Rescue A 英文原版

　　The car crash should have killed her. But rookie paramedic
Peter Webster takes the emergency call, and helps the young woman,
Sheila Arsenault, to survive. After the accident, she haunts his
thoughts, despite his misgivings about getting involved with a
patient. Soon he is embroiled in an intense love affair and in
Sheila’s troubled life.
　　Eighteen years later, Sheila is long gone and Peter is raising
their daughter, Rowan, alone. But Rowan is veering dangerously off
course and for the first time in their quiet life together Peter
fears for her future. He seeks out the only person who may be able
to help Rowan, although Sheila’s return is sure to unleash all the
questions Peter has been carefully keeping at bay: Why would a
mother leave her family? How did the marriage of two people in love
unravel?

　　”From its opening car crash, ‘Rescue’ is worth the ride….No
one can create the beginning of a complex relationship like
Shreve….Shreve gets deep inside these characters, and her
insights draw us into their lives…. A story of hope and fear, of
promises made and broken…. Shreve creates a little world, peoples
it with believable characters, and puts them through agonizing and
joyful moments without a false note or a dissonant figure of
speech.” (Washington Post Brigitte Weeks )
　　”A paramedic and the troubled young beauty he saves propel
Shreve’s engrossing latest…With the insistent thrum of
life-and-death EMT calls as background, Shreve’s vividly told tale
captures the deep-seated fears of mortality and loneliness that can
drive us to test the bounds of family and forgiveness.” (People
Joanna Powell )
　　”Rescue is Shreve at her best….Shreve knows love may be
intense, life-changing and passionate, but it is never enough. Her
characters bruise each other as much as they comfort each
other….”Rescue” is full of themes Shreve loves: How a moment can
change a life; loss and love; forgiveness and pain.” (Associated
Press Mary Foster )
　　”Compelling…. Fans of Anita Shreve will likely devour this new
novel.” (Entertainment Weekly Sara Vilkomerson )
　　”A thoroughly absorbing, perfectly paced domestic drama.
Alternating between life-and-death scenarios Pete encounters on the
job and the fraught family tension between father and daughter,
Shreve pulls readers right into her story.” (Booklist Joanne
Wilkinson )
