內容簡介:
本书以一个更为生动与黑暗的故事重新诠释了格林童话经典篇章《雪白与玫瑰红》Snow-White and
Red-Rose。
故事围绕着两个世界的边界展开,一个是犯罪频发的村庄,一个是属于女孩林嘉的避风港。林嘉有两个女儿,安静的布伦泽和热情的乌达儿,小小避风港保护着她们免受林嘉曾经遭受的暴力与苦难。但是现实世界是你无法永远躲避的,巫师和野熊先后闯过了边界。林嘉和两个女儿能够守住原有的平静,适应这个美丽与残酷共生的世界么?
"Tender Morsels "is a dark and vivid story, set in two worlds
and worrying at the border between them. Liga lives modestly in her
own personal heaven, a world given to her in exchange for her
earthly life. Her two daughters grow up in this soft place,
protected from the violence that once harmed their mother. But the
real world cannot be denied forever--magicked men and wild bears
break down the borders of Liga''s refuge. Now, having known Heaven,
how will these three women survive in a world where beauty and
brutality lie side by side?
