This is Alan Hollinghurst's first novel since "The Line of Beauty", winner of the 2004 Man Booker Prize. In the late summer of 1913 the aristocratic young poet Cecil Valance comes to stay at 'Two Acres', the home of his close Cambridge friend George Sawle. The weekend will be one of excitements and confusions for all the Sawles, but it is on George's sixteen-year-old sister Daphne that it will have the most lasting impact, when Cecil writes her a poem which will become a touchstone for a generation, an evocation of an England about to change for ever. Linking the Sawle and Valance families irrevocably, the shared intimacies of this weekend become legendary events in a larger story, told and interpreted in different ways over the coming century, and subjected to the scrutiny of critics and biographers with their own agendas and anxieties. In a sequence of widely separated episodes we follow the two families through startling changes in fortune and circumstance. At the centre of this often richly comic history of sexual mores and literary reputation runs the story of Daphne, from innocent girlhood to wary old age. Around her Hollinghurst draws an absorbing picture of an England constantly in flux. As in "The Line of Beauty", his impeccably nuanced exploration of changing taste, class and social etiquette is conveyed in deliciously witty and observant prose. Exposing our secret longings to the shocks and surprises of time, "The Stranger's Child" is an enthralling novel from one of the finest writers in the English language.

1913年夏末,喬治·索爾帶朋友、貴族詩人塞西爾·瓦朗斯到兩英畝莊園度周末。他十六歲的妹妹達夫妮愛上瞭塞西爾,卻沒有發現兩個男孩之間隱秘的情愫。 其實全部的謎底在第一章裏已經全部揭曉瞭,我喜歡這種寫法。作者無意寫成一部長篇懸疑偵探小說。因為所有偵探小說在揭露真相...
評分加長版莫裏斯的情人,嗯。文字好細膩,剛開讀。似乎都聞到瞭塞西的雪茄的味道,絲絲絲絲,吊床裏依偎著的兩個男孩,鮮活的肉體肆意纏繞…迷離、鬼魅。因為這不一件體麵的事,所以我必須在見不得人的夜色中完成,對不起……彆多想,這是說的抽雪茄。 以前的人都好講究。煙盒、正...
評分Hollinghurst的新書《The Stranger’s Child》基本就是一部Gay版《Possession》,都是由虛構的曆史人物引齣的一連串學術懸疑和文史尋根。 很顯然,近年來,這類題材很受追捧。無論是暢銷小說作傢還是嚴肅的文學小說的作傢都對此類題材情有獨鍾。 一是這類作品情節跌宕起伏,...

中間有幾處虐的我心髒受不鳥,原來小說可以這麼描述,第一次被震撼瞭
評分總覺得下一步就要揭示完整故事,然而最終也沒有撥開雲霧見青天。It's an awesome investigation into the limits of human knowing,the fallibility of memory, and the way history is made.
