夕霧花園

內容簡介

內容簡介 這輩子我一直試圖遺忘，但如今卻渴望回憶…… 受困於馬來亞日軍拘留營中，姊妹兩人仰賴想像力渡過每一個痛苦的日與夜。貌美的雲紅被關在小屋中充作日軍洩慾的慰安婦。在礦坑裡做苦工的雲林，想盡辦法溜到姊姊被監禁的窗前。能夠聽見彼此的聲音，甚至一起想像建造夢想中的美麗花園，成了支撐她們活下去的力量。 在戰爭結束的那天，卻只有雲林一個人逃了出來。 獨自存活，雖不是她的本意，但雲林仍為拋下姊姊而感到自責。 數年後，未能忘懷姊姊的雲林，決心將兩人想像的花園付諸實現。她找到一位優秀的園林師中村教導她造園技巧。可是中村的日本人身份卻帶給雲林莫大的痛苦，即便是簡單的日式鞠躬行禮，都讓她有再次陷入拘留營的錯覺。 為了學習造園技巧，雲林搬到夕霧花園和中村一起居住。夕霧原是日本古典小說《源氏物語》中的人物，這座與自然融為一體的日式花園，正如同它的名字那般優雅美麗。 隨時間過去，雲林和中村日趨親近，與中村一起重建花園、學習弓道，使雲林躁動不安的心終於得到平靜。不過某日中村卻在馬來西亞的山林失去蹤影，只留下這座夕霧花園、一批浮世繪作品與再次遭遇離別痛苦的雲林…… 多年後，雲林再次回到夕霧花園。她曾因害怕痛苦的過去選擇遺忘，但因病失憶的陰影卻使她渴望回憶。面對當年中村神秘的背景與失蹤的真相，再次擁抱回憶的決定，究竟會帶給雲林無法承受的痛苦，或是能賜予她解脫的希望？ 2012年曼布克獎決選入圍前六強 2013年亞洲首位榮獲蘇格蘭華特‧史考特歷史小說獎 2012年擊敗土耳其諾貝爾文學獎得主帕慕克，首位榮獲英仕曼亞洲文學獎的馬來西亞作家 2014年入圍IMPAC都柏林文學獎 亞馬遜300位讀者五顆星超好評 本書介出自貓頭鷹出版《夕霧花園》 "
