Too many summaries, too few scenes so far,I am getting impatient.Alas, I take it all back,I am more and more drawn into it as I read on. The style is very much like that of Henry James',one of my favourite stylists.Even the sporadic use of french.
評分最後三分之一還可以。布剋奬也是隨便發發。
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。
