朋友被封面和介绍所吸引,感觉和《岛上书店》里虚构的《迟暮花开》所述主题类似,遂在书店买下了此书,而我则是后来在图书馆看到了此书,遂借来翻翻。朋友说,就喜欢这种排版的书,每页的字数少,间距大,翻起来特别爽,一个下午就能翻完。确实如此,而且书中并没有什么情节可...
评分说实话,如果我自己买书的话,我很大可能是不会买这本书的。 这本书很温柔,也并不难懂,很快就看完了。一个失去丈夫的老妇人与失去妻子的老人,成为了相互陪伴的伴侣,他们受到自己孩子和街区人的质疑和冷言冷语,但是依旧愿意在一起。 作者大概是想表达出一种对每一种关系的...
评分kindle推荐阅读时长一个半小时,想来应该是比较容易理解的小说。每天那么多的快速阅读量,让我在小说开始的慢节奏几乎想要放弃它。在杰米来了之后,感觉上可能是一个美好的夕阳红的故事,反而心生了一些希望。我们在现在的生活中存在着那么多的条条框框,那么多在意的世俗眼光...
评分两个人,在70岁时开始慢慢了解彼此,走进彼此的生活,慢慢地喜欢上对方。“我决定要自由地活着”,“我才不在乎别人是怎么看的,我只是在做自己想做的事情而已,既没有伤风败俗,也没有伤害别人” 作者的确是在用十分朴实无华的文字,平静地叙述一个故事,内核触及到一些少有人...
评分我们活着 当静静的晚风吹向你安静的一天,你感受到你活着;当美人迟暮,容颜老去,除了偶尔的心脏抽搐,我们是否能感受到自己的生命。从未信奉灵魂,但生命的意义在于每一个年级都是一样的。无论新出生的婴儿,青春期的少年,意气风发的少年还是夕阳无限好的老年。追求爱,自由...

Elderly widow Addie Moore pays a visit to her aging widower neighbor, Louis Waters. They were never close, just knew each other peripherally, which makes the reason for this social call all the more intriguing. Addie would like to know if Louis is interested in sleeping with her. Now, now, this scenario was conceived by the late, great Kent Haruf—Our Souls at Night is no 50 Shades of Geriatric Grey. Set in the same fictional Colorado town as his National Book Award-nominated Plainsong, a town with its fair share of gossips, Addie and Louis embark on an unlikely friendship, an antidote to the loneliness they most exquisitely felt at night. As this friendship deepens, it is tested by said busybodies and meddling family members, plot points that almost distract from what makes this novel such a fitting and sweet swan song. Our Souls at Night was inspired, in part, by Haruf’s own marriage and the intimate, late-night conversations he and his wife relished, just like Addie and Louis. And just like Addie and Louis, Haruf proved that you’re never too old to reinvent yourself, take risks, find love, and write a great novel. --Erin Kodicek
在看完电影之后,又听完了这本有声书。长日将尽,暮色四合,晚风如诉,略伤感...
评分语言朴实,喜欢用大长句 可是没有想象中的好看
评分简单的语言却有种能触动灵魂的力量,贯穿全文的那种bittersweet的感觉读起来很舒服。未能给五星的原因主要是结局的那种生活的无奈实在是太过苦涩。但是假如想要读一些能让人沉下心来的作品的话,推荐这本。
评分人生第一本读完的英文书 很calm 但是又有遗憾
评分呜
