内容説明
Andy Catlett is nine years old when his Uncle Andrew is murdered. Still haunted by the death as an adult, Andy works to gather details of the tragedy from the fragile memories of family, neighbors, and friends. This beautiful, bittersweet novel was featured by Booklist , Library Journal , and the Louisville Courier-Journal as one of the best books of 1996. It is the summer of 1944, and nine-year-old Andy Catlett is engrossed in the wide easy countryside near Port William, Kentuckythe clear, cool water of Chathan Spring, fields full of tumblebugs and meadowlarks, and a sky so huge it seems a great gape of vision. But sadness, loss, and mystery invade Andys world on a hot July afternoon when his Uncle Andrew is murdered. No one tells the boy why his uncle and namesake was killed, and the question follows him into manhood.As the adult Andy revisits family history to gather fragments of truth about his uncle and the murder, he begins to understand the limits of fact, namely that the truth about us, though it must lie all around us every day, is mostly hidden from us, like birds nests in the woods.
