Hannah Tinti, The Twelve Lives of Samuel Hawley
汉娜•亭蒂《塞缪尔•霍利的十二种生活》
Loo’s mother Lily is dead, her devoted father Samuel is a mystery she deciphers through the dozen bullet wounds on his body – he, remarkably is alive – and his personal mementoes. At the age of 12 he teaches her how to shoot a gun. Shortly after, he moves her to her mother’s hometown, a Massachusetts fishing village. There they subsist mostly on his catch and Loo deals with being an outsider at school. Over the years Loo questions her mother’s death by drowning and discovers elements of her father’s criminal past. Tinti spells it out in chapters based on each of the bullets that pierced his body (Bullet Number Three on Whidbey Island; Number Six in Alaska within view of the glacier where icebergs are born).
卢的妈妈莉莉去世了,一直深爱她的父亲塞缪尔还健在,但他一直是个谜。卢通过父亲身上的十几处枪伤和他的一些个人收藏物品试图解开这个谜团。在卢12岁的时候,父亲就教她打枪。之后不久,父亲就把她带到了她母亲的家乡,马萨诸塞州的一个小渔村。在那里,他们主要靠父亲打渔为生,卢在学校里一直是个局外人。多年以来,卢一直对母亲溺亡一事存疑,还发现了一些父亲过往犯罪行为的蛛丝马迹。亭蒂依照卢的父亲身体里子弹的顺序展开整个故事(比如:第三颗子弹,惠德比岛;第六颗子弹,能看见冰川的阿拉斯加)。
