7. Gail Godwin, Grief Cottage
《悲伤小屋》盖氏•戈德温

Marcus is 11 when his mother dies; he never knew his father. Soon he's living with his mother's eccentric aunt Charlotte in her South Carolina beach cottage. She's painting a house built in 1804 dubbed the Grief Cottage after a family died there during Hurricane Hazel. That summer Marcus becomes himself, with the help of Charlotte, who drinks wine throughout the day in her painting studio and her empathetic friend Lachicotte Hayes. Marcus's grief and confusion are salved by the ocean, the sea turtles nesting nearby, and the secrets he learns about his family. But under the surface he's floundering. Soon he is obsessed with a mysterious boy he secretly visits daily at Grief Cottage.  (Credit: Bloomsbury)
