内容简介

Stephen Lewis, a successful writer of children's books, is confronted with the unthinkable: his only child, three-year-old Kate, is snatched from him in a supermarket. In one horrifying moment that replays itself over the years that follow, Stephen realizes his daughter is gone.With extraordinary tenderness and insight, Booker Prize–winning author Ian McEwan takes us into the dark territory of a marriage devastated by the loss of a child. Kate's absence sets Stephen and his wife, Julie, on diverging paths as they each struggle with a grief that only seems to intensify with the passage of time. Eloquent and passionate, the novel concludes in a triumphant scene of love and hope that gives full rein to the author's remarkable gifts. The winner of the Whitbread Prize, The Child in Time is an astonishing novel by one of the finest writers of his generation.

作者简介

伊恩•麦克尤恩

英国当代著名作家,甫一出道,即以处女作短篇集获毛姆奖,从此成为包括布克奖在内的各大文学奖项的常客。

早期作品风格阴郁、黑暗。从《时间中的孩子》(获惠特布莱德奖和费米娜外国小说奖)开始转向包容、内省,逐渐从边缘走向了中心。更凭借布克奖获奖作《阿姆斯特丹》和《赎罪》改编电影商业上的巨大成功,成为英国文坛最为炫目的明星人物。

麦克尤恩不仅在文坛名声斐然,在排行榜上亦是风光无限,《赎罪》、《在切瑟尔海滩上》等部部作品傲然雄踞畅销榜单,他也因此成为当代英国严肃文学作家中当之无愧的畅销天王,更被英国民众视为英国的“国民作家”。
