埃里克的人生就像通俗小报刊登的故事：他拐跑亲生女儿，为此锒铛入狱，随后写信向分居的妻子表示忏悔。这种人物最不可能赢得读者的青睐。多亏美国作家艾米蒂盖奇，她用妙笔将惊悚情节演绎成一个感人至深的故事，这就是盖奇的第三部小说《父亲的罪》。 <span word="Eric">Eric</span> <span word="s">s</span> <span

层层叠叠的谎言构成了埃里克的生活。八岁时以埃里克施罗德的化名，跟随父亲从东德搬迁至美国。六年后，他更名埃里克肯尼迪，有时被误认为那位惨遭暗杀的美国总统的亲戚，他也丝毫不介意。这些谎言为他日后的遭遇埋下祸根。和劳拉的婚姻生活竟然是如此的幸福，不过一切就在女儿麦朵四岁时烟消云散。一旦离婚，他不得不暴露真实身份，还有可能承受失去女儿的痛苦。想到这里，埃里克带着小麦朵逃匿到纽约州北部的森林里。 <span

这名落魄的父亲虽然满嘴谎言，善于编造身份，也许是个危险人物，他将跑路六日娓娓道来，语言却也赏心悦目。女作家不惜笔墨，主角形象丰满，读后令人同情，此乃小说最大亮点。她笔下的埃里克时而富有远见卓识，时而滑稽古怪不负责任，时而自欺欺人，时而头脑清醒。提到下定切断过去远逃异乡的决心时，埃里克如此解释：每次我的女儿离开时，世界了无生机，我再也受不了了。他的叙述充满歉意和真诚，成就一部深刻思考绝望亲情的惊悚小说，其中不乏美丽的语言。

《父亲的罪》脱俗之处不仅在于思想深刻，更在于语言奇妙。天上下的不再是雨水，而是蒸发后重新分配的集体冲突。劳拉谨慎地认知真相。女作家盖奇女士不仅擅长于描写景致，赋予笔下的山中湖一种静谧透彻的美，而且深谙可能失去某些人或事时的恐惧。埃里克认识到，世上真正使我们疯狂的仅此一物，那就是爱的消逝。唯一不足之处是，小说充斥着飞行和分裂的意象，影射主人公逃离的东德，这一比喻太露骨，反而减少品读并不完美却舐犊情深的父亲形象的乐趣。
