A Long Walk to Water
【戰火下的尋水之心】
戰亂烽火中,兩段尋找旱中甘霖的故事,展現年輕生命求生的意志。妮雅和村莊裡的每個人一樣,每天要走八個小取水,才能維持自己與家人的生計。薩爾瓦因戰爭流離失所,與家人分散,逃難中受盡磨難與危險。本書改編自真實發生在蘇丹的故事,不僅陳述戰火帶來的影響,也描述水資源的重要。
A Long Walk to Water begins as two stories, told in alternating sections, about two eleven-year-olds in Sudan, a girl in 2008 and a boy in 1985. The girl, Nya, is fetching water from a pond that is two hours’ walk from her home: she makes two trips to the pond every day. The boy, Salva, becomes one of the "lost boys" of Sudan, refugees who cover the African continent on foot as they search for their families and for a safe place to stay.
