女人的丈夫是個語言學家,因為思念妻子卻無從得知她真正的死因,竟然異想天開打算教蘿麗說話,讓牠說出當天出事的原因。也就在教狗說話的期間,這個男人逐漸開啟了和妻子之間的記憶之盒:從他們第一次為期一周的約會、信守彼此的時刻,而至妻子製作亡者面具、她對於亡靈世界的著迷、接連不斷詭異而殘破的夢境…… 至此,男人才漸漸拼貼出妻子的樣貌。

    An outstanding amazing work! It's a novel done by Carolyn Parkhurst, the surface of this story is unique and kind of as a suspenser, but the inside part really attracts and also catches me.
    It's a sad story related to misunderstanding, yearning, depressive and hopeless feeling, and dogs- the friends of human, and communication of course. Parkhurst's words are sober and native, and full of psychological depth of loneliness and soul deeply and truly. I fall into this novel, one of the reason is, I feel like understand Lexy and feel a bit happy for her for escape. BUT, hey! I am fine! will never ever think about jump down from any height!

  • It's not interesting for me. Although this is not a bad book, I still don't like it very much. I can't agree that the man teaches dogs to talk. Like Frankenstein. And if you ignore these, this is a good story.

  • At the end of the novel, I felt something ambiguously disturbing in my mind, which I didn't discern for sure until tears around in my eyes. The babel, which means the diversity of language, also the alienation of relationship between people. I'll read it again sometime.
