Enduring Love
内容简介
On a windy spring day in the Chilterns, the calm, organized life of science writer Joe Rose is shattered when he witnesses a tragic accident: a hot-air balloon with a boy trapped in its basket is being tossed by the wind, and in the attempt to save the child, a man is killed. A stranger named Jed Parry joins Rose in helping to bring the balloon to safety. But unknown to Rose, something passes between Parry and himself on that day--something that gives birth to an obsession in Parry so powerful that it will test the limits of Rose's beloved rationalism, threaten the love of his wife, Clarissa, and drive him to the brink of murder and madness. Brilliant and compassionate, this is a novel of love, faith, and suspense, and of how life can change in an instant.

我们并非出于冷战状态，但两人之间的一切都停顿了。我们就像两支军队，隔着迷宫般的重重壕沟傲然对峙，动弹不得。唯一在动的是头顶上如旌旗般飘扬的沉默指控。对她而言，我躁动狂乱，变态执迷，最糟糕的时还侵犯了她的私人空间。在我看来，她背信弃义，在这一危机时刻不肯向我施以援手，还满腹猜疑，蛮不讲理。
这是一份缺失，一种逆差，一次向心理空间扩展的失败，那感觉就像初次接触微积分时那样叫人难以形容。
