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.

评分 评分到上海之后开始出现超现实的情节，是作者有意为之，这并不是一部传统意义上的“侦探小说”，而是假借这一范式又将其拆解；背景环境的模糊以及尽量避免区域文化特征则是作者走向世界文学这一场域的一种写作策略。石黑一雄所写并非惊心动魄的故事，更非宏伟的史诗，而是人内心世...

最后那个动机，我仿佛在读轻小说。寻母的部分是好的。It’s metaphor. It’s symbolic.
评分Started from Pingshe guest house, then on the train from Dali to Kunming and Kunming to Xiangyang. half done! Dreamed of the mather of hero after finished this book, so sorrow and you are unable to leave it behind after you closed the book. The most exciting part is the end of this novel! You can't help but moved by it!!!
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
评分我可以打兩分嗎?
评分白开水小说…… " It's obvious to the reader that Christopher deludes himself about many things, such as his conviction that when he "roots out evil," he is "cleansing the world of wickedness." This inclination toward grandiosity is a direct result of Christopher's sense of powerlessness as an orphan. "
