读《荆棘之城》到最后,暗暗责怪作者为什么到高潮时便戛然而止。看了《守夜》,突然有点明白了。书里的海伦总让我觉得是二十世纪版的莫德,不仅因为作者似乎有意无意用一些细节将两者联系起来,更多的是海伦的内心世界。海伦出身工人阶层,在1941年遇见上层社会的凯,凯,高手...

评分在第418页倒数第二段和最后一段之间: (此为倒数第二段)They held each other's gaze, in silence; then moved together and kissed. Helen was still not quite used to the difference between Julia's kisses, and Kay's-to the relative strangeness of Julia's mouth, ...

Moving back through the 1940s, through air raids, blacked out streets, illicit liaisons, sexual adventure, to end with its beginning in 1941, The Night Watch is the work of a truly brilliant and compelling storyteller.
This is the story of four Londoners - three women and a young man with a past, drawn with absolute truth and intimacy. Kay, who drove an ambulance during the war and lived life at full throttle, now dresses in mannish clothes and wanders the streets with a restless hunger, searching . . . Helen, clever, sweet, much-loved, harbours a painful secret . . . Viv, glamour girl, is stubbornly, even foolishly loyal, to her soldier lover . . . Duncan, an apparent innocent, has had his own demons to fight during the war. Their lives, and their secrets connect in sometimes startling ways. War leads to strange alliances...
Tender, tragic and beautifully poignant, set against the backdrop of feats of heroism both epic and ordinary, here is a novel of relationships that offers up subtle surprises and twists. The Night Watch is thrilling. A towering achievement.
