The Rainbow of TimeAuthor: Jimmy LIAO
Publisher: Locus Publishing Company Published Date: 2011/11 【Synopsis】 When she was little, the girl lost her mother. Whenever the girl cried for Mama, her Papa would say, “Let’s go see a movie! After all, Mama used to love to watch movies, so maybe one day we’ll run into her at the cinema.” The girl always fantasized that one day she would come across her mother at the movie theater, and she always projected her own life into the dramas being played out up on the silver screen…. One day she met a boy who liked the movies as much as she did. The two would go to the cinema after school and passionately discuss the film on the way home. Not long after, the boy emigrated overseas with his whole family, and they lost contact. But they had promised each other that one day they would meet again in the cinema. After graduating from school, whenever she felt exhausted from work, she would escape to the cinema to enter the quiet, secluded world of a film. She met him in a movie theater, and he worked in the film world. He told her ideas about the films he wanted to make, and she told him about the films she wanted to see. Their love was like the kind depicted in films, where the lovers would form a small household together. But like some films, life can be unpredictable. One day, they parted at the doorway to the cinema. It was the last time that she would ever see him. But she discovered that she wouldn’t have to go the movies alone—because she had a young life growing inside her belly…… 【About the Author】 Jimmy Liao is Taiwan’s favorite author-illustrator.
