Eliza Graham坐在教室后面,在课本后面读Jean Plaidy的小说。在英语和历史课上,她坐在最前面,紧盯着每一个单词。在家里,她一边看书,一边穿衣服,一边刷牙。在学校放假期间,她每天多次去公共图书馆。 在牛津大学,她在一门课程上阅读英国文学,该课程认为1930年前后的任何文章都过于现代,无法纳入其中。她仍然热爱维多利亚时代的小说。
“The Lines We Leave Behind is mesmerizing; a deeply affecting story of treachery, deception, sacrifice, and loss. Beautifully written and completely absorbing…” —Karen Dionne, author of the internationally bestselling The Marsh King’s Daughter
England, 1947: A young woman finds herself under close observation in an insane asylum, charged with a violent crime she has no memory of committing. As she tries to make sense of her recent past, she recalls very little.
But she still remembers wartime in Yugoslavia. There she and her lover risked everything to carry out dangerous work resisting the Germans—a heroic campaign in which many brave comrades were lost. After that, the trail disappears into confusion. How did she come to be trapped in a living nightmare?
As she struggles to piece together the missing years of her life, she will have to confront the harrowing experiences of her special-operations work and peacetime marriage. Only then can she hope to regain the vital memories that will uncover the truth: is she really a violent criminal…or was she betrayed?
