精彩书评：
“Big, absorbing, smart, fantastically readable.”—Nick Hornby, from his blog
“Fluid, expertly paced, highly observed, and at times, both funny and moving.”—Boston Globe
“A light but surprisingly deep romance so thoroughly satisfying.” —Entertainment Weekly
“A great, funny, and heart-breaking read.”—The Early Show[CBS]
“[An] instant classic… One of the most hilarious and emotionally riveting love stories you’ll ever encounter.” —People
“Nicholls offers sharp dialogue and wry insight that sounds like Nick Hornby at his best.” —The Daily Beast(A Best Book of the Summer)
“Just as Nicholls has made full use of his central concept, so he has drawn on all his comic and literary gifts to produce a novel that is not only roaringly funny but also memorable, moving and, in its own unassuming, unpretentious way, rather profound.”—The Guardian(London)
“A wonderful, wonderful book: wise, funny, perceptive, compassionate and often unbearably sad… the best British social novel since Jonathan Coe’s What a Carve Up! Nicholls’s witty prose has a transparency that brings Nick Hornby to mind: it melts as you read it so that you don’t notice all the hard work that it’s doing. ”—The Times(London)
出身平凡的爱玛与俊美自恋的花花公子德克斯特原本像两道平行线，不会有任何交集。大学毕业前夕的一天，两人短暂邂逅，称不上甜蜜，却深深印入彼此心中柔软的部分。此后每年同一天，伦敦、罗马、巴黎、爱丁堡，时空变换，他们焦灼、倾诉、挂念、幻想、安慰、伤害，总是在需要彼此的时刻，一再错过。二十年追逐的尽头，是甘美的琼浆，还是苦涩的酸汁？如果早点懂得，幸福会不会更久一些？
IT’S 1988 AND DEXTER MAYHEW AND EMMA MORLEY HAVE only just met. But after only one day together, they cannot stop thinking about one another. Over twenty years, snapshots of that relationship are revealed on the same day—July 15th—of each year. Dex and Em face squabbles and fights, hopes and missed opportunities, laughter and tears. And as the true meaning of this one crucial day is revealed, they must come to grips with the nature of love and life itself.

CHAPTER ONE
‘THE FUTURE’
Friday 15TH July 1988
Rankeillor Street, Edinburgh
‘I suppose the important thing is to make some sort of difference,’ she said. ‘You know, actually change something.’
‘What, like “change the world”, you mean?’
‘Not the whole entire world. Just the little bit around you.’
They lay in silence for a moment, bodies curled around each other in the single bed, then both began to laugh in low, pre-dawn voices. ‘Can’t believe I just said that,’ she groaned. ‘Sounds a bit corny, doesn’t it?’
‘A bit corny.’
‘I’m trying to be inspiring! I’m trying to lift your grubby soul for the great adventure that lies ahead of you.’ She turned to face him. ‘Not that you need it. I expect you’ve got your future nicely mapped out, ta very much. Probably got a little flow-chart somewhere or something.’
‘Hardly.’
‘So what’re you going to do then? What’s the great plan?’
‘Well, my parents are going to pick up my stuff, dump it at theirs, then I’ll spend a couple of days in their flat in London, see some friends. Then France-’
‘Very nice-’
‘Then China maybe, see what that’s all about, then maybe onto India, travel around there for a bit-’
‘Traveling,’ she sighed. ‘So predictable.’
‘What’s wrong with travelling?’
‘Avoiding reality more like.’
‘I think reality is over-rated,’ he said in the hope that this might come across as dark and charismatic.
She sniffed. ‘S’alright, I suppose, for those who can afford it. Why not just say “I’m going on holiday for two years”? It’s the same thing.’
