我抓起小说就读,不知道作者萨拉·沃特斯(Sarah Waters)是英国最瞩目的现代作家,对《荆棘之城》(Fingersmith)中1861年英国伦敦阴暗潮湿,烟囱吐着黄烟,小商贩在泥地叫卖,喧哗嘈杂而又更深雾重的景色还以为出自狄更斯这样的古典作家手笔呢。 故事情节十分有趣儿:伦敦兰...

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》...

From the author of the New York Times Notable Book Tipping the Velvet and the award-winning Affinity: a spellbinding, twisting tale of a great swindle, of fortunes and hearts won and lost, set in Victorian London among a family of thieves.
Sue Trinder is an orphan, left as an infant in the care of Mrs. Sucksby, a "baby farmer," who raised her with unusual tenderness, as if Sue were her own. Mrs. Sucksby's household, with its fussy babies calmed with doses of gin, also hosts a transient family of petty thieves-fingersmiths-for whom this house in the heart of a mean London slum is home.
One day, the most beloved thief of all arrives-Gentleman, a somewhat elegant con man, who carries with him an enticing proposition for Sue: If she wins a position as the maid to Maud Lilly, a naïve gentlewoman, and aids Gentleman in her seduction, then they will all share in Maud's vast inheritance. Once the inheritance is secured, Maud will be left to live out her days in a mental hospital. With dreams of paying back the kindness of her adopted family, Sue agrees to the plan. Once in, however, Sue begins to pity her helpless mark and care for Maud Lilly in unexpected ways. . . . But no one and nothing is as it seems in this > Dickensian novel of thrills and surprises.
The New York Times Book Review has called Sarah Waters a writer of "consummate skill" and The Seattle Times has praised her work as "gripping, astute fiction that feeds the mind and the senses." Fingersmith marks a major leap forward in this young and brilliant career.
完全就是奔这那几个镜头去买的
评分写得好,拍得也好
评分一本书读半年,破纪录了好吗!
评分要有多愛才會原諒彼此,要有多愛才要走遍世界也要找到你。儘管電影已經很棒了,但原著才是真正掀開人物靈魂的手。"But then, I grew still. I was thinking of Maud, starting up with the knife. I was thinking of Maud, letting me hate her. I was thinking of Maud, making me think she'd hurt me, to save me knowing who had hurt me most..."
评分虽然结局有点匆忙 但真是好书一部!!
