Light on Snow（ISBN=） 英文原版

‘Shreve’s style is fluent and unpretentious, with an
irresistible rhythmic and narrative impetus that keeps you up,
reading ever faster, all night…Perceptive, gripping and
ultimately exhilarating, this is a very fine book indeed’ Sue
Gaisford, INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY *’This is Shreve at her poised
best, and her controlled, crisply understated prose makes her
emotive subject all the more affecting’ DAILY MAIL * ‘In a world
teeming with novels which do not live up to their hype, it is a
treat to read one whose emotional depth belies its simple- seeming
exterior. LIGHT ON SNOW is a gem of a book by the daintiest of
storytellers’ Max Davidson, SUNDAY TELEGRAPH *’Full of emotional
depth, it’s not a comfortable read but one that will stay with you
a long time’ Star Choice, DAILY MIRROR *’Emotionally rich…it’s
the literary equivalent of a snuggly blanket on a snowy night’
MARIE CLAIRE *’Shreve delivers a skilled and very readable book’
SUNDAY TRIBUNE (IRELAND).

What makes a family? That’s what twelve-year-old Nicky Dillon
wonders after she and her widowed father discover a wailing
abandoned baby in the snow-filled woods near their New Hampshire
home. Through the days that follow, the Dillons and an unexpected
visitor who soon turns up at their door-a young woman evidently
haunted by her own terrible choices-face a thicket of decisions,
each seeming to carry equal possibilities of heartbreak and
redemption. Writing with all the emotional resonance that has drawn
millions of readers around the world to her fiction, Anita Shreve
unfolds in Light on Snow a tender and surprising novel about love
and its consequences.
