Synopsis
Hotel du Lac tells the story of Edith Hope, who writes romance novels under a psudonym. When her life begins to resemble the plots of her own novels, however, Edith flees to Switzerland, where the quiet luxury of the Hotel du Lac promises to restore her to her senses. But instead of peace and rest, Edith finds herself sequestered at the hotel with an assortment of love’s casualties and exiles. She also attracts the attention of a worldly man determined to release her unused capacity for mischief and pleasure.

评分audiobook narrated by Anna Massey. 怪不得她对每一个人物都表达得如此传神,因为她在1986年演过这部电影。从女性小说家的角度看世界果然浪漫又真实,以小见大。其中有一段Mr Neville评价 Edith现在的状态真是击中我了,结尾反而平淡。事实上,当有人能够一针见血地评价你的状态,并不代表他有多么懂你,只是因为他善于如此。女人比男人更容易被击倒的原因就是永远有人在告诉你怎么做。
评分缺爱的、存在的意义仿佛就是为他人当陪衬的、在不为人知的角落偷偷叛逆着的女作家,终于像报复谁似的,公开反抗了。于是她被流放到灰蒙蒙的淡季度假酒店,季节当然是适合失败者的深秋。
评分最后三分之一还可以。布克奖也是随便发发。
