📖 Eleanor & Park

Eleanor & Park is a novel written by Rainbow Rowell that tells of the story between two sixteen-year-olds, Eleanor and Park. One day, while riding on the bus and sitting with the high school bully jocks, a curly-haired redhead girl steps foot onto the school bus. Immediately, she's noticed by everybody . . . and nobody wants to share their seat with her. Desperate to save both their faces, Park slides aside and tells her to sit down. What they don't know is that this act alone will lead to a twisted yet beautiful love between them. And it starts with… comics. One day, while they sit in their unmoveable silence on the bus, Park catches the new girl staring at… not him, but his comic. He dismisses it, but, almost automatically, his hands start turning the pages slower. Over time, a quiet understanding grows between them. Park starts leaving comics on her seat for her to read, and soon, music follows — mixtapes exchanged without words. Little by little, Eleanor and Park find solace in each other. But outside the bus, Eleanor's life… is far from simple. Her abusive stepfather looms over her home like a storm cloud, and the only escape she has is the graceful, mysterious boy on the bus… I recommend this book because it is a beautiful book about the relationship between two unlikely, and maybe even star-crossed, high schoolers.

《埃莉诺与帕克》(Eleanor & Park)是彩虹-罗威尔(Rainbow Rowell)创作的一部小说,讲述了两个 16 岁少年埃莉诺和帕克之间的故事。 有一天,一个红头发的卷发女孩坐上了校车,她和那些高中的混混们坐在一起。她立刻引起了所有人的注意......没有人愿意和她同座。 为了保住两人的面子,帕克急忙让她坐到一旁。他们不知道的是,仅仅这一举动,就会让他们之间产生一段扭曲而又美好的爱情。而这一切都始于......漫画。 一天,当他们坐在公交车上沉默不语时,Park 发现新来的女孩盯着......不是他,而是他的漫画。他不以为然,但手几乎是自动地开始慢慢翻动书页。 随着时间的推移,他们之间渐渐有了默契。帕克开始把漫画放在她的座位上供她阅读,不久,音乐也随之而来--无言的混音带。渐渐地,埃莉诺和帕克在彼此身上找到了慰藉。 但在公交车外,埃莉诺的生活......却远非如此简单。虐待她的继父就像风暴云一样笼罩着她的家,而她唯一的出路就是公交车上那个优雅而神秘的男孩...... 我之所以推荐这本书,是因为它是一本关于两个不可能的,甚至可能是星星之火可以燎原的高中生之间关系的美丽书籍。
