《无敌破坏王2:大闹互联网》 The Secret Keeper 《她一生的秘密》 This novel from the New York Times and internationally best-selling author of “The Distant Hours” is a spellbinding* mix of mystery, thievery, murder, and enduring* love. During a party at the family farm in the English countryside, 16-year-old Laurel Nicolson has escaped to her childhood tree house and is dreaming of the future. She spies a stranger coming up the road and sees her mother speak to him. Before the afternoon is over, Laurel will witness* a shocking crime that challenges everything she knows about her family and especially her mother, Dorothy. Now, 50 years later, Laurel is a successful and well-regarded actress living in London. She returns to the family farm for Dorothy’s 90th birthday and finds herself overwhelmed by questions she has not thought about for decades. From pre-WWII England through the Blitz*, to the 1950s and beyond, discover the secret history of three strangers from vastly different worlds — Dorothy, Vivien, and Jimmy — who meet by chance in wartime London and whose lives are forever entwined. “The Secret Keeper” explores longings and dreams, the lengths people go to fulfill them, and the consequences* they can have. It is a story of lovers, friends, dreamers, and schemers told — in Kate Morton’s signature style — against a backdrop of events that changed the world. Both English and Chinese versions are available at online bookstores. (SD-Agencies) |
