No more than a dark pencil line on a blank page. A horizon line, maybe. But also a slot for blackness to pour through... A terrible construction site accident takes Edgar Freemantle's right arm and scrambles his memory and his mind, leaving him with little but rage as he begins the ordeal of rehabilitation. A marriage that produced two lovely daughters suddenly ends, and Edgar begins to wish he hadn't survived the injuries that could have killed him. He wants out. His psychologist, Dr. Kamen, suggests a "geographic cure," a new life distant from the Twin Cities and the building business Edgar grew from scratch. And Kamen suggests something else. "Edgar, does anything make you happy?" "I used to sketch." "Take it up again. You need hedges... hedges against the night." Edgar leaves Minnesota for a rented house on Duma Key, a stunningly beautiful, eerily undeveloped splinter of the Florida coast. The sun setting into the Gulf of Mexico and the tidal rattling of shells on the beach call out to him, and Edgar draws. A visit from Ilse, the daughter he dotes on, starts his movement out of solitude. He meets a kindred spirit in Wireman, a man reluctant to reveal his own wounds, and then Elizabeth Eastlake, a sick old woman whose roots are tangled deep in Duma Key. Now Edgar paints, sometimes feverishly, his exploding talent both a wonder and a weapon. Many of his paintings have a power that cannot be controlled. When Elizabeth's past unfolds and the ghosts of her childhood begin to appear, the damage of which they are capable is truly devastating. The tenacity of love, the perils of creativity, the mysteries of memory and the nature of the supernatural -- Stephen King gives us a novel as fascinating as it is gripping and terrifying.

It's a long story, but I only hope it could be longer.
評分時隔兩年纔捧起這本書,說真的,前半部平淡無奇,幾乎可以說很沉悶。大概去到後麵倒數1/4的地方開始嗅到緊張,超自然的事件。作者的思路是非常多麵的,復雜的,很難用平麵的,單一的思維來連貫這本小說。讀到最後,你甚至會有《肖申剋的救贖》之感!前麵的平靜猶如冰山之角,為...

評分有些書須要依靠強迫癥纔能看完,比如這本。
評分很無聊沒有讀完,偶爾有些對白有點意思也僅限於此。為什麼這些人塑造的妻子角色永遠是自私情緒化不講道理的碧池?
評分主人公Edgar和他在杜馬島認識的哥們Wireman非常萌,啊,中老年人之間的珍貴友誼
評分畫色彩的衝動被這本書強烈地勾引起來。多少年都沒畫瞭,而且過去沒怎麼畫過也沒怎麼愛過色彩,從這裏突然就重新開始並且堅持瞭下來。 評論都在說前麵大部分太平靜瑣碎,我的感覺相反,結局沒有期待的那麼高潮。
