  |Character Information|

 

Best known for tackling controversial issues, through richly told fictions, Jodi Picoult's 14th novel, Nineteen Minutes, deals with the truth and consequences of a high-school shooting in a small town. Set in Sterling, New Hampshire, Picoult offers reads a glimpse of what would cause a 17-year-old Peter to wake up one day, load his backpack with four guns, and kill nine students and one teacher in the span of nineteen minutes. As with any Picoult novel, the answers are never black and white, and it is her exceptional ability to blur the lines between right and wrong that make this author such a captivating storyteller.

这是一本沉重而激烈的小说,作者试图以小镇中潜伏的情感来谈论人际关系中的不可预测。在新罕布夏的一个小镇,十七岁的高中生彼得,忍受了多年同学们对他言语和身体上的凌虐,加上他最好朋友为了屈服同僚间的压迫与怂恿,一个意外事件让彼得情绪爆发,犯下了一桩永远改变当地人生活的暴力行为,他如同平日一样来到学校,然后在十九分钟内射杀了九名学生和一名老师……作者希望以这一校园暴力事件来讨论任何暴力背后都有其复杂的原因,并探讨人性情感的不可预测性与错综复杂的灰色地带。
