This Time Tomorrow

　　「如果可以展開時光旅行，我只想倒退到即將打開《This Time Tomorrow》的那一刻。書中對人生中曾擁有的美好和經歷，充滿了柔情與感恩。這本書讓我愛不釋手。」—《倖存之家》作者安．派契特
 
　　如果給你一個機會，來一趟通往過去的假期？
　　40歲生日的隔天一早，她發現自己重回16歲的青澀時代…
 
　　Alice迎來了自己的40歲生日。到目前為止，她絕對不會將自己的人生蓋上「糟糕」的印章。住在布魯克林不錯的套房，就業於繁華上西區的私立學校裡，那還是她的母校。獨立自主的生活，青梅竹馬Sam也一直陪伴在身旁，更不用說跟父親之間亦父亦友的良好關係。從小Alice就沒有了母親，一直以來跟父親以及家裡一隻老貓相依為命，所以父女之間感情非常濃厚。但如今深愛的父親Leonard病重呈現昏迷狀態，成為Alice目前唯一放心不下的罣礙。
 
　　剛跟Sam醉醺醺的慶祝完自己推開了40歲大門，一覺醒來卻發現自己穿越回到1996年，正準備度過16歲生日的這天！看到元氣十足的父親，Alice將會如何把握這個機會，再次重溫父女共度的溫暖時光？曾經的時光片段似乎都賦有了新的意義，她是否能藉此作出改變，讓自己未來的人生更美好，甚至救回病床上的父親呢？

What if you could take a vacation to your past?

With her celebrated humor, insight, and heart, beloved New York Times bestseller Emma Straub offers her own twist on traditional time travel tropes, and a different kind of love story.

On the eve of her 40th birthday, Alice’s life isn’t terrible. She likes her job, even if it isn’t exactly the one she expected. She’s happy with her apartment, her romantic status, her independence, and she adores her lifelong best friend. But her father is ailing, and it feels to her as if something is missing. When she wakes up the next morning she finds herself back in 1996, reliving her 16th birthday. But it isn’t just her adolescent body that shocks her, or seeing her high school crush, it’s her dad: the vital, charming, 40-something version of her father with whom she is reunited. Now armed with a new perspective on her own life and his, some past events take on new meaning. Is there anything that she would change if she could?

Emma Straub is the New York Times-bestselling author of four other novels--All Adults Here, The Vacationers, Modern Lovers, and Laura Lamont’s Life in Pictures--and the short story collection Other People We Married. Her books have been published in twenty countries. She and her husband own Books Are Magic, an independent bookstore in Brooklyn, New York.
