THE DINNER
Book ID/图书代码： 00434726C00008
English Summary/英文概要： NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The darkly suspenseful tale of two families struggling to make the hardest decision of their lives—all over the course of one meal. Now a major motion picture.
“Chilling, nasty, smart, shocking, and unputdownable.”—Gillian Flynn, author of Gone Girl
It’s a summer’s evening in Amsterdam, and two couples meet at a fashionable restaurant for dinner. Between mouthfuls of food and over the scrapings of cutlery, the conversation remains a gentle hum of polite discourse. But behind the empty words, terrible things need to be said, and with every forced smile and every new course, the knives are being sharpened.
Each couple has a fifteen-year-old son. The two boys are united by their accountability for a single horrific act—an act that has triggered a police investigation and shattered the comfortable, insulated worlds of their families. As the dinner reaches its culinary climax, the conversation finally touches on their children, and as civility and friendship disintegrate, each couple shows just how far they are prepared to go to protect those they love.

为了想保护的人，你究竟能牺牲到什么地步？
身处上流社会的赛吉家境优渥，夫妻和睦，他的弟弟保罗则是普通人，兄弟之间几乎没有交集。某一日，赛吉对保罗发出邀请，他和妻子选择在一家需要提前数月才能订位的法式餐厅宴请保罗夫妇。他们谈伍迪•艾伦，聊最新时尚，然而，看似单纯简单的家庭聚会，实际是为了解决一个难缠的事件：一名流浪女在银行自动取款机隔间被人殴打后烧死，随后记录下犯罪者活动的视频流传于网络，行凶者正是赛吉与保罗各自的儿子——里克和米歇尔。平静的餐桌之上，事情越来越不可控。
当欺瞒中显露出友爱，当谎言中流露出真相，事件背后，两家各自背负了什么隐情？为了保护自己的孩子，他们又愿意做出何种牺牲？一场家庭、夫妻、兄弟与父子间的尔虞我诈和勾心斗角即将在晚餐桌上展开……(DB)
