具体描述
From the Booker Prize-winning, bestselling author of Remains of the Day comes this stunning work of soaring imagination.
Born in early-twentieth-century Shanghai, Banks was orphaned at the age of nine after the separate disappearances of his parents. Now, more than twenty years later, he is a celebrated figure in London society; yet the investigative expertise that has garnered him fame has done little to illuminate the circumstances of his parents' alleged kidnappings. Banks travels to the seething, labyrinthine city of his memory in hopes of solving the mystery of his own, painful past, only to find that war is ravaging Shanghai beyond recognition-and that his own recollections are proving as difficult to trust as the people around him.
Masterful, suspenseful and psychologically acute, When We Were Orphans offers a profound meditation on the shifting quality of memory, and the possibility of avenging one’s past.

读后感
本书中，最让我触动的是班克斯的母亲，被军阀王顾娶为妾，囚于深山，王顾为了显示对白人女子的征服，在客人面前，鞭笞之。人前尚且如此，人后床底之间可想而知。而这一切，换来的是，军阀对鸦片禁运的假装不通融，给儿子班克斯源源不断的资金资助。无论受多大的苦，当母亲知道...
评分正值考研失败，感受着努力未曾得到回报的痛苦。连着去了四天的校招，越来越迷茫、越来越不甘。我和别人说，不用担心，我有给自己做好心理建设，考研失败了嘛就找工作啊，又不是只有一条路。我可以找个普通工作，朝九晚五，给自己做饭、整理屋子、读读书、周末和朋友逛街小聚、...
评分童年是什么？有时候是缺失记忆，有时候是重新构建，有时候是堆砌梦境，不论今后的人生会变成怎样，它在心底，一直牢牢盘踞。 “我们一旦长大成人，儿时就变得像另外一个国度”。在这里，懵懂的喜乐，懵懂的悲伤，终究在离开这个国度以后用后面的人生来解释偿还。 故事的背景是1...
评分看完《上海孤儿》，毫无疑问这是个并不紧密的故事，暗线的发生一直以孩童时期的主人公叙述道来，碎片式的记忆间插在七个章节里，实际形成双重记忆。时隔久远的上海和战争正在爆发的上海，一切情节上的漏洞和虚弱被时空的远距离模糊掉，战争的背景使其从观感上烟雾弥漫，...

跟上海不期而遇了。
评分跟上海不期而遇了。
评分结果相当喜欢这本书的最后几章 仔细想想觉得莱总BvS里的一句台词很适合用到这里 the magical thinking of orphan boys
评分观望/额，不太感冒。不喜欢这本书。触动我的地方有两个，一个是Banks和Sarah暧昧不明准备私奔，一个是Banks和Akira在战场的那几句话。说实在的，整本书的结构都不如这几处写得精彩。不如A Pale View of Hills.
评分写了一大串没保存..就这样吧
