What if you were told a devastating secret, a secret that had been guarded from you for thirty years, which shattered your view of your family and your marriage forever? Bilingual writer Annabel Annuo Liu chose to bury the secret and maintain the family façade. More than twenty years later, however, struggling to make sense of her life, she wrote her tenth book, the second volume of her memoirs.Unflinchingly candid and powerful, Under the Towering Tree: A Daughter’s Memoir is a story within a story. It depicts the startling and heartbreaking family intrigue lurking beneath Liu’s seemingly calm, content, and well-established life. Spanning four generations and two cultures, it is a portrait of a marriage, a family psychological drama, a mystery story, and a survivor’s tale.苦苦隱藏了三十年的秘密,終被揭露,徹底摧毀了雙語作家劉安諾對家庭及婚姻的觀感。她選擇保守秘密,繼續維持和睦家庭的假像。忽忽二十餘年,劉安諾回首前塵往事,寫成了她的第十冊,也是第二本英文書。《在巨樹下:一個女兒的回憶錄》,故事中另有故事。描述劉安諾看來平穩生活下的錯綜複雜,令人震驚、心碎的另一面。涵括四代及雙種文化,此書是不尋常的婚姻縮影、是深入探討心理的戲劇、是推理故事、也是倖存者的忠實記錄。劉安諾(Annabel Annuo Liu),臺灣大學法律系畢業,美國密蘇里州立大學新聞碩士。曽執教愛荷華州立科技大學及田納西州立大學,為愛州狄摩因紀事報及艾姆斯論壇報撰寫人物專訪與客串專欄,亦曽為美華論壇雜誌與亞細亞報撰寫英文專欄。其餘中英文作品散見於各中文報及田州橡樹嶺人報。作品曽獲臺灣大華晚報散文獎、 梁實秋文學翻譯獎、及愛州新聞婦女寫作協會特寫首獎。著有散文集《一杯半咖啡》、《笑語人生》、《人間多幽默》、《風流與幽默》、《哈囉,希兒薇亞!》、散文及短篇小說合集《浮世情懷》、中篇小說《愛情的獵人》、中英散文選《乘著微笑的翅膀》、及英文回憶錄《姓張名真的歲月:兩場戰爭,一個童年》九冊。
