  • 本書介紹
非洲裔美國女孩Flora和白人男孩Henry彼此出生在相隔數個街區，分開數年後，他們再次相遇，彼此對音樂的熱愛激發了兩人更強大的聯繫。
但是Flora和Henry不知道他們是「永恆對手愛與死」遊戲中的棋子，遊戲中，他們被巧妙地重新構想為兩個極為令人同情和迷人的角色。
他們的內心和意志不僅可以克服他們的塵世境遇，而且可以克服在整個歷史中戰鬥的力量嗎？ 在1920年代多雨的西雅圖，浪漫氣氛在爵士俱樂部，富人的豪宅和貧民窟的貧民窟中綻放。 但是更強大的是：愛？ 還是死亡？

Not since THE BOOK THIEF has the character of Death played such an original and affecting part in a book for young people.

Flora and Henry were born a few blocks from each other, innocent of the forces that might keep a white boy and an African American girl apart; years later they meet again and their mutual love of music sparks an even more powerful connection. But what Flora and Henry don't know is that they are pawns in a game played by the eternal adversaries Love and Death, here brilliantly reimagined as two extremely sympathetic and fascinating characters. Can their hearts and their wills overcome not only their earthly circumstances, but forces that have battled throughout history? In the rainy Seattle of the 1920's, romance blooms among the jazz clubs, the mansions of the wealthy, and the shanty towns of the poor. But what is more powerful: love? Or death?
