“同一个故事可以用无数种方式讲述。这就是它的魅力所在。” 艾玛斯特劳布的明天这一次 为读者提供了典型的艾玛斯特劳布转折,但在传统的时间旅行情节中,以及不同类型的爱情故事。 文笔精湛,语气诙谐,主人公思想敏锐,自然而然地把你拉进她的世界,你会发现自己完全接受了 明天这个时候.
今天是纽约客爱丽丝的四十岁生日,她的生活还算不错。她很喜欢现在的工作,尽管这并非她最初的理想之选。她对自己的独立、感情状态、公寓以及终生挚友都感到满意。然而,她73岁的父亲伦纳德身体欠佳,爱丽丝感觉生活中似乎缺少了什么。她尽可能地抽空去看望父亲。伦纳德即将离世,这让爱丽丝开始反思自己的人生,思考自己已经取得的成就以及尚未实现的遗憾。生日当天,爱丽丝与多年的挚友萨姆见面,并喝得酩酊大醉。

When she wakes up the next day, she realizes that she is in the year 1996. She is reliving her 16th birthday. Although it is not her adolescent physique or high school crush that shocks her, it is her father. She again meets her 40-something-year-old father, all vital and charming. Leonard is a novelist. He earned money through writing profitable and popular science fiction Novels about two time-travelling brothers. The book also ended up as a television series. Alice has the opportunity to ask him questions and hear his stories. Alice also gets familiar with her forgotten school friends. Emma Straub is successful in making the readers nostalgic about the culture, film stars, and celebrities of the 1990s.
爱丽丝现在有机会以全新的视角看待她的父亲,一个不会在明天就离世的人。这些改变会对爱丽丝和莱纳德的未来有所帮助吗?爱丽丝逐渐熟悉了不同的自己,但哪一个最能引起她的共鸣呢?
Straub paints an appealing portrait of a father-daughter bond, of companionship, of life, and its glee, love, failure, sorrow, and confronts. The fleeting nature of life is unavoidable, approaching the need to physically appreciate loved ones in the here and now. Alice gets a second opportunity to do this through the travel time, intensifying her perception and awareness of her father Leonard. Can you imagine what would be like to meet your mum or dad back again when they are just about starting to get a bit old? How fascinating would it be to know them during their happiness and sadness? This is a splendidly engaging, optimistic, and captivating read that I think many readers will get pleasure from. This Time Tomorrow by Emma Straub is one of the best Novels of the time travel trope of this year.
