'A moving and shockingly intimate record of life lost and found again' Time Out Axel Vander, distinguished intellectual and elderly academic, is not the man he seems. When a letter arrives out of the blue, threatening to unveil his secrets and carefully concealed identity Vander travels to Turin to meet its author. There, muddled by age and alcohol, unable always to distinguish fact from fiction, Vander comes face to face with the woman who has the knowledge to unmask him, Cass Cleave. However, her sense of reality is as unreliable as his, and the two are quickly drawn together, their relationship dark, disturbed and doomed to disaster from its very start. 'In beautiful, lucid prose John Banville describes a tragedy so strongly rooted in history and character that, like all real tragedies, it could not happen otherwise' The Times 'Banville is merciless in the details ...he has a gift for enigmatic clarity' Daily Telegraph 'The narrative frequently takes on the qualities of a dream, writhing with pursuits and escapes, peopled by shape-shifters and avatars, subject to its own climatic and topographical realities' Guardian 'Shroud will not be easily surpassed for its combination of wit, moral complexity and compassion. It is hard to see what more a novel could do' Irish Times

看到三分之一纔意識到這本書的中文版我看過的 然而毫不影響接下來的閱讀反正都忘光瞭。班維爾是會把人物毛發的顫動和脈搏的跳動都寫齣來的那種細緻描述作傢,但讀完還是覺得每個人都是個謎。
