The latest in the "Shopaholic" series from one of the brightest talents in contemporary women's fiction. "Shopaholic Ties The Knot" has sold nearly 300,000 copies and Kinsella's last novel, "Can You Keep A Secret?" went straight into the top ten bestsellers charts. This time, Becky discovers a sister she didn't know she had, but ther's a problem... her sister hates shopping.
England is a land of plentiful shopping opportunities and colorful regional accents, and actress Kellgren nails the latter in her charming rendition of Kinsella's newest Shopaholic novel. Just home from her honeymoon, Becky Bloomwood, now the wealthy wife of Luke Brandon, learns she has a long-lost half-sister. The news delights Becky, who fantasizes about late-night sisterly chats and shared cappuccinos. But Jess turns out to be not at all what Becky expected. In a dour Cumbrian accent that contrasts deliciously with Becky's posh inflections, Jess berates Becky for her irresponsibility and belittles her addiction to shopping. Their verbal battles leave little hope for reconciliation, until serious marital troubles brought on by Becky's shopping habit find her turning to Jess for guidance. Things get worse before they get better, and Kellgren's vivacious reading never fails to plumb the depths of Becky's despair. How will Luke forgive her for setting him up with a criminal client all in the name of a coveted Angel bag? Will Jess ever speak to Becky again after she expounds on her sister's faults in front of Jess's entire small village? Ultimately, the hilarious mayhem winds down to an inevitable happy ending, avoiding deep thought in favor of pure fun.
Becky Bloomwood, shopaholic extraordinaire, is back. She and her new husband, Luke Brandon, have been on a whirlwind ten-month honeymoon that's taken them all around the world, but both are itching to get back to London. When they do return, Becky is disturbed to discover that her best friend has a new good buddy, and Becky's parents are acting strangely. It turns out that they've just learned that her dad fathered a child a few years before he met her mother. Becky is thrilled to learn she has a half-sister, until she meets Jess. Jess is nothing like Becky: her clothes aren't fashionable, she prefers dank caves to shoe stores, and she is incredibly frugal. After an awkward weekend together, the sisters part company on bad terms. To make matters worse, Becky's gotten herself into a pickle with a purchase that could put a strain on her marriage. Like the previous installments, Shopaholic & Sister is hilarious fun for Prada and Gucci aficionados. Kristine Huntley

这本书最让我着迷的地方在于,它不仅仅是一部轻松的喜剧,更是一部关于成长的寓言。贝琪的购物癖,在某种程度上,是她逃避现实、填补内心空虚的一种方式。而当她不得不面对那些曾经被她刻意忽略的问题时,她才真正开始认识到,真正的价值并非来自于物质,而是来自于人与人之间的联系和关爱。她与妹妹之间复杂而又充满温情的关系,是推动她成长的关键。看着她们从最初的疏远和误解,到最终的相互扶持和理解,我深受感动。
评分索菲·金塞拉的叙事风格总是那么独特,她总能找到最刁钻的角度,去刻画人物最真实的情感。在《Shopaholic and Sister》中,贝琪的内心独白充满了戏剧性的张力,她时而为自己的购物行为辩解,时而又为自己的不负责任感到羞愧。这种两极化的心理活动,让这个角色变得异常生动和立体。她不是一个完美无瑕的英雄,也不是一个全然可恨的反派,她就是一个活生生的人,有优点,也有缺点,有欲望,也有软弱。
评分这本书的故事情节跌宕起伏,充满了意想不到的转折。贝琪的每一次“冒险”,无论是在工作上的还是在家庭里的,都充满了未知数。她试图用金钱来解决所有的问题,但很快就发现,有些事情,是金钱无法买到的。她对于“购物”的热情,逐渐转移到了对妹妹的关怀和守护上,这个过程的转变,自然而然,又让人感动。
评分总而言之,《Shopaholic and Sister》是一本能够让你在欢笑中反思的书。它让我们看到,即使是最“不靠谱”的人,也有可能在生活的磨砺中找到自己真正的价值。贝琪的故事,不仅仅是一个关于购物狂的都市传说,更是一个关于成长、关于责任、关于亲情的动人篇章。我强烈推荐这本书给所有喜欢轻松幽默,同时又渴望看到深刻情感描绘的读者。
评分我喜欢索菲·金塞拉描绘女性的方式,她们不是被动地等待被拯救,而是积极地面对生活中的挑战,即使有时会显得笨拙和滑稽。贝琪就是一个很好的例子,她并没有因为突如其来的困境而放弃,而是以她特有的方式,努力去适应和改变。她对时尚的敏感,以及她那独特的幽默感,都在这个过程中得到了新的体现,并帮助她度过了难关。
评分读《Shopaholic and Sister》的过程,就像是在经历一场奇妙的旅程。我们跟随贝琪,从她熟悉的购物天堂,一步步走进她那个充满未知和挑战的家庭。她的每一次尝试,无论是成功的还是失败的,都充满了喜剧色彩。然而,在这滑稽的表象之下,隐藏着的是对亲情、对责任的深刻探讨。她对于金钱的看法,对于“家”的理解,都在这个过程中发生了翻天覆地的变化。
评分在翻开《Shopaholic and Sister》之前,我完全没有预料到自己会陷入如此滑稽又心酸的境地。索菲·金塞拉,这位以描绘都市女性购物狂生活而闻名的作家,再一次精准地捕捉到了现代女性在物质与情感之间摇摆不定的挣扎。这本书的魅力在于,它并非仅仅停留在表面的消费主义狂欢,而是深入探讨了主角贝琪在突如其来的家庭变故中所经历的成长和转变。她原本是那个对品牌、对价格了如指掌,生活重心围绕着购物清单和打折季的“购物狂”,然而,一场突如其来的变故,将她从光鲜亮丽的橱窗世界拉回到了现实生活的柴米油盐之中。
评分这本书最打动我的,是它对于“家”的定义。原本,贝琪认为家就是她那个充满时尚单品和购物袋的空间,然而,当她被迫承担起照顾妹妹的责任时,她才发现,真正的家,是那些需要被爱、需要被守护的人。她与妹妹之间关系的修复,是她人生中最重要的“购物”成果,这份收获比任何奢侈品都要珍贵。
评分我一直对那些能够将普通生活描绘得引人入胜的故事充满好奇,而《Shopaholic and Sister》无疑做到了这一点。作者索菲·金塞拉的笔触,就像一位经验丰富的心理医生,细致入微地剖析了贝琪内心的矛盾与挣扎。从一个只关心自己购买清单的女孩,到一个被迫承担起家庭责任的姐姐,这个转变过程充满了挑战,也充满了令人捧腹的误会和尴尬。看着贝琪笨拙地试图扮演起“成熟姐姐”的角色,处理那些她从未接触过的家庭琐事,我时常会心一笑,仿佛看到了自己曾经的影子。
评分《Shopaholic and Sister》让我重新思考了“物质主义”和“情感价值”之间的关系。贝琪曾经以为,拥有更多的物质就能带来更多的快乐,但当她真正需要依靠他人,需要付出爱与关怀时,她才明白,那些看不见的联系,才是生命中最宝贵的东西。她对妹妹从最初的抵触到后来的依赖,这个过程充满了细节,也充满了温情。
