Re: Christmas Eve at Friday Harbor
親愛的聖誕老人︰
今年我只要一樣東西
一個媽媽
請不要忘記現在我住在Friday Harbor ,謝謝!
愛你的Holly
故事是設定在小鎮Friday Harbor ,單親媽媽Victoria Nolan車禍喪生,留下六歲女兒Holly,因過度驚嚇,Holly從此不發一語。Victoria 有三兄弟:Mark、Sam、 Alex,Holly的監護權落在老大Mark身上,他單身,經營咖啡烘焙業,忽然要面對養育一個小女孩的重責大任,不知所措,便要求老二Sam幫忙,隨後搬入Sam 葡萄園的屋子。
Mark重實際,不相信童話,不追求虛幻的浪漫,女朋友Shelby也是一般世俗條件下的選擇,直到遇上Maggie。她結婚不久,丈夫就罹癌過世,隨後搬到Friday Harbor 開了玩具店,重新開始。那段在病榻陪伴丈夫,眼睜睜看所愛的人一日日邁向死亡,令她痛苦萬分,決心平靜度日,不再與人建立親密關係,但遇上Mark ,心中再也無法平靜了…
很老梗的故事,情節發展大多預料的到,裡面沒有壞人,有的是可愛的小孩,一隻畸形牛頭犬,知道全鎮大小事的玩具店員工,溺愛姪女的Sam叔叔,整本書溫馨感人,只有一場福利畫面, 而且是輕描淡寫。故事結尾想當然是在聖誕節,你猜聖誕老人有沒有達成Holly的願望呢?
Lisa在書中一些話語很令人玩味:
**人越聰明, 就越多原因會讓你過的很悲慘 (迷之音: 神經大條的人, 過的比較快樂)
**看過了, 聽到了, 做完了, 只是完全記不得 ~~~(嗯, 好像在說我)
**孤獨不會讓人得到安全,那就只是孤獨。
還有很多,翻不出來,請大家自己看書吧!
拍成電視是在Hallmark 頻道播放。

Lisa 一向是我的菜, 不過一開始男主角居然有女朋友, 扣一葉 !

Re: Christmas Eve at Friday Harbor
男女主角都有各自的心結,因彼此互動相處中(外加可愛的Holly)而漸漸解開心結走出過往,很溫馨的情結,讓人看了覺得心暖暖的。
Holly在Maggie的玩具店再次開口說話那段真是感人,Lisa功力真好,寫出了如此溫馨自然的場景。
Mark真的有好爸爸的潛力。不但為了Holly而再次拾起童話故事,還因為Holly的聖誕願望而考慮和女友Shelby共組家庭(雖然理由實際到讓人無言),言行中都看得出是以Holly為第一考量。以新手監護人來說,幾乎是滿分的爸爸!
