歐普拉讀書俱樂部欽點!《命運交叉路》暢銷作家睽違十年爆笑治癒新作。
當「絕對理性」的哲學家,遇上「無法抗拒」的瘋狂愛情!
女主角阿朵拉(Adora)是個住在紐約、信奉斯多葛學派的離婚女哲學家。她對自己的生活滿意極了:拿著高薪當豪門雙胞胎的道德導師、應付叛逆的青春期女兒、和公寓同層樓的單身姊妹淘們組成互助「女巫團」。她以為自己早就擺脫了過去的創傷,用極致的理性築起完美的防護罩。
直到那天在劇院排隊時,她遇見了神祕、帥氣、完全不按牌理出牌的迪格比。 一瞬間,理性的防線全面崩潰!阿朵拉被捲入了一場交織著國際黑市藝術品走私、博物館爆炸案與倫敦、巴黎跨國追逐的瘋狂冒險中。她驚覺,自己努力埋葬的過去即將被引爆。為了心中那股無法熄滅的渴望,這一次,她決定冒著失去一切的風險,勇敢「瘋狂」一次!
"Maria Semple is a treasure." —Los Angeles Times
The New York Times bestselling author of Where'd You Go, Bernadette returns to form in her most exuberant and life-affirming novel yet with the story of one woman’s cheerful determination to live a life of the mind only to have the heart force its way in.
Adora Hazzard has it all figured out. A Stoic philosopher and divorcée, she lives a contented life on New York City’s Upper West Side. Having discovered that the secret to happiness is to desire only what you have, she’s applied this insight to blissful effect: relishing her teenage daughter, the freedom of being solo, and her job as a moral tutor for the twin boys of an old-money family. She’s even assembled a "coven"—like-minded women who live on the same floor in the legendary Ansonia—and is making active efforts to grow its membership. Adora’s carefully curated life is humming along brilliantly until a chance meeting with a handsome stranger.
Soon, her ordered world is upended by black-market art deals, secret rendezvous, and international intrigue . . . and her past—which she has worked so hard to bury—lands like a bomb in her present. Inflamed by unquenchable desire, Adora finds herself a woman wanting more: and she’ll risk everything to get it.
Adora Hazzard’s journey of self-discovery will grip you from the start. Romantic, hilarious, intelligent, and bursting with the stuff of life, Go Gentle is a thrilling story of one woman’s mid-life transformation, cementing Maria Semple in the pantheon of our most exciting and important contemporary writers.
