内容简介————————————
24岁的小镇青年吉尔伯特被困在麻木的生活里。
父亲自杀后，母亲因崩溃而暴食；弟弟阿尼有智力障碍，曾被医生诊断活不过十岁；姐姐为照顾家里付出了太多；妹妹正值青春期，极其任性......
他一边渴望逃离这个家，一边却不得不挑起重担。
直到有一天，小镇上新来的女孩贝基骑着自行车经过，吉尔伯特终于在暗淡的日常中看到一丝闪光。
生活究竟是为了什么？他们能否看到不一样的天空？

A “funny and supremely moving”novel about a seven-year-old navigating a world of turmoil by the author of What’s Eating Gilbert Grape (Harper’s Bazaar).
 
Seven-year-old Scotty Ocean decides that seven is going to be “his year.” But soon after his birthday, his artist-turned-alcoholic mother abandons the family—leaving Scotty and his two older sisters alone with their father. As his perfect year falls apart, Scotty begins to act out during school and takes a series of increasingly wild actions to try to win his mother back—and, when that doesn’t work, to replace her.
 
Funny and deeply affecting, An Ocean in Iowa traces Scotty’s desperate attempt to hold on to his childhood while the foundation of his family disintegrates. As Scotty’s year as a seven-year-old flies by—and the dreaded eight approaches—Peter Hedges explores how Scotty sheds his childhood in a one-eighty of the year he hoped would be so perfect. Beautifully written, and with careful attention to period detail, this compelling coming-of-age novel sets the private turmoil of a disintegrating family against the backdrop of the Vietnam War and the turbulent 1960s.
 
“A delightful romp through the age of seven with an endearing character who revels in life’s smallest details.” —The Christian Science Monitor
