AUTHOR OF THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER

ROOM

知名電影改編作品《房間》作者愛瑪．唐納修又一力作。收錄十四篇橫亙四百餘年歐美歷史短篇小說。描寫移民、逃犯、流浪漢、掏金客以及偽幣者、律師與奴隸。引領讀者一路從清教徒時期的麻塞諸塞州，至美國革命獨立戰爭烽煙下的紐澤西州；從戰前的路易斯安那州到六○年代的多倫多高速公路。這群人穿越無數邊境，各自懷抱著不同的夢想。當中有人為了愛、有些為了追名逐利、有的選擇隱姓埋名抑或被迫踏上旅途。其共通點，這群人全是人生旅途中迷途羔羊。藉由唐納修細膩的筆觸，刻劃出長達四個世紀的漂泊，深刻反映出當今非法移民的嚴重問題。

A trainer coaxes his beloved elephant onto a ship carrying him to a life of fame. A mother searches for her baby girl, sent away on a train headed west. A teenage soldier wrestles with his conscience far from home.

The fascinating characters who roam the pages of Emma Donoghue's stories have all gone astray. They are emigrants, runaways, drifters, gold miners and counterfeiters, attorneys and slaves. They cross countless borders. They travel for love or money, incognito or under duress.

The celebrated author of Room transports us from Puritan Massachusetts to Revolutionary-era New Jersey, from antebellum Louisiana to a highway in Toronto, lighting up four centuries of wanderings that have profound echoes in the present.
