A profound and powerful novel, winner of the Booker Prize
Set in colonial India during the 1920s, Heat and Dust tells the story of Olivia, a beautiful woman suffocated by the propriety and social constraints of her position as the wife of an important English civil servant. Longing for passion and independence, Olivia is drawn into the spell of the Nawab, a minor Indian prince deeply involved in gang raids and criminal plots. She is intrigued by the Nawab's charm and aggressive courtship, and soon begins to spend most of her days in his company. But then she becomes pregnant, and unsure of the child's paternity, she is faced with a wrenching dilemma. Her reaction to the crisis humiliates her husband and outrages the British community, breeding a scandal that lives in collective memory long after her death.
虽然获了布克奖,我真心觉得一般,结尾朦胧含蓄,印度的魅力仍然在云里雾里,这样处理可以说是好,也可以说不好。篇幅已经很短了,但是我真的觉得还可以再短点,E.M.福斯特式的优雅和从容现在已经过时了。戏谑来说,这个故事的前世就是“霸道总裁(王子)爱上我”,今生是文艺青年游印度(附赠友情炮什么的)。
