华老师的盛名在这里就不多作赘述了。 她的小说,你读的越多,越会发现她是属于“套路很深”的那一类作家。她熟悉并掌握所有可以吊人胃口的套路,却从不令我讨厌,相反还很是受用。 《房客》的第一个看点,综合了小说简介,自然是“且看这俩女的咋搞起来”。 小说里,弗朗西丝和...

评分熟悉华老师作品的人一定知道,她的书,常常是抓马非凡----所以这次也是不例外。 不同于维多利亚三部曲,这本书是在一战后的英国。熟悉西方历史的便知道,一战过后,虽然英国算是战赢,但战争带来的,总是伤痕累累,无论输赢。这本书的设定是20世纪20年代,也就是说,不久西方...
评分 评分“你已经勇敢了,那就再勇敢一点”,书里的主角之一这样说,而且一而再,再而三的这样说。这样说的意思,你知道,就是勇敢已经在打折扣了。她对自己面临的状况有这样的描述:我看见眼前有两条路,可它们都是黑暗的。怎么选,仿佛都是绝路。 这话出自法兰西斯,她是《房客》的...

It is 1922, and London is tense. Ex-servicemen are disillusioned, the out-of-work and the hungry are demanding change. And in South London, in a genteel Camberwell villa, a large silent house now bereft of brothers, husband and even servants, life is about to be transformed, as impoverished widow Mrs Wray and her spinster daughter, Frances, are obliged to take in lodgers.
For with the arrival of Lilian and Leonard Barber, a modern young couple of the 'clerk class', the routines of the house will be shaken up in unexpected ways. And as passions mount and frustration gathers, no one can foresee just how far-reaching, and how devastating, the disturbances will be...
This is vintage Sarah Waters: beautifully described with excruciating tension, real tenderness, believable characters, and surprises. It is above all, a wonderful, compelling story.
感觉fingersimth之后感觉我最爱的华老师又回来了 其实后半情节太激荡略非我菜 只想看两个妇女谈恋爱我我我 ← 肤浅 但这就是华老师特点啊我就勉强原谅了【】华老师总是写的两人要好不好时候的感情最迷人 情节发展太快总希望她们永远不要挑明才是最好的感情 ←吃药
评分affairs,homosexual or heterosexual,share the same bromidic and banal romantic cliche in the eye of a perspicacious bystander.
评分sw就喜欢对女主进行非人的精神折磨 短则一个月长则小半年 虽然这本书里头最多也就折磨了一个月 但是篇幅占了一半 到结局还是无尽的痛苦 你妈啊...看疯了....
评分4.5。四天读完,一路过山车呼啸。黑暗纠结的第三部分,惊恐和怀疑几乎把人逼到崩溃边缘。但是,在那些惊涛骇浪深处,仍存着一片温柔敏感,小心翼翼的躲在疏远和冷漠之后,埋藏在焦虑妄想之下。
评分I bet the references are hella fun! 瞄了眼edith thompson事件,还有生活照诶
