★ Faber Stories經典選篇，展現短篇小說大師最成熟的筆力★ 以黑色幽默與銳利觀察，寫出女性處境與人際關係的荒謬★ 短短篇幅，卻同時容納震撼、哀傷、寬恕與愛Faber Stories 為 Faber 推出的經典短篇系列，邀請讀者重新走進短篇小說大師們最耀眼的作品世界。本書收錄的，正是一則令人震懾又難以移開目光的故事。亞德琳活在一個保守而充滿道德框架的時代，對一個沒有孩子的女人而言，旁人最常見的「讚美」竟是：「妳一定會是個好母親。」這樣的話語既諷刺又沉重，也映照出她始終格格不入的處境。直到某次朋友家的勞動節野餐，一場突如其來的意外發生——她竟然害死了朋友的嬰兒。故事最驚人的地方，不只在於事件本身的衝擊，更在於其後層層推進的心理描寫。亞德琳從生活中退開，遠離人群，也遠離原本熟悉的一切；而當她試圖再次返回人世，讀者看見的，不只是她對周遭人物一針見血的懷疑與譏誚，更是藏在冷峻之下、對人性複雜處境的體諒。本書以極精煉的篇幅，寫出震撼人心的情感層次。尖銳、幽默、悲傷，又帶著難以言喻的溫柔，讀來像一道迅疾劃過心口的光，短暫卻留下極深的餘韻。Faber Stories, a landmark series of individual volumes, presents masters of the short story form at work in a range of genres and styles.Adrienne is living in a puritanical age, when the best compliment a childless woman can get is: ‘You’d make a terrific mother’.
