At last - another brilliant, original and moving novel from the author of "The Time Traveler's Wife". Julia and Valentina Poole are normal American teenagers - normal, at least, for identical 'mirror' twins who have no interest in college or jobs or possibly anything outside their cozy suburban home. But everything changes when they receive notice that an aunt whom they didn't know existed has died and left them her flat in an apartment block overlooking Highgate Cemetery in London. They feel that at last their own lives can begin ...but have no idea that they've been summoned into a tangle of fraying lives, from the obsessive-compulsive crossword setter who lives above them to their aunt's mysterious and elusive lover who lives below them, and even to their aunt herself, who never got over her estrangement from the twins' mother - and who can't even seem to quite leave her flat...With Highgate Cemetery itself a character and echoes of Henry James and Charles Dickens, "Her Fearful Symmetry" is a delicious and deadly twenty-first-century ghost story about Niffenegger's familiar themes of love, loss and identity. It is certain to cement her standing as one of the most singular and remarkable novelists of our time.

評分開始看這本書之前,對情節基本沒有瞭解,看到鬼魂齣現,明白是個現代鬼故事,這纔注意到書的封麵和封底已經提供瞭綫索。封麵照片的背景某個墓地的地下通道口,一對看上去似乎纔十多歲的雙胞胎,金發、大眼、從帽子到皮靴一身的白色。在封底上,還是一模一樣的背景,但是這對雙...

(2013.36)有《伊甸園的鸚鵡》做前車之鑒,對本書刻意降低瞭期望,所以雖然有失望但是也還好。Niffenegger版的《第十三個故事》吧,情節硬傷太多瞭… 不過還是喜歡她的各種細節描寫呢~
評分太變態瞭這書
評分Time Traveler's Wife的作者又一作品,但是總感覺沒上一部好啊……結局很草率的感覺。
評分A bit disappointed.
評分前2/3並不覺得特彆齣色,但炸彈在最後25頁TvT
