Bitter Orange by Claire Fuller mobi epub azw3 pdf 电子书下载

从林顿这个破旧的英国乡村豪宅的阁楼上，弗朗西斯-杰利科看到了他们--首先是卡拉：黑暗而美丽，然后是彼得：醒目而严肃。这对夫妇1969年夏天在她下面的房间里度过，而弗兰西斯正在研究周围花园里的建筑。但她心不在焉。在她的浴室的一块地板下，她发现了一个窥视孔，使她能够进入邻居的私人生活。

令弗朗西斯惊讶的是，卡拉和彼得很想了解她。这是她第一次有了可以称之为朋友的人，不久之后，他们每天都在一起：吃奢华的晚餐，喝一瓶又一瓶的酒，抽烟，直到烟灰堆积在摇摇欲坠的家具上。弗朗西丝眼花缭乱。文章源自：力哥爱英语（ienglish521.com）力哥爱英语-https://ienglish521.com/2719.html

但是，随着炎热的夏天懒洋洋地滚滚而来，很明显，卡拉和彼得之间并非一切正常。卡拉讲的故事并不完全吻合，随着弗兰西斯越来越多地卷入这对迷人的享乐主义夫妇的生活，真相与谎言、对与错之间的界限开始变得模糊不清。在颓废的生活中，一个小的犯罪带来了一个大的犯罪：一个可怕的犯罪，它将给他们的生活打上永远的烙印。文章源自：力哥爱英语（ienglish521.com）力哥爱英语-https://ienglish521.com/2719.html

From the attic of Lyntons, a dilapidated English country mansion, Frances Jellico sees them—Cara first: dark and beautiful, then Peter: striking and serious. The couple is spending the summer of 1969 in the rooms below hers while Frances is researching the architecture in the surrounding gardens. But she's distracted. Beneath a floorboard in her bathroom, she finds a peephole that gives her access to her neighbors’ private lives.文章源自：力哥爱英语（ienglish521.com）力哥爱英语-https://ienglish521.com/2719.html

To Frances' surprise, Cara and Peter are keen to get to know her. It is the first occasion she has had anybody to call a friend, and before long they are spending every day together: eating lavish dinners, drinking bottle after bottle of wine, and smoking cigarettes until the ash piles up on the crumbling furniture. Frances is dazzled.文章源自：力哥爱英语（ienglish521.com）力哥爱英语-https://ienglish521.com/2719.html

But as the hot summer rolls lazily on, it becomes clear that not everything is right between Cara and Peter. The stories that Cara tells don’t quite add up, and as Frances becomes increasingly entangled in the lives of the glamorous, hedonistic couple, the boundaries between truth and lies, right and wrong, begin to blur. Amid the decadence, a small crime brings on a bigger one: a crime so terrible that it will brand their lives forever.文章源自：力哥爱英语（ienglish521.com）力哥爱英语-https://ienglish521.com/2719.html
