英文简介:
Set in the near future, this hopeful story of survival and resilience follows Wanda–a luminous child born out of a devastating hurricane–as she navigates a rapidly changing world: A “symphony of beauty and heartbreak” (Associated Press).
A Good Morning America Book Club pick · #1 Indie Next pick · LibraryReads pick · Book of the Month Club selection · Marie Claire #ReadWithMC book club selection · 2022 NPR “Book We Love” · New York Times Editors’ Choice Florida is slipping away.
As devastating weather patterns and rising sea levels wreak gradual havoc on the state’s infrastructure, a powerful hurricane approaches a small town on the southeastern coast.
Kirby Lowe, an electrical line worker, his pregnant wife, Frida, and their two sons, Flip and Lucas, prepare for the worst.
When the boys go missing just before the hurricane hits, Kirby heads out into the high winds in search of his children.
Left alone, Frida goes into premature labor and gives birth to an unusual child, Wanda, whom she names after the catastrophic storm that ushers her into a society closer to collapse than ever before.
As Florida continues to unravel, Wanda grows.
Moving from childhood to adulthood, adapting not only to the changing landscape, but also to the people who stayed behind in a place abandoned by civilization, Wanda loses family, gains community, and ultimately, seeks adventure, love, and purpose in a place remade by nature.
Told in four parts–power, water, light, and time–The Light Pirate mirrors the rhythms of the elements and the sometimes quick, sometimes slow dissolution of the world as we know it.
It is a meditation on the changes we would rather not see, the future we would rather not greet, and a call back to the beauty and violence of an untamable wilderness.
中文简介:
设定在不久的将来，这个关于生存和恢复力的充满希望的故事讲述了万达——一个从毁灭性飓风中出生的发光的孩子——在一个瞬息万变的世界中航行：“美丽与心碎的交响曲”（美联社）。
早安美国读书俱乐部精选 · #1 Indie Next pick · LibraryReads 精选 · 本月俱乐部精选 · Marie Claire #ReadWithMC 读书俱乐部精选 · 2022 NPR“Book We Love” · 纽约时报编辑选择佛罗里达正在溜走.随着毁灭性的天气模式和海平面上升对该州的基础设施造成逐渐破坏，一场强大的飓风逼近东南沿海的一个小镇。
电线工人柯比·洛 (Kirby Lowe) 和他怀孕的妻子弗里达 (Frida) 以及他们的两个儿子弗利普 (Flip) 和卢卡斯 (Lucas) 正在为最坏的情况做准备。
当男孩们在飓风来袭前失踪时，柯比冒着狂风前往寻找他的孩子。
独自一人，弗里达早产并生下了一个不寻常的孩子，旺达，她以灾难性风暴的名字为这个孩子命名，这场风暴将她带入了一个比以往任何时候都更接近崩溃的社会。
随着佛罗里达州继续分崩离析，万达也在成长。
从童年到成年，不仅要适应不断变化的风景，还要适应留在被文明遗弃的地方的人们，万达失去了家庭，获得了社区，并最终在重塑的地方寻求冒险、爱情和目标自然地。
分为四个部分——力量、水、光和时间——Light Pirate 反映了元素的节奏，以及我们所知的世界时而快时而慢的消融。
这是对我们不愿看到的变化、我们不愿迎接的未来的沉思，也是对野蛮荒野的美丽与暴力的呼唤。
