2. "Little Fires Everywhere" by Celeste Ng
《遍地小火苗》(伍绮诗)
In Shaker Heights, a placid, progressive suburb of Cleveland, everything is planned - from the layout of the winding roads, to the colors of the houses, to the successful lives its residents will go on to lead. And no one embodies this spirit more than Elena Richardson, whose guiding principle is playing by the rules.Enter Mia Warren - an enigmatic artist and single mother - who arrives in this idyllic bubble with her teenaged daughter Pearl, and rents a house from the Richardsons. Soon Mia and Pearl become more than tenants: all four Richardson children are drawn to the mother-daughter pair. But Mia carries with her a mysterious past and a disregard for the status quo that threatens to upend this carefully ordered community.

1. "Killers of the Flower Moon" by David Grann
《花月杀手》(大卫•格兰)
In "Killers of the Flower Moon, " David Grann revisits a shocking series of crimes in which dozens of people were murdered in cold blood. Based on years of research and startling new evidence, the book is a masterpiece of narrative nonfiction, as each step in the investigation reveals a series of sinister secrets and reversals. But more than that, it is a searing indictment of the callousness and prejudice toward American Indians that allowed the murderers to operate with impunity for so long.
在《花月杀手》中,大卫•格兰重新审视了一起触目惊心的连环谋杀案,案中数十人被残忍杀害。这本书是一部叙事性纪实文学杰作,经过多年的调查,新的证据浮出水面。随着调查一步步推进,邪恶的秘密逐渐曝光,故事剧情也不断反转。但更重要的是,这本书厉声控诉的是,让凶手们逍遥法外如此之久的原因,竟然是人们对美国印第安人的冷漠和偏见。
