具體描述
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.

讀後感
这是一本让人不知道说什么好的小说，尤其是作为一个中国上海的读者来看它。 就可读性来说，这本故事真的没什么意思。一个非常故弄玄虚的案件，一场浩大却又明显想象失实的时代风波，几个描写很虚浮不太给人魅力感的人物。就是这样。 串联起整个故事的是主人公父母的离奇失踪...
評分这部作品，作者充分展示了他的隐喻技巧。以讲故事见长的石黑一雄，在这部作品中先是将一个具有完整轮廓的故事打碎成记忆的残片，再将隐喻赋予到人物，情节和对白上，使故事不再只是一个简单的故事，而是时时刻刻具有强烈的精神指向。故事的一根主线推动所有表面碎片的情节向前...
評分 評分细说主要人物结局：侦探克里斯托弗得知父亲的失踪是和女人私奔，母亲被军阀王顾强娶羞辱生活惨烈，而自己在伦敦的一切全是因为母亲的牺牲；母亲一个反鸦片运动的积极分子被丈夫遗弃，为了反鸦片运动与军阀王顾结识，后被王顾强娶，为了儿子财务上的供应牺牲自己顺从王顾，战后...
評分还剩未出版的长日将尽和莫失莫忘以及据说曲高和寡的无可慰藉没有读。目前而言，我觉得这是我最喜欢的一本小说了，翻译也是目前我觉得最优秀的。在快结尾时男主叔叔对男主坦白一切时，那种愤怒的语气真的在脑海浮现，有如自带音效一般，这是目前我头一次读到这么让人有临场感的...
用戶評價
But for those like us, our fate is to face the world as orphans, chasing through long years the shadows of vanished parents.
评分前三分之二寫得很好，最後一部分莫名的編造感很重。但更大的問題是，一個外國人對二十世紀早期的中國和中國人的呈現，似乎讓人不太舒服。
评分觀望/額，不太感冒。不喜歡這本書。觸動我的地方有兩個，一個是Banks和Sarah曖昧不明準備私奔，一個是Banks和Akira在戰場的那幾句話。說實在的，整本書的結構都不如這幾處寫得精彩。不如A Pale View of Hills.
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!!!
评分如果是混亂的記憶導緻瞭故事的混亂，一切似乎都可原諒。但是內心還是無法接受。
