具体描述
On a chilly February day two old friends meet in the throng outside a crematorium to pay their last respects to Molly Lane. Both Clive Linley and Vernon Halliday had been Molly's lovers in the days before they reached their current eminence, Clive as Britain's most successful modern composer, Vernon as editor of the quality broadsheet, "The Judge". Gorgeous, feisty Molly had other lovers too, notably Julian Garmony, Foreign Secretary, a notorious right-winger tipped to be the next prime minister. In the days that follow Molly's funeral, Clive and Vernon will make a pact that will have consequences neither has foreseen. Each will make a disastrous moral decision, their friendship will be tested to its limits and Julian Garmony will be fighting for his political life. A contemporary morality tale that is as profound as it is witty, this short novel is perhaps the most purely enjoyable fiction Ian McEwan has ever written. And why Amsterdam? What happens there to Clive and Vernon is the most delicious shock in a novel brimming with surprises.

读后感
我觉得Ian McEwan的伟大之处就在于他的观察力，他真的能够把各行各业写活了，让读的人不得不信服。他描述作曲家谱曲时对灵感的捕捉也好，描述报纸主编的日常工作早间选题会也好，就连描述死去的这位会美食会摄影的大众情人拍摄保存的异装癖照片从布景打光上一看就是她的风格......
评分不知为何都说这本不是典型的老麦风格？难道只是因为没有涉及到早期典型的极端的性欲、暴力等内容？一个作家的风格决不是因为他涉及的题材内容决定的啊，哪怕那是使老麦声名鹊起的最初。在这本小说里，清峻之极的语言、表达，还有那种利落的急转中扑来的尖利的阴暗、悚然都是多...

评分永远不要以为别人有多了解你，当你把你内心最真实的情感展露给你所谓的朋友时，你也将自己置身在了别人的砧板之上。人生来是教人孤独的，不要祈求灵魂的同行，只要享受和自己独处的时间，倾听内心最真实声音，所谓的痛苦才会离你远去。只有不相信自己的人才会想要通过伤害...

评分All in all, things hadn't turned out so badly on the former lovers front. No former lovers exchanging glances. 丧礼引发的血案，结尾太狗血。
评分昨天在去布鲁克林的Q线上看睡着了，书掉下来砸了一位广东阿姨的脚 -_-

评分Flawed as this novel might be in its perspective, its adequacy of ellipticality as well as its construction, especially that of the end, it is still a devastatingly lovable piece, for it has the haunting effects of the absence of the significant female character Molly, the careful delineation of the rarely-seen side and dirty facet of human nature.
