英文简介:
An immersive story about family secrets and the power of forgiveness from the bestselling author of Reese’s Book Club pick Honor When Remy Wadia left India for the United States, he carried his resentment of his cold and inscrutable mother with him and has kept his distance from her.
Years later, he returns to Bombay, planning to adopt a baby from a young pregnant girl–and to see his elderly mother again before it is too late.
She is in the hospital, has stopped talking, and seems to have given up on life.
Struck with guilt for not realizing just how ill she had become, Remy devotes himself to helping her recover and return home.
But one day in her apartment he comes upon an old photograph that demands explanation.
As shocking family secrets surface, Remy finds himself reevaluating his entire childhood and his relationship to his parents, just as he is on the cusp of becoming a parent himself.
Can Remy learn to forgive others for their human frailties, or is he too wedded to his sorrow and anger over his parents’ long-ago decisions? Surprising, devastating, and ultimately a story of redemption and healing still possible between a mother and son, The Museum of Failures is a tour de force from one of our most elegant storytellers about the mixed bag of love and regret.
It is also, above all, a much-needed reminder that forgiveness comes from empathy for others.

多年后，他回到孟买，计划收养一名年轻怀孕女孩的孩子，并在为时已晚之前再次见到年迈的母亲。
她在医院里，已经不再说话，似乎已经放弃了生命。
雷米因没有意识到自己病得有多严重而感到内疚，他致力于帮助她康复并回家。
但有一天，他在她的公寓里看到了一张旧照片，需要解释一下。
随着令人震惊的家庭秘密浮出水面，雷米发现自己正在重新评估自己的整个童年以及与父母的关系，就像他自己即将成为父母一样。
雷米能否学会原谅他人的人性弱点，或者他是否过于沉迷于父母很久以前的决定所带来的悲伤和愤怒？ 《失败博物馆》是一个令人惊讶、毁灭性的、最终仍然可能发生在母子之间的救赎和治愈的故事，是我们最优雅的故事讲述者之一关于爱与遗憾的混合体的杰作。
最重要的是，这也是一个非常需要的提醒：宽恕来自于对他人的同情。
