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.
Dissapointed. I have indeed not the slightest idea of what this book is talking about. It unfolds itself as a scary novel, then it comes to twisted love story, with some flippant and unnecessary depicitons, floppy plot arrangement and overabundant lingering...

Terrible. Sloppy writing after half mark, illogical and shoddy plot, shallow characters, none of which has my sympathy. A disaster.
评分雖然我特麼就是沒看懂。。。但是給四星吧。。

评分(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~
