这本书和华老师前几本相比,意外的容易读,不过我还是惯性的以不着调的节奏,今天看一点,明天看一点,直到30%才进入状态,而看到50%的时候就进入秉烛夜读的模式一晚上看完了,虽然最后10%看得有点痛苦。 不知道是不是这一部看得格外带入的关系,中间虽然情节并没有太出乎意料...
评分《房客》的故事始于一个谎言——将租客称作“付房租的客人”(THE PAYING GUESTS),家道中落不得不靠出租房屋维持生计的弗朗西丝一家以此挽回一点面子。这个谎言道出了那些教养良好、养尊处优的人们虚伪的本质,他们拒绝承认钱和工作是生活的重心,明明生活拮据却更关心那些无...

评分出于对她前几部书的热爱,尤其是直追狄更斯”荒凉山庄”的”轻舔丝绒”, 直接在第一时间买了她这本最新作品。 整部小说虽然以第三人称Frances来写,但视角实际上是第一人称视角,处处都是描述Frances的经历和感觉。题材仍然和同性恋有关,但故事简单了很多,没有前几部作品中...

From the bestselling author of The Little Stranger and Fingersmith, an enthralling novel about a widow and her daughter who take a young couple into their home in 1920s London.
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.
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. Little do the Wrays know just how profoundly their new tenants will alter the course of Frances’s life—or, as passions mount and frustration gathers, how far-reaching, and how devastating, the disturbances will be.
Short-listed for the Man Booker Prize three times, Sarah Waters has earned a reputation as one of our greatest writers of historical fiction, and here she has delivered again. A love story, a tension-filled crime story, and a beautifully atmospheric portrait of a fascinating time and place, The Paying Guests is Sarah Waters’s finest achievement yet.
从一开始的平静,到中间的爆发,到后面的煎熬,华老师再一次用事无巨细的细节描写和心理描写征服了我。本书的线索非常集中,完全聚焦于Francis和Lilian,她们之间的勇敢和怯弱相辅相成,从一而终的内心纠结也如汗滴一般交合在一起。从中间开始进入的《罪与罚》模式非常有趣,爱情究竟会有多坚固?需要多勇敢?需要付出多少?至少在我看来Francis是彻底没救了,她的勇敢全部转移到了Lilian身上,一滴不剩。
