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.

外文作品看过不少,但是来自于爱尔兰的外文小说自认为读得并不是很多。然而,今日我却非常有幸地读到了一部出自于爱尔兰作家的小说《明日魔法书》。乍然看到书名,我还以为是类似于《哈利波特》类的科幻类书作,然而深入地阅读后我才发现自己是那么地浅薄。毫无疑问,在这部《...

这又是一本女孩子写的女孩子为主角的书。我不是女孩子,对女孩子不够了解,尤其是本书中所描写的富家女孩子,就更加不熟悉。不过这些并不影响我的观看,反而是这种不熟悉更能激起我读本书的兴趣。毕竟我也有求知欲,我也想了解那些未知的东西。 本书的作者是爱尔兰总理的千金。...
每一个明天都是你亲手写下的。 在这个故事里,你真的要从字面上来理解这句话。 作者西西莉亚·艾亨,81年出生的爱尔兰女作家,21岁即写出成名作《P.S. 我爱你》,对,就是那部电影的原作。西西莉亚喜欢让她的人物在人生最低潮时和读者见面,然后在一种渐进的领悟中,一步步地...
