College student Joe Talbert has the modest goal of completing a writing assignment for an English class. His task is to interview a stranger and write a brief biography of the person. With deadlines looming, Joe heads to a nearby nursing home to find a willing subject. There he meets Carl Iverson, and soon nothing in Joe's life is ever the same.
Iverson is a dying Vietnam veteran--and a convicted murderer. With only a few months to live, he has been medically paroled to a nursing home, after spending thirty years in prison for the crimes of rape and murder.
As Joe writes about Carl's life, especially Carl's valor in Vietnam, he cannot reconcile the heroism of the soldier with the despicable acts of the convict. Joe, along with his skeptical female neighbor, throws himself into uncovering the truth, but he is hamstrung in his efforts by having to deal with his dangerously dysfunctional mother, the guilt of leaving his autistic brother vulnerable, and a haunting childhood memory.
Thread by thread, Joe unravels the tapestry of Carl’s conviction. But as he and Lila dig deeper into the circumstances of the crime, the stakes grow higher. Will Joe discover the truth before it’s too late to escape the fallout?
1968年5月,一支美军部队驻守在越南桂山谷地西北,一条山脊上的火力基地里。据情报显示,基地附近的一个村庄有越共活动的迹象,一等兵卡尔•艾弗森和维吉尔•格雷所在的步兵排奉命去查看那个村庄。 维吉尔和新兵塔特担任尖兵,走在队伍的最前面。他们经过一片丘陵,道路斜...
评分无意之间读了这本书。一开始感觉美国式的生活感扑面而来。乔的一次作业,结识了一位强奸杀人犯。每次读到这样的内容,后面情节其实就比较显然了,但是最后读到在为卡尔洗脱罪名,他安然去世时,我还是难过了。一个从始至终都想死掉的人,因为想死掉,被当作英雄又被当作畜生。...

评分当我认真看这本书的时候,恰好是过年期间。“爆竹声中一岁除,春风送暖入屠苏。千门万户曈曈日,总把新桃换旧符。”新年的气息洋溢在身边每个细节里,窗外细细碎碎的白雪地理有大红的鞭炮彼此起付,厨房里有亲人在忙碌年夜饭,电视里传来各种新年节目的欢声笑语。一切都是美好...
This mystery debut contains enough twists and turns to keep me interested, but at the same time, the plots have so many clichés, making me feel like I was watching a Hollywood movie – everything will always work out at the end.
评分介于三四星之间
评分Too predictable. 挺流畅,但就像是照着写作教科书做出的流水线产品。
评分讲真开始我还蛮喜欢的,但是最后那段大抓马太过了反而俗了……
评分我还真在一天半内读完了这本小说。Absolutely a page-turner!作为作者的第一本小说真的很不错。Carl的故事很吊人胃口。觉得男主有些轻脑壳,但联系他的过去也可以理解他迫切想要帮助Carl的心情,还觉得他不该保释他的酒鬼老妈,但他可能还是出于对外公死的内疚,而且他也一直无法直面要自己照顾自闭症弟弟的责任。故事里的每个人都有着不为人知的过去,正应了题目“the life we bury”。边看边联想到去年很火的播客节目“Seral”,可惜节目中的Arden到最后也没有正式豁免。Carl对雪的喜爱与期待我也特别有感触,我也是那么地喜欢雪,却来到这个从不下雪的地方生活,但正如“Heaven could be here on Earth”,我们应更留心身边那些被我们忽略的温暖。
