內容簡介
【推開封閉的一扇窗,照亮格格不入的人生】
 
就讀特殊學校的高中生馬塞羅總是能聽到他人無法聽到的音樂-這是他自閉症的症狀之一,而且鮮少有醫生能判別這樣的病徵。然而,馬塞羅的爸爸從來都不相信音樂或兒子的與眾不同,身為律師界風雲人物的他只希望孩子盡快變得成熟、習得一技之長並能夠適應社會,因此安排馬塞羅到自己的律師事務所實習一個暑假,以便讓他知道什麼是「真實世界」。
 
The term "cognitive disorder" implies there is something wrong with the way I think or the way I perceive reality. I perceive reality just fine. Sometimes I perceive more of reality than others.Marcelo Sandoval hears music that nobody else can hear ― part of an autism-like condition that no doctor has been able to identify. But his father has never fully believed in the music or Marcelo's differences, and he challenges Marcelo to work in the mailroom of his law firm for the summer . . . to join "the real world."There Marcelo meets Jasmine, his beautiful and surprising coworker, and Wendell, the son of another partner in the firm. He learns about competition and jealousy, anger and desire. But it's a picture he finds in a file a picture of a girl with half a face that truly connects him with the real world: its suffering, its injustice, and what he can do to fight.
