具体描述
Tamara Goodwin has always got everything she's ever wanted. Born into a family of wealth, she grew up in a mansion with its own private beach, a wardrobe full of designer clothes, a large four poster bed complete with a luxurious bathroom en-suite. She's always lived in the here and now, never giving a second thought to tomorrow. But then suddenly her dad is gone and life for Tamara and her mother changes forever. Left with a mountain of debt, they have no choice but to sell everything they own and move to the country to live with Tamara's Uncle and Aunt. Nestled next to Kilsaney Castle, their gate house is a world away from Tamara's childhood. With her mother shut away with grief, and her aunt busy tending to her, Tamara is lonely and bored and longs to return to Dublin. When a travelling library passes through Kilsaney Demesne, Tamara is intrigued. She needs a distraction. Her eyes rest on a mysterious large leather bound tome locked with a gold clasp and padlock. With some help, Tamara finally manages to open the book. What she discovers within the pages takes her breath away and shakes her world to its core. Told in Cecelia's imitable style, 'The Book of Tomorrow' is a mesmerising and magical story for this spring.

西西莉亚•艾亨讲了个不错的故事。 这本书乍一看似乎只是一本描述失足少女回头史的青少年读物,但真正读完以后,它的分量比看上去着实是重了几分。整本书有两条线索,一条是塔玛拉与父母之间的关系变化,另一条是陈年往事的揭秘过程。 第一条线索来谈,我觉得讲得很真实。...
生活的秘密 ——《明日魔法书》中的妙言 夜已经很深了,终于翻到了小说的最后一页,合上书本的时候,原计划明天写些感慨的,但是到了最后,却想要说完属于今天的故事,明天的事情,交给未来的自己。花了5天看完这本书,大约是因为自己有时候不太能接受前面1/4的章节作者拖...
