我想我是因為自己在紐西蘭呆了一年 去過霍基蒂卡與但尼丁 知道這些地理環境 也瞭解一些毛利文化 再加上幾個博物館看過淘金時期的資料 尤其一些中國人留下的地圖與影像 https://youtu.be/xUPmQLt7Vrc 這印象對我閱讀這本書幫助很大 不過我向來討厭多人同譯一書 那表示翻譯過...
评分中译《明》(豆瓣说是哈利波特系列的译者的作品),又是本在我的audible里积灰了快五年,终于听完的书。值得二刷。鉴于作者一上来就把十几个人物“chua”地一股脑摆在读者面前,听有声书是个好主意——口音有时候要比人名好辨认。 这本书的结构挺神奇:章节的长度是递减的,每...

From the acclaimed author of The Rehearsal comes a novel about a young woman on trial for murder in nineteenth-century New Zealand.
On a blustery January day, a prostitute is arrested. In the midst of the 1866 gold rush on the coast of New Zealand, this might have gone unnoticed. But three notable events occur on that same day: a luckless drunk dies, a wealthy man vanishes, and a ship's captain of ill repute cancels all of his business and weighs anchor, as if making an escape. Anna Wetherell, the prostitute in question, is connected to all three men.
This sequence of apparently coincidental events provokes a secret council of powerful townsmen to investigate. But they are interrupted by the arrival of a stranger: young Walter Moody, who has a secret of his own...
THE LUMINARIES is an intricately crafted feat of storytelling, a mystery that reveals the ways our interconnected lives reshape our destinies.
Winner of the 2013 Man Booker Prize
不错
评分因为kindle版减价所以买下来。想去搜一下plot剧透但发现goodreads和douban都没有就作罢。看了四分之一,感觉情节进展缓慢,语言啰嗦。每个人物性格都从第三人称角度来写,在旁观中剖析,让人没有和书中人感同身受的共情感觉。有点枯燥,也许是我不太喜欢看破案小说吧
评分这种事无巨细地描述角色性格、经历和行为动机有些让我想到《一句顶一万句》,两者因而也都必然触及了人与人之间的无法理解和难以排解的孤独。不过本书相比而言更温暖一些。 占星的术语我并不能理解深意,灵异内容也略有些frustrating,并且Anna和Crosbie的过去让我觉得有些不太能理解,但除此之外没有什么觉得不满的。 Crosbie和阿苏故事最为让我悲伤。
评分实在看不完 大约还有四分之一我弃了 全程非常乏味 淘金 seance 这样的题材都写不出好内容i don't know what?? 我好像还在网站上等了一阵子的蓝色软本 偶尔丢一些占星知识出来也是非常浅显 还不如占星术杀人事件有创意 看的不是内容 是期待
评分读了前面二十页已经有种弃掉的感觉了……这絮絮叨叨却又缺乏力度的文风我也是有点撑不起
