谈及孤独,17世纪英国诗人约翰•堂恩曾写下“谁都不是一座孤岛”的句子。堂恩信誓旦旦地宣称,每个人或多或少都与他人相互勾联,进而形成一片牢不可破的大陆。预言固然美好,揆诸事实却不尽然。至少在安妮塔•布鲁克纳这里,孤独不是特例,而是常态。她出身犹太世家,一生...
评分并不想对这部小说做太多评价,它讲的无非是一个无疾而终的爱情故事。女主人公凯蒂·莫勒没有特殊性,虽然她的英国式拘谨使她与周围环境格格不入,但读者细察之后便会发现,这种古板不过是家庭氛围的产物,并没有什么特殊之处。事实上,读者很容易推想出一个像凯蒂一样长大的人...
评分第一次看这种类型的书,的确很值得思考。结局突然的反转,令读者自己去深思,当我看到结尾的时候 突然的发现没有了下一页,就好像一个未完成的故事一样,想期待往后的结局。可是事实就是如此,到这就结束了。反转的结局,让我迅速的头脑风暴起来,不断回忆前面的情节,想寻找一...
评分 评分有一天,我在出差的酒店吃早饭,看见一个男人对着自助咖啡机看了很久,终于按了按钮接了一杯咖啡,端给他同桌的女性。衣着入时的女孩温柔地表示,自己要的“恐怕”不是这种,不过她也接受了这杯咖啡,讲了几句咖啡的分类,拿铁、卡布奇诺、Espresso这样的词儿正要出现,那个男...

Kitty Maule longs to be "totally unreasonable, totally unfair, very demanding, and very beautiful." She is instead clever, reticent, self-possessed, and striking. For years. Kitty has been tactfully courting her colleague Maurice Bishop, a detached, elegant English professor. Now, running out of patience, Kitty's amorous pursuit takes her from rancorous academic committee rooms and lecture halls to French cathedrals and Parisian rooming houses, from sittings with her dress-making grandmother to seances with a grandmotherly psychic. Touching, funny, and stylistically breathtaking, Providence is a brightly polished gem of romantic comedy.
女性作家的作品,充满了各种心理活动的描写,有些沉闷,没有太多故事情节,总是被女主紧张兮兮的情绪压着,不喜欢这种类型。
评分虽然看上去很。。仔细想想故事情节还挺俗套的。她的展开方式和部分叙述让人会心一击,迎合了多少少女心事。。书中穿插了大段浪漫主义和理性主义的冲突(看伐懂)。书名providence也有种希腊悲剧式的意味。
评分鱼竿酱推荐。

评分私以为这本比获过奖的杜兰葛酒店要好。。。对女性处境的探讨很现实也很“福楼拜”。。。
