Scattered Showers

 
　　★紐約時報暢銷小說《這不是告別》作者蘭波．羅威（Rainbow Rowell）第一本短篇小說集
 
　　錯失機會的跨年夜、星際大戰電影首映、打破傳統的校園舞會、帶男友回家過聖誕的尷尬時刻⋯⋯蘭波．羅威（Rainbow Rowell）首部短篇小說集集結了4篇以往出版的故事以及5篇全新創作，9篇動人篇章，描寫發生在冬季或假期裡的故事，書中還穿插了過往作品中的熟悉臉孔，如《預言之子》（Carry On）裡的Simon與Baz。
 
　　Scattered Showers場景多為現代，但也有幻想的世界，例如〈The Prince and the Troll〉，故事發生在一個處於生態邊緣的世界；〈In Waiting〉則建立在一片想像的土地。9則故事中，Rainbow Rowell描寫了各種類型的愛，抓住了青少年主角的聲音，全書充滿了Rainbow Rowell指標性的浪漫風格，故事中人物之間的對話、角色互動不但成為小說亮點，也充分展現出作者創作短篇小說的天賦，為讀者製造出有趣又令人興奮的閱讀體驗。
 
　　「一本愛情故事集，非常適合端著一杯熱茶、裹著舒適毯子來場閱讀之旅」——Sarasota雜誌
