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.

評分 評分1970年,普林斯顿大学的心理学教授巴特森做了一个实验。他找来47名神学院学生,交代他们从心理系出发到社会学系大楼,至于到达后的具体任务,则因人而异。在这条路上,巴特森还安排了一位“可怜人”:他头发蓬乱,双眼迷离,坐在大楼前、咳嗽并呻吟着。实验结果令人惊讶:决定...
評分虽然都死得难看,但并不代表不存在道德困境,其根源是评判尺度的缺失。比如弗农方面,个人恩怨,一己或小范围私利,如果混杂着政治因素,那么卑鄙与智慧、残忍与勇气的边界就变得模糊不清。杨壮士就是我们的实例。 高压力的现代生活也加速人的堕落,在令人窒息的快节奏中总是倾...

评分have kind of guessed the seemingly surprising ending
评分一個關於時機的故事:人們如何一次次與自己追求的時機擦肩而過,而總是捲入錯誤的時機釀成錯誤。很可惜,一個過於工整和刻意的結尾完全毀瞭前文蘊含的不穩定性。
