, despite the sad and serious subject matter, offers readers humor and hope and most of all love.

夏天是我的姐姐,也是我最想念的季节。夏天怕黑、怕电,时常对着群山、月亮喁喁细语。我从不觉得和别人有些不一样的夏天古怪。可尤兰达对我说:和别人不一样,会被他们“啄死”。

上帝想告诉我:那些与我们不一样的人,究竟需要什么。于是,上帝选中了我的姐姐夏天。夏天越来越古怪,也离我越来越远。可是上帝啊,我并不想失去她。

By Ruth White, Paperback, Simplified Chinese characters, 148 pages, 8.25"x5.78"
