凱瑟琳·歐弗林,一九七0年生。創作此書時,凱瑟琳還是一名普通的郵遞員,但她一直希望自己寫的書有朝一日能齣版,於是不斷給各齣版商郵寄手稿。稿子不停地被退迴,但凱瑟琳並不氣餒,繼續四處郵遞自己的理想。她的堅信終於得到瞭證明:《失物》不僅擺在瞭書攤上,獲得二00七年著名的科茨塔圖書奬,甚至一路突圍,闖進瞭英國最權威的布剋奬和橘子奬最終提名,一時成為英國文壇佳話。
A tender and sharply observant debut novel about a missing young girl--winner of the Costa First Novel Award and long-listed for the Booker Prize, the Orange Prize, and "The Guardian" First Book AwardIn the 1980s, Kate Meaney--"Top Secret" notebook and toy monkey in tow--is hard at work as a junior detective. Busy trailing "suspects" and carefully observing everything around her at the newly opened Green Oaks shopping mall, she forms an unlikely friendship with Adrian, the son of a local shopkeeper. But when this curious, independent-spirited young girl disappears, Adrian falls under suspicion and is hounded out of his home by the press. Then, in 2003, Adrian's sister Lisa--stuck in a dead-end relationship--is working as a manager at Your Music, a discount record store. Every day she tears her hair out at the outrageous behavior of her customers and colleagues. But along with a security guard, Kurt, she becomes entranced by the little girl glimpsed on the mall's surveillance cameras. As their after-hours friendship intensifies, Lisa and Kurt investigate how these sightings might be connected to the unsettling history of Green Oaks itself. Written with warmth and wit, "What Was Lost" is a haunting debut from an incredible new talent.
看到快一半了,还是没有讲到重点,一直都在写伏笔,很难想象这样的小说在当地的报刊连载中是怎么继续下去的。

評分带着很大的好奇去读这本书,后来发现故事不是像宣传的那样,呵呵! 怪不得作者一开始很难发表呀!文章的行文情节确实粗看起来不够精彩和吸引人。
