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.

在一“追”一“逃”裏戀上印度 ——讀《印度之戀》 範典/文 此書若無“獲布剋奬”之廣告語作襯,單從庸俗至極的名字辨彆,恐難從琳琅滿目的書架中一眼相中。幸虧讀外國文學的人多少認識幾個英文單詞,於是從大紅書名下一撮細黑字母裏嗅到異域氣焰:Heat and Dust——熱與塵...
評分男人遇到女人,是這個世界最本質的相遇。就好像看過瞭情人想去越南,看過瞭Heat and dust,就想去印度,體會那種神秘和古老,想邂逅自己的也許是宿命的安排。
評分 評分英國女人寫印度,是尋祖,是尋根,英國尋印度的根,女人尋男人的根。 英國在土地上殖民瞭印度,印度則在文化上殖民瞭英國,用印度男人殖民瞭英國女人。 英國女人遇到印度男人,一切都退居幕後,女人不再有國傢,不再有文化,不再有信仰,男人不再有自卑,不再有貧窮,不再有...

評分雖然獲瞭布剋奬,我真心覺得一般,結尾朦朧含蓄,印度的魅力仍然在雲裏霧裏,這樣處理可以說是好,也可以說不好。篇幅已經很短瞭,但是我真的覺得還可以再短點,E.M.福斯特式的優雅和從容現在已經過時瞭。戲謔來說,這個故事的前世就是“霸道總裁(王子)愛上我”,今生是文藝青年遊印度(附贈友情炮什麼的)。
