《荆棘之城》的迷人之处在于你能通过它进入另外一种生活,不是我们双眼紧闭也仍然熟悉,肌肤日益粗糙,激情日益干燥的生活,也不是作家萨拉•沃特斯的生活,它是另外一种与我们世界平行的生活——这一次穿越幽暗诡谲、具有哥特气质的荆棘地,我们进入的是维多利亚旧时...

评分这一次,我没有晕倒。我凝视着萨克比太太的脸,第一次发现我们原来长得如此相似。 我仿佛突然明白了,长久以来,我身上那些邪恶的品行似乎由此找到了真正的原因:我的母亲,既不是疯了的千金小姐,也不是因为杀人而被绞死的贼,她是一个狡猾无情的骗子。如果可以选择,我宁愿我...
评分当我打开《指匠》(Fingersmith,台湾译名《荆棘之城》)时,心里不由怀疑:莎拉•沃特斯(Sarah Waters)创造的会不会是一个古怪沉闷、娇弱华贵的维多利亚中期世界?伦敦的穷街僻巷、城堡的威严荒凉、奇情的恋爱故事,会不会只有偏嗜者才能偶然注目?我是这样开始读《指匠》...

London 1862. Sue Trinder, orphaned at birth, grows up among petty thieves - fingersmiths - under the rough but loving care of Mrs Sucksby and her 'family'. But from the moment she draws breath, Sue's fate is linked to that of another orphan growing up in a gloomy mansion not too many miles away.
三星半。终于读完了,比想象中难读许多,在于文字的疏离感吧,代入感不强。叙事的对称性很特别,极为精致。但情节本身 twist 得有些狗血啊。
评分莫德是本写满晦暗的书,可惜小骗子望着她,目不识丁
评分太多的逆转中精神病院门口的那一幕最最惊心动魄。莫德如此精致而脆弱,对比起她在伦敦街头的无措,Susan在精神病院里的顽强生命力似乎让人相信二十年前那个母亲的决定可能是正确的。什么都比不上人生初见的情动。
评分看了英文版发现中文翻译不但很多地方翻得跟原意有出入,还删掉很多,虽然不影响情节,但明显是有些地方翻译觉得不太好翻就干脆不翻了,太偷工减料了吧╮(╯_╰)╭
