內容簡介

擄獲全球科幻讀者的心、2019雨果獎Wayfarers系列的動人最終章

一場突如其來的科技事故,讓Gora星球的交通全面停擺。

一名面臨人生岔路的星際送貨員、一位趕赴重要家族之約的藝術家,以及從未離開雙胞胎手足、如今卻要獨自面對分離的旅人。素昧平生的三人因著這場意外,被困在星際中繼站,無法離開,但也無處可去。

在旅館老闆Ouloo與古靈精怪的孩子Tupo關照下,他們開始了漫長等待,同時也不得不回首過去,重新思索未來的方向,以及彼此之間,究竟能建立什麼樣的連結。

我們該如何與他人相遇?又該如何與自己和解?

承襲Wayfarers系列作一貫的溫柔真摯,Becky Chambers再次跨越種族、文化與星球的疆界,透過宏大的世界觀與細膩的刻劃,在浩瀚宇宙中,以真摯筆觸探索理解、善意與陪伴的力量。宇宙無垠,但我們仍能在彼此身上找到歸屬,而真正重要的相遇,未必發生在旅途終點,或許有些,正發生在每個我們必須停下腳步的時刻。

*FROM THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR AND HUGO AWARD WINNER FOR BEST SERIES*
The stunning finale to the award-winning Wayfarers series by Becky Chambers, author of the beloved The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet.
 
When a freak technological failure halts traffic to and from the planet Gora, three strangers are thrown together unexpectedly, with seemingly nothing to do but wait.
 
Pei is a cargo runner at a personal crossroads, torn between her duty to her people, and her duty to herself.
Roveg is an exiled artist, with a deeply urgent, and longed for, family appointment to keep.
 
Speaker has never been far from her twin but now must endure the unendurable: separation.
 
Under the care of Ouloo, an enterprising alien, and Tupo, her occasionally helpful child, the trio are compelled to confront where they've been, where they might go, and what they might be to one another.
 
Together they will discover that even in the vastness of space, they're not alone.
