纽约时报畅销书排行榜第一名

“安妮·拉莫特是我的奥普拉。”——《芝加哥论坛报》

来自畅销书《黄昏、夜晚、黎明》和《帮助、谢谢、哇》的作者,一场欢乐的爱情庆典

“爱是我们唯一的希望,”安妮·拉莫特在这本富有洞察力的新书中写道。“它并不总是最容易的选择,但它始终是正确的选择,是高尚的道路,是安全回家的路,无论未来看起来多么暗淡。”

在《不知何故:关于爱的思考》中,拉莫特探索了爱在我们生活中的变革力量:它如何让我们感到惊讶,迫使我们面对令人不快的事实,提醒我们人性,并引导我们前进。“爱是不会被束缚的,”她说。“它就在我们的氛围中”​​,是我们的本性的核心。拉莫特说,我们是爱的产物。

在《不知何故》的每一章中,拉莫特都折射出光谱的所有颜色。她探索了对伴侣在晚年出乎意料的爱。对一个令她失望甚至害怕的孩子的伤痕累累的爱。一群罪人之间、对一个处于转型中的社区、对更广阔的世界的持久的爱。她强调的教训是,爱在教育的同时启迪人,在激励的同时安慰人,在惊喜的同时支撑人。

《不知何故》是安妮·拉莫特的第二十本书,书中她从自己的生活和经历出发,描绘了爱情在我们绝望时如何以亲密而基本的方式支撑着我们,激励我们相信明天会比今天更好。《不知何故》充满了同情心和人性,正是这些让拉莫特深受数百万读者的喜爱,是安妮·拉莫特的经典之作:风趣、温暖、睿智。

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

“Anne Lamott is my Oprah.” —Chicago Tribune

From the bestselling author of Dusk, Night, Dawn and Help, Thanks, Wow, a joyful celebration of love

“Love is our only hope,” Anne Lamott writes in this perceptive new book. “It is not always the easiest choice, but it is always the right one, the noble path, the way home to safety, no matter how bleak the future looks.”

In Somehow: Thoughts on Love, Lamott explores the transformative power that love has in our lives: how it surprises us, forces us to confront uncomfortable truths, reminds us of our humanity, and guides us forward. “Love just won’t be pinned down,” she says. “It is in our very atmosphere” and lies at the heart of who we are. We are, Lamott says, creatures of love.

In each chapter of Somehow, Lamott refracts all the colors of the spectrum. She explores the unexpected love for a partner later in life. The bruised (and bruising) love for a child who disappoints, even frightens. The sustaining love among a group of sinners, for a community in transition, in the wider world. The lessons she underscores are that love enlightens as it educates, comforts as it energizes, sustains as it surprises.

Somehow is Anne Lamott’s twentieth book, and in it she draws from her own life and experience to delineate the intimate and elemental ways that love buttresses us in the face of despair as it galvanizes us to believe that tomorrow will be better than today. Full of the compassion and humanity that have made Lamott beloved by millions of readers, Somehow is classic Anne Lamott: funny, warm, and wise.
