A landmark work of fiction from one of Britain's most exciting new writers: The Harmony Silk Factory is a devastating love story set against the turmoil of mid-twentieth century Malaysia. Set in Malaysia in the 1930s and 40s, with the rumbling of the Second World War in the background and the Japanese about to invade, The Harmony Silk Factory is the story of four people: Johnny, an infamous Chinaman -- a salesman, a fraudster, possibly a murderer -- whose shop house, The Harmony Silk Factory, he uses as a front for his illegal businesses; Snow Soong, the beautiful daughter of one of the Kinta Valley's most prominent families, who dies giving birth to one of the novel's narrators; Kunichika, a Japanese officer who loves Snow too; and an Englishman, Peter Wormwood, who went to Malaysia like many English but never came back, who also loved Snow to the end of his life. A journey the four of them take into the jungle has a devastating effect on all of them, and brilliantly exposes the cultural tensions of the era. Haunting, highly original, The Harmony Silk Factory is suspenseful to the last page.

評分封麵很性感,也很感性,還帶有不少東南亞異國風情的味道。 見是被譽為年度最棒小說,二話不說就買瞭,但看完後就知道這本書對不起這個榮譽瞭。 我沒讀過《英國病人》,也沒讀過福剋納的《喧嘩與騷動》。不知有什麼相似的感覺呢? 書分三個部分,最後可以算是解答前麵的懸念。 ...
評分為什麼要取名叫絲之謎,因為當讀完後,的卻感受到男主-林強尼,他的一生就像一個謎團,如絲一般,剪不斷理還亂。 強尼的形象是通過三個人的敘述而慢慢拼湊起來的。他的兒子-寶玉,從和他的接觸和查閱資料,然後認為他父親是一個有名譽,有財富的大壞蛋。他的妻子~雪兒...

評分看瞭三天終於在這樣冷風習習有充滿陽光的午後讀完瞭這本書,這本書的三個章節中,個人最喜歡的是“天堂花園”。不單單因為在讀這一章的時候找到瞭很多問題的答案,更因為它文筆很細膩,而且是男人的細膩,老頭的細膩,一個有點文鄒鄒“拽”文字的老頭的細膩。“臭名昭著的和諧...
