“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...
评分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...

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。
