商品描述

WINNER OF THE GILLER PRIZE - SHORTLISTED FOR THE BOOKER PRIZE - A breathtaking and ineffable new novel from the author of the international best sellers Fugitive Pieces and The Winter Vault--a novel of love and loyalty across generations, at once sweeping and intimate

1917. On a battlefield near the River Escaut, John lies in the aftermath of a blast, unable to move or feel his legs. Struggling to focus his thoughts, he is lost to memory as the snow falls--a chance encounter in a pub by a railway, a hot bath with his lover on a winter night.

1920. John has returned from war to North Yorkshire, near a different river. He is alive but still not whole. Reunited with Helena, an artist, he reopens his photography business and tries to keep on living. But the past erupts insistently into the present, as ghosts begin to surface in his pictures: ghosts with messages he cannot understand.

So begins a narrative that spans four generations of connections and consequences that ignite and reignite as the century unfolds. In radiant moments of desire, comprehension, longing, and transcendence, the sparks fly upward, working their transformations decades later.

Held is affecting and intensely beautiful, full of mystery, wisdom, and compassion, a novel by a writer at the height of her powers.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

吉勒獎得主 - 書籍獎入圍名單 - 來自國際暢銷書《逃亡片段》（Fugitive Pieces）和《冬季金庫》（The Winter Vault）作者的驚人且難以言喻的新小說——一部跨越世代的愛與忠誠的小說，既宏大又親密

1917年。在埃斯卡河（River Escaut）附近的戰場上，約翰（John）躺在爆炸的餘波中，無法移動或感覺到他的雙腿。努力集中思緒的他，隨著雪花飄落而迷失在記憶中——在鐵路旁的酒吧裡的偶然相遇，冬夜與情人共浴的溫暖。

1920年。約翰從戰爭中回到北約克郡（North Yorkshire），靠近另一條河。他活著，但仍然不完整。與藝術家海倫娜（Helena）重聚後，他重新開啟了他的攝影業務，努力繼續生活。但過去不斷地侵入現在，隨著鬼魂開始在他的照片中浮現：那些他無法理解的訊息的鬼魂。

故事由此展開，跨越四代的聯繫與後果，隨著世紀的展開而點燃和重燃。在渴望、理解、渴望和超越的光輝時刻中，火花向上飛舞，數十年後進行著變化。

被擁抱（Held）感人且極其美麗，充滿神秘、智慧和同情，是一位作家在其創作巔峰時期的小說。
