内容简介

The Snowman s Children is a poignant， psychologically intense first novel that tells the story of an incident from one man s childhood in the 1970s， when a serial killer called The Snowman stalked the streets of suburban Detroit. The incident， a result of good but woefully misguided juvenile intentions， forced his family to leave their home， and eventually forced him， at age twenty-nine， to return to his hometown in search of three old friends. Reminiscent of both To Kill a Mockingbird in its touching portrait of childhood， and the beautifully written brand of suspense that calls to mind Smilla s Sense of Snow， The Snowman s Children is an unusually controlled and original novel that establishes Hirshberg as an important new voice in American literature.
