From the Booker Prize-winning, bestselling author of Remains of the Day comes this stunning work of soaring imagination.

Born in early-twentieth-century Shanghai, Banks was orphaned at the age of nine after the separate disappearances of his parents. Now, more than twenty years later, he is a celebrated figure in London society; yet the investigative expertise that has garnered him fame has done little to illuminate the circumstances of his parents' alleged kidnappings. Banks travels to the seething, labyrinthine city of his memory in hopes of solving the mystery of his own, painful past, only to find that war is ravaging Shanghai beyond recognition-and that his own recollections are proving as difficult to trust as the people around him.

Masterful, suspenseful and psychologically acute, When We Were Orphans offers a profound meditation on the shifting quality of memory, and the possibility of avenging one’s past.

读后感

在民国梦一度盛行又开始被解构的当下，读这本书还有点意思。 1.最重要的是Christopher这个角色的理想主义和软弱、中立和冷漠。 作为一个理想主义者，当他面对庸碌的逐利之徒时，明明是后者更叫人恶心，前者反而总是显得无理取闹和幼稚。这一点在他回到上海之后尤其明显，穿越...

1、石黑一雄擅长运用零星的回忆编织故事，他认为通过这样一个过滤器，我们可以审视自己的生活。在《上海孤儿》中你大概就可以领略到他这一“娴熟的技巧”。但我有时担心的是，频繁使用这样的技巧会不会助长作家在叙述上的惰性。对于场景、事件地转换、过渡对很多作家来说有时要...  

《我辈孤雏》推荐： 非常精彩！这部小说是石黑一雄的第五部长篇小说，也是我自从被他的《被掩埋的巨人》圈粉之后看的第六本石黑的作品，对于他这样一个非常低产的作家来说，能做到每部作品都能保持如此高的水准，足以看出石黑对于文学创作的态度和野心（绝不流于用数量来博关注...  

用户评价

But for those like us, our fate is to face the world as orphans, chasing through long years the shadows of vanished parents.

如果是混乱的记忆导致了故事的混乱，一切似乎都可原谅。但是内心还是无法接受。

每一部小说都能拍成一部电影～看他的书 脑子里就是很多电影长镜头 在每一个描述美好回忆细节的同时 隐隐感觉到日后发现真相时的痛苦和震惊！

跟上海不期而遇了。

前三分之二写得很好，最后一部分莫名的编造感很重。但更大的问题是，一个外国人对二十世纪早期的中国和中国人的呈现，似乎让人不太舒服。
