逼迫你直視內心,面對道德與自我的無盡辯論
鞭笞社會敏感議題,茱蒂皮考特再次帶來揪心不已的感人著作
煦煦的秋日陽光照耀之下,這一天如平常一樣開始,一家婦女生殖健康服務診所為進入大門的任何人提供服務。然而,一個絕望且心煩意亂的槍手突然闖入並開火,把診所所有人都挾持為人質。
警方人質談判代表 Hugh McElroy 趕到現場後,圍起封鎖線並開始制定與槍手溝通的計劃。一陣手機訊息提醒震動,他撇了一眼,深深的恐懼從內心油然而生:他的 15 歲女兒 Wren 正在診所內。
Wren 並不是一個人,她與診所內許多令人難忘的角色共享這令人緊張的幾個小時:一位壓抑住自身恐慌並挽救一位受傷女士生命的護士;一位醫生,並不是基於信仰而是基於道德使然而盡力完成他的工作;一位偽裝為病人的反墮胎抗議人士;一位來中止懷孕的年輕女子。茱蒂皮考特再次創造出了一個大膽而迷人的敘事結構,故事時間線延伸至過去,追溯出這些相異的人們在這命運的日子聚集在同個地方的原因。
茱蒂皮考特是我們這個時代最無畏的作家之一,在這部扣人心弦的小說中提出一個複雜的問題。我們要如何平衡孕婦和未出生嬰孩的權力?成為一個好父母是什麼意思?A Spark of Light 將激發你我的辯論、對話或者……希望是理解。(文 / 博客來編譯)
The #1 New York Times bestselling author of Small Great Things returns with a powerful and provocative new novel about ordinary lives that intersect during a heart-stopping crisis.
The warm fall day starts like any other at the Center—a women’s reproductive health services clinic—its staff offering care to anyone who passes through its doors. Then, in late morning, a desperate and distraught gunman bursts in and opens fire, taking all inside hostage.
After rushing to the scene, Hugh McElroy, a police hostage negotiator, sets up a perimeter and begins making a plan to communicate with the gunman. As his phone vibrates with incoming text messages he glances at it and, to his horror, finds out that his fifteen-year-old daughter, Wren, is inside the clinic.
But Wren is not alone. She will share the next and tensest few hours of her young life with a cast of unforgettable characters: A nurse who calms her own panic in order save the life of a wounded woman. A doctor who does his work not in spite of his faith but because of it, and who will find that faith tested as never before. A pro-life protester disguised as a patient, who now stands in the cross hairs of the same rage she herself has felt. A young woman who has come to terminate her pregnancy. And the disturbed individual himself, vowing to be heard.
Told in a daring and enthralling narrative structure that counts backward through the hours of the standoff, this is a story that traces its way back to what brought each of these very different individuals to the same place on this fateful day.
Jodi Picoult—one of the most fearless writers of our time—tackles a complicated issue in this gripping and nuanced novel. How do we balance the rights of pregnant women with the rights of the unborn they carry? What does it mean to be a good parent? A Spark of Light will inspire debate, conversation . . . and, hopefully, understanding.)
