具体描述
From the acclaimed author of The Rehearsal comes a novel about a young woman on trial for murder in nineteenth-century New Zealand.
On a blustery January day, a prostitute is arrested. In the midst of the 1866 gold rush on the coast of New Zealand, this might have gone unnoticed. But three notable events occur on that same day: a luckless drunk dies, a wealthy man vanishes, and a ship's captain of ill repute cancels all of his business and weighs anchor, as if making an escape. Anna Wetherell, the prostitute in question, is connected to all three men.
This sequence of apparently coincidental events provokes a secret council of powerful townsmen to investigate. But they are interrupted by the arrival of a stranger: young Walter Moody, who has a secret of his own...
THE LUMINARIES is an intricately crafted feat of storytelling, a mystery that reveals the ways our interconnected lives reshape our destinies.
Winner of the 2013 Man Booker Prize

“Love cannot be reduced to a catalogue of reasons why, and a catalogue of reasons cannot be put together into love.”
评分感觉这么多年英语白学了...
评分因为kindle版减价所以买下来。想去搜一下plot剧透但发现goodreads和douban都没有就作罢。看了四分之一，感觉情节进展缓慢，语言啰嗦。每个人物性格都从第三人称角度来写，在旁观中剖析，让人没有和书中人感同身受的共情感觉。有点枯燥，也许是我不太喜欢看破案小说吧
评分实在没觉出啥好来
