From the Booker Prize-winning author ofThe Remains of the Daycomes a devastating new novel of innocence, knowledge, and loss. As children Kathy, Ruth, and Tommy were students at Hailsham, an exclusive boarding school secluded in the English countryside. It was a place of mercurial cliques and mysterious rules where teachers were constantly reminding their charges of how special they were.

Now, years later, Kathy is a young woman. Ruth and Tommy have reentered her life. And for the first time she is beginning to look back at their shared past and understand just what it is that makes them special–and how that gift will shape the rest of their time together.

精彩摘录

1、六月的雨季终于过去，天开始放晴，湿透了的砖头和水泥都开始变干。我们站在一座铁路桥上，山脚下铁路的一侧是鳞次栉比的屋顶，好像一座座房子从山坡上滚下来。2、那时，回到中川一代仍然会令我悲喜交加。这里山峦起伏，再次走在一座座房子间那些狭窄、陡峭的街道上总是给我一种深深的失落感，虽然我不会想来就来，但总是无法长久地远离这里。3、“我想是吧。我很同情她。但是现在他们应该向前看。每周都来墓地，这样怎么能把孩子带到这个世上来呢？”4、人不应该那么快就忘记以前的感情。应该时不时地看看过去，才能更好地认识事情。5、“现在的人很容易就忘记他们的教育归功于谁。”6、人人都借着民主的名义丢掉忠诚。7、“妈妈，你总是关心别人几岁。人重要的不是年龄，而是经历。有的人活到一百岁也没经历过什么事。”8、“跟以前一个样，”绪方先生说，眼角泛着淡淡的微笑。“孩子长成了大人，却没有变多少。”9、回忆，我发现，可能是不可靠的东西；常常被你回忆时的环境所大大地扭曲，毫无疑问，我现在在这里的某些回忆就是这样。10、（译后记）石黑说：“我喜欢回忆，是因为回忆是我们审视自己生活的过滤器。回忆模糊不清，就给自我欺骗提供机会。作为一个作家，我更关心的是人们告诉自己发生了什么，而不是实际发生了什么。”

就只有那一次，我站在那里，望着那些莫名其妙的垃圾，感到来自那片旷野的风吹在我身上，我开始幻想一个小小的梦境，毕竟这里是诺福克，我失去他才只有两星期而已。我想着那些垃圾，树枝上翻飞的垃圾袋，围栏沿线如同海岸线一样挂住的各种东西，于是我半闭上眼睛，想象着就是在这个地方，我从童年时代起所有失去的一切都会被海水冲刷上岸，现在我就迎面站在这里，如果我等待得足够久，一个小小的身影就会出现在田野对面的天边，渐渐地越来越大，直到我认出那是汤米，他会朝我挥手，也许甚至会喊我。这幻想仅止于此——我不允许——尽管泪水从我脸上滚落，但我没有哭泣，也没有失控。
