【2026今夏最溫柔的文學禮物】《湯姆湖》金獎暢銷作家 安·派契特 敲動心弦最新力作《Whistler》
「只要曾被另一個人深刻地理解過，哪怕只有一瞬間，人生就此改變。」
在大都會藝術博物館的畫廊裡，一對目光相遇，讓封存了四十年的大雪轟然落下。
五十歲的英文老師達芙妮，意外重逢了九歲時只陪伴過她一年的前繼父艾迪。那一年，他們在暴風雪的車禍中相依為命；那一天，繼父為了安撫她，說了一個關於奇蹟母馬「Whistler」的秘密故事。隨後，繼父消失了，大人的世界關上了門。
當時間洗盡鉛華，老去的繼父與長大的女兒再度並肩，那些當年來不及說出口的真相、隱藏在時光深處的家族秘密，終於在溫暖的日光下迎來了和解。
這是一本關於「遺憾與釋懷」的小說，獻給所有曾在愛裡走失、卻依然渴望被理解的靈魂。

When Daphne notices an older gentleman following her around the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, she doesn't expect it to be Eddie - her former stepfather.
Married to her mother for a short time when Daphne was nine, she hasn't seen Eddie for many years; not since the fateful event that changed the direction of both their lives.
Meeting again now, Daphne and Eddie feel that time has fallen away. Their earlier relationship was brief but had a profound impact on both of them. Together, they consider not only their past, but the joys of the present and their commitment to face the future together.
A moving, luminous story about how family, memory and love endures, Whistler paints an intimate portrait of how the feeling of being known by one other person, even for a short period of time, can change everything.
