An innocent family tragicomedy, but also a dreamer's life adventure. The "dream" constructed throughout the book carries the light of ordinary life. There may be lives lost and dreams disillusioned, but hope is never lost. My father has always had two fantasies in his heart: first, that bears can live well in this world; second, that people can live their whole lives in hotels. He took his mother, five of us children, a bear, and an old dog, and opened the first "New Hampshire Hotel" on an abandoned school, followed by the second and third hotels. In half a century of hotel life, we have experienced a lot of sudden misfortunes. Whenever we dwell on the pain of the past, we always remember what our father said: Our most important duty is to enjoy the joys of life. "If you come into a great hotel broken and incomplete," my father said, "you will leave the great hotel whole."

No wonder it's a blockbuster new work from Haruki Murakami's idol John Irving! Find the person you love and then lose him... Juan, a well-known writer, grew up in a Mexican garbage dump and traveled to the Philippines in his later years. Memories from 40 years ago are like a mysterious avenue that always surrounds him: the books rescued from the garbage dump fire, the lost nose of the Virgin Mary in the orphanage, the gloomy lions in the circus... And the fearful face of his thirteen-year-old sister - because she predicted the future of herself and her brother. What would she do if she could change the future? The deeper Juan recalled, the more he pieced together a shocking truth, and grief surged over him. Juan was only fourteen years old at the time. He could not choose what he would become, let alone save anyone's future.
