朱天文小說集1988-1990更令人畏懼的是，世界並不與我們共同老去，它會繼續翻新，會有更多擁有大量青春可揮灑的新人冒出來，棄我們於角落獨自老去。這就是朱天文的青春消逝寓言，是這樣的意思吧？……這位技藝圓熟、見解融達的朱天文是來到她寫作生涯的高處了。──詹宏志 在這本短篇小說集中，從二十歲到七十歲的人都在感嘆自己的青春消逝、新人卻無情地一一冒出來。 例如，〈紅玫瑰呼叫你〉中的翔哥遇到雙十年華的女人時自忖：「今晚鐵軋不過她，快四十歲人了能怎麼辦呢……」為了逃避，他竟然只能「嚕嚕打著鼾，裝死。」〈肉身菩薩〉中兩個四十幾年次的男人喝著酒說：「你知道，現在滿街跑的都是五字頭，邪門……六字頭都出來混嘍！」更不用說〈柴師父〉中七十餘歲的柴明儀：「手指觸摸到女孩涼軟的胸乳時，肚底抽起一絲凌厲顫動……等待女孩像等待青春復活。」 感嘆青春逝去的不只是中老年人，〈世紀末的華麗〉的米亞在她的女朋友們之中，「她最老二十五歲」，在看過所有最時尚華麗的服裝之後，「年老色衰」的米亞「不想玩了」，甚至不愛新鮮的花而愛乾燥花，「她目睹花香日漸枯淡，色澤深深黯去，最後它們已轉變為另外一種事物。宿命。」 本書共包含七篇短篇小說及兩篇附錄，詹宏志讚譽：「葛林（Graham Green）曾經稱道沙奇（Saki）的作品是『奪目、悅心』（They dazzle and delight），這句話完全可以搬來形容這一系列的小說。」

本書描寫十二歲的 Sonnet，在失去奶奶後，與家人搬回祖父身邊生活。曾經繁盛的蘋果園，如今只剩下一棵老樹，靜靜見證家族的變遷。Sonnet 不願面對衰老與失去，只希望一切能維持原樣。偏偏在學校的口述歷史作業中，她被迫與鄰居 Zeke 分組，還要讓祖父成為訪談對象。Zeke 的提問一再觸碰她刻意避開的過往，也讓家族深藏的傷痛逐漸浮現。當一場意外迫使兩人再次合作，Sonnet 開始明白，真正的修復並非遺忘，而是願意回頭凝視。作者以雙視角鋪陳故事，讓衝突、理解與和解自然發生，呈現一段溫柔而深刻的成長歷程。When feuding neighbors Sonnet and Zeke are paired up for a class project, they unearth a secret that could uproot Sonnet's family--or allow it to finally heal and grow. Twelve-year-old Sonnet's family has just moved across the country to live with her grandfather after her nana dies. Gramps's once-impressive apple orchard has been razed for a housing development, with only one heirloom tree left. Sonnet doesn't want to think about how Gramps and his tree are both growing old--she just wants everything to be okay. Sonnet is not okay with her neighbor, Zeke, a boy her age who gets on her bad side and stays there when he tries to choose her grandpa to interview for an oral history assignment. Zeke irks Sonnet with his prying questions, brin
