一場跨越時代與文化的生命對話，見證人類在動盪中執著尋覓「家」與意義的感動故事。
Lina與父親流離遷徙，來到謎一般的避居地「The Sea」，只攜帶寥寥幾件物品。這座充滿幻想的時空建築，往來的鄰居橫跨東西、古今：有17世紀的猶太學者、有二戰流亡的德國哲學家、還有唐朝詩人。他們透過記憶與對話，引領Lina思索人類如何面對災難，探究罪疚、責任與救贖；在父親揭露家族悲劇過往時，Lina也重新定義自我與世界。
在多重時空交錯的冒險故事中，Thien描繪人類何以在流離失所、政治變革與命運洪流中，堅持尋找家園、創造自我；小說以絕美文字展現藝術與思想的力量，深入探討每一個人都是歷史中獨一無二的容器。
Lina and her father arrive at an enclave called The Sea, a staging post between migrations, with only a few possessions. In this mysterious and shape-shifting place, a building made of time, pasts and futures collide. Lina befriends her neighbors: Bento, a Jewish scholar in seventeenth-century Amsterdam; Blucher, a philosopher in 1930s Germany fleeing Nazi persecution; and Jupiter, a poet of Tang Dynasty China.
Memory, political revolution, generational change, and the ethical imagination are at the heart of Lina's illuminating conversations with her fellows in the Sea: how we come to believe what we believe, and how every person is an irreplaceable, unique vessel of history. Through the guidance of these great thinkers, Lina equips herself to reckon with difficult questions of guilt, responsibility, and the possibility of redemption when her ailing father begins to reveal his role in their family's tragic past.
As Lina confronts her father's troubling admissions, she begins to reconceptualize the world around her, gaining a deeper understanding of how our individual futures are shaped by our political circumstances, and she relies on the collective joy of art and intellectual endeavors to carry her through difficulty. A novel that voyages between centuries, generations, and ideas, The Book of Records is an indelible testament to the migratory nature of humanity and our ceaseless search for a home--in the physical world, in cyberspace, in history, and in the imagination--in the wake of catastrophe.
