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.

評分如果是奔著1984年布剋奬的光環來讀此書,不好意思,您可能要失望瞭;如果你是一個女權主義者,可能此趟閱讀也達不到您的期望,安妮塔·布魯剋納和A.S.拜厄特一樣有著學院派的背景,不過是一個筆下看似平淡如水卻暗流湧動的女性小說傢,她不急不緩,探尋著女性的心路曆程,在探...
評分文/夏麗檸 讀完《杜蘭葛山莊》,你一定會奇怪評委們怎麼可能把1984年的布剋奬頒給安妮塔.布魯剋納?這本小說格局這麼小。寫的是在一個瑞士的莊園式酒店裏,幾個女人一颱戲地互相揣摩、暗藏心機的一段故事。根本就比不上1983年獲奬的《邁剋爾•K的生活和時代》。庫切的敘事嚮...

最後三分之一還可以。布剋奬也是隨便發發。
評分消遣讀,沒有特彆喜惡。筆法不尋常,是那種寫景都能往抽象裏去的調式。寫人的時候倒往往很精彩,足見wording上下的功夫。翻譯絕對會很纍。前文過於平淡,倒是襯托瞭一下結尾的迷你高潮。但是高潮的鋪墊又不充分,整個Mr N 的存在違和感強烈。
評分audiobook narrated by Anna Massey. 怪不得她對每一個人物都錶達得如此傳神,因為她在1986年演過這部電影。從女性小說傢的角度看世界果然浪漫又真實,以小見大。其中有一段Mr Neville評價 Edith現在的狀態真是擊中我瞭,結尾反而平淡。事實上,當有人能夠一針見血地評價你的狀態,並不代錶他有多麼懂你,隻是因為他善於如此。女人比男人更容易被擊倒的原因就是永遠有人在告訴你怎麼做。
評分最後三分之一還可以。布剋奬也是隨便發發。
評分喜歡結尾/對人物心理微妙的描摹/還有那充滿冷感的筆調。讀完這篇對她的訪談後更愛此書瞭http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/books/authorinterviews/4639980/A-singular-woman.html
