Product Description

内容説明

9 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list!

"A novel that attests once again to Ms. Tyler's enormous gifts as a writer."
--THE NEW YORK TIMES

"Captivating . . . . Compelling . . . . There is a kind of magic at work in this novel."
--THE WASHINGTON POST BOOK WORLD


In 1965, the happy Bedloe family is living an ideal, apple-pie existence in Baltimore.  Then, in the blink of an eye, a single tragic event occurs that will transform their lives forever--particularly that of seventeen-year-old Ian Bedloe, the youngest son, who blames himself for the sudden "accidental" death of his older brother.

Depressed and depleted, Ian is almost crushed under the weight of an unbearable, secret guilt.  Then one crisp January evening, he catches sight of a window with glowing yellow neon, the CHURCH OF THE SECOND CHANCE.  He enters and soon discovers that forgiveness must be earned, through a bit of sacrifice and a lot of love...


A New York Times Notable Book


Amazon.com

Tyler makes things look so easy that she never gets enough credit, yet she portrays everyday Americans with such humor, grace and, ultimately, emotional force that her books are always deeply satisfying. In Saint Maybe her protagonist Ian Bedloe, stricken with guilt over the death of his older brother, raises three children unrelated to him by blood. He is strengthened in this Herculean task by the storefront Church of the Second Chance, to which he devotes himself with equal fervor. Someone once said all great writers are comic writers. Among living Americans, Tyler is exhibit A.

5.0 out of 5 stars 読み出したら止まらないentertainingな名作, 2003/4/29
乱暴にまとめてしまうなら、単に「ある青年の悲劇的な人生」ということになるのかもしれない。しかし、アン・タイラーは主人公Ianの人生をjudgeすることは決してしないし、読者へ教訓を与えようとすることもない。

読者は、Ianの、悲劇的なのかもしれないが(あるいは、「聖なるものなのかもしれない("Saint Maybe")」が)、おそらく誰にでも起こり得る人生を、文字通り、目の当たりにすることになるだけだ。もちろん、いつものアン・タイラー節で・・・誰もが遭遇した記憶のある、一見些細な出来事の瞬間の美しさ・ユーモアを見逃さないこの驚異的な筆力といったら!

Ianが、teenagerの頃にお兄さんをひょんなことから失ってしまい、それを自分のせいだと思いこんでしまうのがこの本の発端だ。彼はふらふらカルト宗教みたいなものに入っていったり、結婚もせずに子供の世話をする羽目になったりといろいろと苦労を背負うことになるのだが、ここで宗教的な話題が真っ向から扱われることはない。あくまでも、現代の人間の誰もが持つ弱さのようなものが、美しく、そして愛情深く描かれていくだけだ。読者はプロットを追う!楽しみよりも、アン・タイラーが描写するヴィヴィッドに脳裏に浮かぶ場面場面を想像する楽しみにえも言われぬ幸福感を覚えることになる。

特にこの本にはアン・タイラーお得意の「子供の描写」がたくさん出てくるのだが、まさに彼女しか言葉に出来ない場面の描写力である。読了後しばらく経った今でも、映画のように脳裏に思い浮かぶほどだ・・・。

3.0 out of 5 stars 英語は易しいと評している人もいましたが....., 2006/2/3
レビューの評判がよかったので読んでみました。英語は私の力不足のため難しく感じました。従って、内容もあまり理解できず、感動もしませんでした。ただところどころ、笑えたり、ハラハラさせられたり、そうだよなあと納得する場面もありました。英語の力がついてからまた読み返してみたいと思います。

4.0 out of 5 stars 「生きる」意味を問いかける本, 2005/6/13
By benkeiu (東京都) - See all my reviews
僕はつい、(自分も含めて)人の人生なんて、取るに足らないものだと思いがちです。有名人のような事件やスキャンダルからは無縁で、一日一日が淡々と、無為に過ぎていく…

でも、よくみると一人一人がそれぞれでしか感じ得ない重みの経験をし、人格なり考え方なりをつくっていく、というシンプルな事実を思い出させてくれる本でした。

それにしても、子供たちの描写のうまいことといったら!うちの子供の小さかった頃をつい思い出してしまいました。そうした愛くるしい子供たちが大人になっての変わりようときたら!これもまたうまいなぁ、と感嘆ものです。
