A child born of chance might imagine that Chance was its father, in the way that gods fathered children, and then abandoned them, without a backward glance, but with one small gift. I wondered if a gift had been left for me. I had no idea where to look, or what I was looking for, but I know now that all important journeys start that way. 'Motherless and anchorless, Silver is taken in by the timeless Mr. Pew, keeper of the Cape Wrath lighthouse. Pew tells Silver ancient tales of longing and rootlessness, of ties that bind and of the slippages that occur throughout every life. One life, Babel Dark's, a nineteenth century clergyman, opens like a map that Silver must follow. Caught in her own particular darknesses, she embarks on an Ulyssean sift through the stories we tell ourselves, stories of love and loss, of passion and longing, stories of unending journeys that move through places and times, and the bleak finality of the shores of betrayal. But finally, "I love you. The most difficult words in the world. But what else can I say?" A story of mutability, of talking birds and stolen books, of Darwin and Stevenson and of the Jekyll and Hyde in all of us.

Winterson的語言非常美,像蘇格蘭北方海灣裏溫柔的浪。 作者有意識地徐徐釋放著書中人物的情感、推進他們的故事,又將其混入詩般文字的韻律感中,如波浪般在我腦海裏一脈一脈地嚮前舞動。而且,雖說具此美感,她的語言其實又簡煉得驚人,已不像伍爾芙(Winterson曾自稱是伍...
評分在書的背麵,有這樣幾個字來評論本書:“詩一般的語言。” 就是詩。浪漫極瞭。 書的主人公銀兒說:“我曾經是個不可救藥的浪漫主義者。我現在仍然是。我曾經相信愛是至高無上的。我現在依然保持著這一信念。我並不指望自己會幸福,也不幻想我會找到愛——不管它意味著什麼,或...

短篇,一天之內可以讀完的一本書。相比之前度過的beautifl mind, 這本書的用詞簡單很多,因為沒有查很多次的字典。但是我讀不懂。對我來說這是一本古怪的書(因為我讀書太少),前一段落講的是Babel Dark, 後一段突然會講到到Pew和我的生活,中間沒有明顯的承上啓下。後半部分一直到最後Silver與Pew重逢,她對他說"I love you",作者想要錶達的留給我的是個問號。不過文章裏麵有很多很有哲學的句子,比如Why was money worth everything when you had none of it, and nothing when you had too much? 再比如Home is where heart is...
評分“Where did love begin?What human being looked at another and saw in their face the forests and the sea? Was there a day, exhausted and weary,dragging home food, arms cut and scarred,that you saw yellow flowers, not knowing what you did, picked them because I love you? ”

評分It moved me to tears, tears mixed with fear and trembling.
