In Six Years , a masterpiece of modern suspense, Harlan Coben explores the depth and passion of lost loveand the secrets and lies at its heart.
Six years have passed since Jake Fisher watched Natalie, the love of his life, marry another man. Six years of hiding a broken heart by throwing himself into his career as a college professor. Six years of keeping his promise to leave Natalie alone, and six years of tortured dreams of her life with her new husband, Todd.
But six years haven’t come close to extinguishing his feelings, and when Jake comes across Todd’s obituary, he can’t keep himself away from the funeral. There he gets the glimpse of Todd’s wife he’s hoping forbut she is not Natalie. Whoever the mourning widow is, she’s been married to Todd for almost two decades, and with that fact everything Jake thought he knew about the best time of his lifea time he has never gotten overis turned completely inside out.
As Jake searches for the truth, his picture-perfect memories of Natalie begin to unravel. Mutual friends of the couple either can’t be found, or don’t remember Jake. No one has seen Natalie in years. Jake’s search for the woman who broke his heart, who lied to him, soon puts his very life at risk as it dawns on him that the man he has become may be based on a carefully constructed fiction.
Harlan Coben once again delivers a shocking page-turner that deftly explores the power of past love, and the secrets and lies that such love can hide.
With over 70 million books in print worldwide, Harlan Coben is the #1 New York Times author of thirty one novels including RUN AWAY, FOOL ME ONCE, TELL NO ONE, NO SECOND CHANCE and the renowned Myron Bolitar series. His books are published in 43 languages around the globe.
Harlan is the creator and executive producer for the Netflix television dramas SAFE starring Michael C. Hall, Audrey Fleurot and Amanda Abbington, and THE FIVE starring Tom Cullen and OT Fagbenle. He is currently filming THE STRANGER, based on his novel, for Netflix starring Richard Armitage, Siobhan Finneran, Jennifer Saunders and Stephen Rea. Harlan was also showrunner and executive producer for two French TV mini-series, UNE CHANCE DE TROP (NO SECOND CHANCE) with Alexandra Lamy and JUST UN REGARD (JUST ONE LOOK) with Virginie Ledoyen. KEINE ZWEIT CHANCE, also based on Harlan’s novel, aired in Germany on Sat1.
Harlan’s novel TELL NO ONE (NE LE DIS A PERSONNE) was turned into the renowned French film, directed by Guillaume Canet and starring Francois Cluzet. The movie was the top box office foreign-language film of the year in USA, won the Lumiere (French Golden Globe) for best picture and was nominated for nine Cesars (French Oscar) and won four, including best actor, best director and best music. The movie with subtitles is now available on Netflix, Amazon Prime and DVD/Blu-Ray.
Winner of the Edgar Award, Shamus Award and Anthony Award – the first author to win all three – international bestselling author Harlan Coben’s critically-acclaimed novels have been called “ingenious” (New York Times), “poignant and insightful” (Los Angeles Times), “consistently entertaining” (Houston Chronicle), “superb” (Chicago Tribune) and “must reading” (Philadelphia Inquirer).
In his first books, Coben immersed himself in the exploits of sports agent Myron Bolitar. Critics loved the series, saying, “You race to turn pages…both suspenseful and often surprisingly funny” (People). After seven books Coben wanted to try something different. “I came up with a great idea that simply would not work for Myron,” says Coben. The result was the critically acclaimed New York Times bestseller TELL NO ONE, which became the most decorated thriller of the year. Two books later, Bookspan, recognizing Coben’s broad international appeal, named NO SECOND CHANCE its first ever International Book of the Month in 2003 – the Main Selection in 15 different countries.
Harlan was the first writer in more than a decade to be invited to write fiction for the NEW YORK TIMES op-ed page. His Father’s Day short story, THE KEY TO MY FATHER, appeared June 15, 2003. His essays and columns have appeared in many top publications including the New York Times, Parade Magazine and Bloomberg Views.
Harlan has received an eclectic variety of honors from all over the world. In Paris, he was awarded the prestigious Vermeil Medal of Honor for contributions to culture and society by the Mayor of Paris. He was won the El Premio del Novela Negra RBA in Spain, the Grand Prix de Lectrices in France, and the CWA/ITV3 Bestseller Dagger for favorite crime novelist in England. On the other end of the spectrum, Little League Baseball inducted Harlan into their Hall of Excellence in 2013, and Harlan is also a member of the New England Basketball Hall of Fame from his playing days at Amherst College.
Harlan was born in Newark, New Jersey. He still lives in New Jersey with his wife, Anne Armstrong-Coben MD, a pediatrician, and their four children.

**評價三** 老實說,這本書的文筆是極其華麗且充滿哲思的。它的語言不像現代流行小說那樣直白易懂,而是充滿瞭古典的韻味和沉甸甸的重量感。每一個句子都像是經過反復錘煉的寶石,閃爍著獨特的光芒。我得承認,一開始閱讀時,我需要放慢速度,甚至需要查閱一些生僻的詞匯,但這絕對是值得的投入。作者對於抽象概念的具象化描繪能力令人嘆服,例如,將“失落”描繪成一種可以觸摸的溫度,將“希望”描繪成一種微弱但堅韌的光源。書中關於時間流逝的探討,更是達到瞭一個極高的思想境界,它探討的不是簡單的時鍾上的刻度,而是記憶如何塑造我們的現在,以及我們如何與逝去的部分和解。這種深邃的思考,讓這本書超越瞭一般的文學作品,更像是一部探討存在意義的哲學劄記。
评分**評價一** 讀完這本書,我感覺自己仿佛經曆瞭一場漫長而深刻的內心洗禮。作者以極其細膩的筆觸,勾勒齣一個在時代洪流中掙紮、迷失又最終找到方嚮的靈魂圖景。書中對於人物內心矛盾的刻畫,簡直入木三分,那些在抉擇邊緣徘徊的猶豫、對未來的不確定感,都讓人感同身受。我特彆喜歡作者對於環境氛圍的營造,那種淡淡的憂鬱感和不經意的詩意交織在一起,形成瞭一種獨特的閱讀體驗。書中的敘事節奏把握得非常好,時而舒緩如潺潺流水,時而又猛烈如疾風驟雨,緊緊牽引著讀者的情緒。盡管故事背景設定在一個特定的年代,但其中探討的人性、時間和記憶的主題卻是永恒的,觸動瞭我內心深處最柔軟的部分。我常常會停下來,反復咀嚼某幾個段落,思考作者話語背後的深層含義。這不僅僅是一部小說,更像是一麵鏡子,映照齣我們每個人在成長過程中都會遇到的睏惑與成長。這本書值得反復閱讀,每一次都會有新的感悟。
评分**評價二** 這本書的結構之精巧,簡直令人拍案叫絕。作者似乎不滿足於綫性的敘事,而是像一位技藝高超的織工,將不同時間綫的碎片巧妙地編織在一起,時而跳躍,時而迴溯,卻始終保持著內在的邏輯和張力。這種非傳統的敘事手法,初讀時可能會讓人稍感迷惘,但一旦適應瞭作者的節奏,便會沉浸其中,享受這種在迷宮中探索的樂趣。書中對於細節的捕捉達到瞭驚人的程度,無論是某件舊物的使用痕跡,還是某次不經意的對視,都被賦予瞭特殊的意義,暗示著更深層次的情感糾葛。我尤其欣賞作者在不直接言明的情況下,通過場景和對話來推進情節發展,這種“留白”的處理,極大地激發瞭讀者的想象力和解讀空間。讀完後,我忍不住去迴顧前文,試圖拼湊齣所有隱藏的綫索,那種“恍然大悟”的瞬間,是閱讀過程中最大的樂趣之一。它考驗著讀者的耐心和專注力,但迴報是豐厚的。
评分**評價四** 我是在一個非常安靜的周末,一口氣讀完這本書的。整個過程仿佛被施瞭某種魔咒,完全脫離瞭現實的喧囂。這本書最成功的地方在於,它塑造瞭一批極富人性復雜麵的角色。他們都不是絕對的好人或壞人,每個人都有其閤理的動機和難以言喻的痛苦。我尤其被其中一個配角深深吸引,他的每一次齣場雖然簡短,卻像一顆投入平靜湖麵的石子,激起的漣漪久久不散。作者對不同人物視角切換的處理極為自然流暢,讓你在不知不覺中,就站在瞭他們的立場去理解他們的選擇,即使是那些明顯錯誤的決定。這種換位思考的能力,極大地拓寬瞭我的共情範圍。這本書沒有提供廉價的答案或圓滿的結局,它留給我的,是關於“人”這個概念更廣闊也更復雜的理解。它讓人意識到,生活本身就是無數個灰色地帶的疊加。
评分**評價五** 這本書給我的整體感受是壓抑中蘊含著一股強大的韌性。它的基調是低沉的,充滿瞭對過往的追憶和對現實的審視,但奇怪的是,讀完之後我並沒有感到被耗竭,反而有一種被洗滌後的清爽感。作者成功地避開瞭所有老套的敘事陷阱,情節發展齣人意料,但迴想起來又覺得是唯一可能的走嚮。那種“原來如此”的豁然開朗,不是因為謎題被解開,而是因為你終於理解瞭人物內心的邏輯閉環。書中關於“等待”和“錯過”的主題,描繪得尤其動人,它探討瞭那些我們以為是偶然,實則早已注定的命運交匯點。如果說有什麼可以改進的地方,那就是某些段落的密度實在太高,需要反復閱讀纔能完全消化,但這也是其獨特魅力的一部分。總而言之,這是一部需要用心去“品嘗”的作品,它留給讀者的迴味是悠長而深刻的。
评分很久沒有兩天看完一本書瞭。但是我並不喜歡作者的寫作風格,有點a bit too pretentious to me.但是故事情節確實緊張,所以一激動兩天就給看完瞭。Ergo沒有去studio做改做的thesis…guilty!
评分哈蘭·科本的新作又是以失蹤為主題,六年前,男主角的女友與他人結婚,如今女友老公死瞭,葬禮上現身的遺孀竟然不是她。詢問其他人,她就像從沒存在過。科本的老把戲瞭。“我坐在後排長椅上,目睹著自己的畢生所愛嫁給另一個男人。”——劇情太弱瞭。
评分★★★。六年前嫁作他人婦後消失的愛人,值得冒著生命危險去尋找嗎?男女主角生死不渝的愛情建立在6年前一段幾個月的假期情緣上總有點讓人難以信服,人物都不太討喜,情節既老套又牽強。不過寫作技巧和語言都嫻熟老練,作為消遣讀物完全閤格。
评分Presupposition大法好(?) fried haddock sandwich加一星... P.14 "A professor should be supportive and approachable, but a professor should be neither buddy nor parent." P.273 "'The penis doesn’t ask questions,' she said. 'The heart usually has a little more intelligence.'"
