内容简介 Book Description
Once divorced and once widowed, twenty-nine-year-old Sydney is trying to regain her footing when she takes a job tutoring the daughter of a well-to-do couple at their stunning seaside cottage. But when the family’s two grown sons arrive – both of them handsome, competitive, and enraptured by Sydney – the fragile existence she has rebuilt is threatened. With the subtle language and brilliant insight that have made her beloved of readers the world over, Anita Shreve weaves a novel about the longing for family and the supreme courage it takes to love.
作者简介 Anita Shreve is the critically acclaimed author of twelve previous novels, including A Wedding in December, The Pilot's Wife, which was a selection of Oprah's Book Club, and The Weight of Water, which was a finalist for England's Orange Prize. She lives in Massachusetts.
