The description of the next six days, written by this serial liar, self-inventor and troubled, possibly dangerous man, is riveting. Ms Gaiges main achievement is to inhabit her protagonist so thoroughly that the reader cannot help but empathise. Eric is by turns insightful, funny, bizarre and irresponsible, at once self-deceiving and self-aware. Explaining his decision to cut and run, he writes: I couldnt take it any more, the way the wind went out of the world whenever my daughter left. In his apologetic, heartfelt voice, the novel becomes an intense, often beautiful meditation on the desperate love of a parent for a child. 这名落魄的父亲虽然满嘴谎言,善于编造身份,也许是个危险人物,他将跑路六日娓娓道来,语言却也赏心悦目。女作家不惜笔墨,主角形象丰满,读后令人同情,此乃小说最大亮点。她笔下的埃里克时而富有远见卓识,时而滑稽古怪不负责任,时而自欺欺人,时而头脑清醒。提到下定切断过去远逃异乡的决心时,埃里克如此解释:每次我的女儿离开时,世界了无生机,我再也受不了了。他的叙述充满歉意和真诚,成就一部深刻思考绝望亲情的惊悚小说,其中不乏美丽的语言。
Eric regards the kidnapping as a fairy tale adventure; his daughter, wryly intelligent, is swept along. But Lauras lawyer accuses him of bizarre, neglectful parenting. On the lam he lets Meadow wade into a freezing lake, feeds her junk food and leaves her unattended. The question is not if he will be caught, but how and when. 明白一切的女儿嘲讽地看着事情发展的态势,跟着父亲匆匆赶路,而在埃里克眼里,这次绑架就是一次童话般的冒险。然而劳拉的律师指责他行为古怪,缺乏为人父的责任心。途中,他用垃圾食品喂养小麦朵,带她涉过冰冷的湖水,甚至留她孤身一人。他总会被逮捕,关键是何时以何种方式。
