Sage Singer is a baker. She works through the night, preparing the day’s breads and pastries, trying to escape a reality of loneliness, bad memories, and the shadow of her mother’s death. When Josef Weber, an elderly man in Sage’s grief support group, begins stopping by the bakery, they strike up an unlikely friendship. Despite their differences, they see in each other the hidden scars that others can’t.
Everything changes on the day that Josef confesses a long-buried and shameful secret and asks Sage for an extraordinary favor. If she says yes, she faces not only moral repercussions, but potentially legal ones as well. With the integrity of the closest friend she’s ever had clouded, Sage begins to question the assumptions and expectations she’s made about her life and her family. In this searingly honest novel, Jodi Picoult gracefully explores the lengths to which we will go in order to keep the past from dictating the future.
Jodi Picoult is the author of twenty-two novels, including the #1 New York Times bestsellers "The Storyteller," "Lone Wolf," "Between the Lines," "Sing You Home," "House Rules," "Handle with Care," "Change of Heart," "Nineteen Minutes," and "My Sister's Keeper." She lives in New Hampshire with her husband and three children.
原文摘录
· · · · · ·
If you had to pack your whole life into a suitcase--not just the practical things, like clothing, but the memories of the people you had lost and the girl you had once been--what would you take? The last photograph you had of your mother? A birthday gift from your best friend--a bookmark embroidered by her? A ticket stub from the traveling circus that had come through town two years ago, where you and your father held your breath as jeweled ladies flew through the air, and a brave man stuck his head in the mouth of a lion? Would you take them to make wherever you were going feel like home, or because you needed to remember where you had come from? (查看原文)

不是很喜欢立意，虽然我本人是一个highly value故事的人，但生死面前，故事太轻了。不是故事让人活下来，是信念让人活下来。奶奶在二战中的真实经历是三个故事里最打动人的。反战是作为的人的底线，突破了底线就是反人类。

二战版一千零一夜；三个故事交织在一起的方式有点生硬，尤其是中间二战的故事，让人读着读着都忘了现代的这个故事了；但瑕不掩瑜，确实是值得一读的好书，尤其是结尾

整本书写满了死亡，但因为作者花了很多笔墨写生活写对话写细节，又使得整本书充满了生命。A book that makes you feel reborn.
