Book Description
Once upon a time three young princesses, Sorcha, Clarice and Amy, were sent away to different homes where they would be safe from war, but were lost. Their only hope is that Prince Rainger, Sorcha's betrothed, who has traveled to England in search of them will succeed.
In the third installment of the Lost Princesses series, Prince Rainger must track down the last sister, Sorcha, and marry her so that he can save his kingdom. Sorcha, living in a convent off the coast of Scotland is as innocent, kind, and na?ve as Rainger is cynical, scarred, and ruthless. Preying on Sorcha's innocence, he convinces her to marry him to protect herself from assassins, promising that they marriage will not be legal because they are different religions. Once she realizes she has been duped, Sorcha must decide if her growing love is enough to overcome the betrayal.
From Publishers Weekly
Dodd's fine, final installment in her Lost Princess series recounts the story of Crown Princess Sorcha of the tiny European country Beaumontagne. Forced into hiding in a Scottish convent 10 years earlier, when revolutionaries threatened her country, the winter of 1810 sees Sorcha is returning home after learning that her domineering grandmother has control of the country. Fearing assassins, Sorcha leaves the convent disguised as a man, but it isn't long before a wayward, dull-witted fisherman named Arnou joins up to help protect her on the journey. Unbeknownst to Sorcha, Arnou is actually Prince Rainger, the arrogant young man to whom Sorcha was betrothed at birth. After years of imprisonment by a cruel usurper—years that gave rise to rumors of his death—Rainger is determined to win back his kingdom and take Princess Sorcha for his wife. As the journey rolls on, secrets are revealed and passions are succumbed to, building swiftly toward Rainger's confrontation with his nemesis. Dodd, long a force in historical romance, does not disappoint with her latest, expertly combining compelling romance, intelligent dialogue and a page-turning plot. (Dec.)
From Booklist
When it seems the assassins tracking her for the last decade have finally discovered her whereabouts, Crown Princess Sorcha knows it is time to leave the Scottish convent and return home to Beaumontagne to take up her royal duties. But getting back to her small homeland in the Pyrenees will not be easy. At first, Sorcha has the idea of traveling with arnou, a fisherman, but Mother Superior and the good sisters of Monnmouth Abbey have another plan in mind. A disguised Sorcha soon finds herself wending her way across Scotland. Then, to her surprise, a very determined Arnou soon catches up with her. Arnou insists he only wants to see her safely to Beaumontagne, but Sorcha thinks something is fishy about his story. A prince in disguise matches wits and wiles with a princess determined to find her way home in this deliciously sexy and delectably witty historical romance, the splendidly satisfying conclusion to Dodd's Lost Princesses trilogy.

读完这部作品,我最大的感受是,它成功地打破了我对传统叙事模式的固有认知。作者的叙事视角频繁地在不同人物之间切换,每一次切换都像是一次对真相侧面的揭示,使得整个故事的图景愈发立体和丰富。这种多维度的叙事策略,虽然在初期需要读者稍微集中精力去适应,但一旦沉浸其中,便会发现其带来的巨大阅读满足感——你不再是被动接受信息,而是在主动拼凑一个宏大而精密的结构。关于主题的探讨,也远超出了我最初的预期。它巧妙地将宏大的历史背景与个体命运的微小波动交织在一起,探讨了权力如何腐蚀人心,以及在极端压力下,个体如何重新定义自身的价值。文字的张力控制得非常好,那些平静的段落下往往潜藏着汹涌的暗流,而爆发点又来得那么迅疾而震撼。总而言之,这是一部需要细细品味、反复咀嚼的佳作,它给予读者的不仅仅是消遣,更是一种智力上的挑战和情感上的冲击。
评分很少有作品能让我对世界观的构建产生如此强烈的敬畏感。作者似乎花费了巨大的精力去打磨这个虚构的世界——从其历史脉络到社会阶层划分,再到那些独特的文化习俗,都显得无比真实和可信。这种世界构建的深度,为上层的故事张力提供了坚实的基础。我特别欣赏那种潜藏在表面之下的紧张感,即使在相对宁静的章节里,你也能感觉到某种古老的力量或既定的规则正在无形地束缚着角色。角色的成长轨迹描绘得十分自然,没有突兀的“开挂”时刻,每一步的提升都建立在前期的牺牲和学习之上,让人信服。此外,这本书的结尾处理方式也十分高明,它既给了故事一个明确的落点,但又留下了足够的空间让读者去想象后续的发展,这种留白的处理,使得这本书的生命力得以延续。如果你喜欢那种需要沉浸其中、且能提供丰富回味空间的史诗级作品,那么这本书不容错过。
评分坦白说,我一开始对这类题材抱持着谨慎的态度,总担心会落入俗套,但这本书完全颠覆了我的偏见。作者对于节奏的把控简直是教科书级别的示范。它不像某些作品那样,为了追求刺激而不断堆砌事件,而是懂得何时该放慢脚步,让角色喘息,让情感沉淀。在那些看似平淡的日常对话中,往往蕴含着巨大的信息量和人物关系的微妙变化,这种“润物细无声”的叙事手法,高明之处在于,当关键冲突爆发时,那种情感的重量和冲击力会加倍放大,因为读者已经完全理解了角色此刻所承受的重量。而且,配角的塑造也异常成功,他们绝不是推动主角成长的工具人,而是拥有自己完整生命轨迹的个体,他们的动机和困境同样引人入胜。我甚至在某些配角身上看到了比主角更复杂的人性光辉或阴影。这是一本在结构、人物、主题上都展现出高度成熟的作品,阅读体验流畅而又充满惊喜,推荐给那些厌倦了平庸故事的读者。
评分这本书简直是最近读过最令人眼前一亮的作品之一。作者在构建人物时展现出惊人的细腻,主角那种外在的坚毅和内心的挣扎,每一次抉择都让人感同身受。我尤其欣赏作者处理复杂道德困境的方式,没有简单地将角色划分为好人或坏人,而是深入挖掘了驱动他们行为的深层动机。情节的推进张弛有度,高潮部分的设计精巧,每一次转折都出乎意料却又合乎情理,让人忍不住一口气读到凌晨。更不用提,作者对环境和氛围的描绘功力极强,那些异域风情的场景栩栩如生,仿佛我真的置身于故事发生的那个时空,闻到了空气中的尘土味和香料味。语言的运用更是达到了炉火纯青的地步,时而古典凝练,时而又充满现代的节奏感,使得阅读过程充满了美学享受。这本书绝不仅仅是一个简单的故事,它更像是一次对人性幽微之处的深刻探索,读完后,我的脑海中依然回荡着那些关于选择、命运与救赎的思考。强烈推荐给所有追求深度和质量的读者。
评分我向来不擅长用华丽的辞藻来评价书籍,但这本作品实在让我不得不停下来,思考如何表达我的震撼。它最令人称道之处,在于它对“灰色地带”的刻画入木三分。故事中的冲突不是简单的善恶对抗,而是两种看似合理却又水火不容的信念体系之间的碰撞。主角为了达成目标所付出的代价,以及这些代价如何反噬其自身,是贯穿全书的核心矛盾。作者似乎并不急于给出答案,而是将所有可能性都摊开在你面前,让你去感受那种两难的煎熬。在语言风格上,它呈现出一种冷峻的克制美,尽管题材可能涉及激烈的情感或场面,但作者总是用一种疏离而精准的笔触来描绘,反而让情绪的穿透力更强。我感觉自己像是一个旁观者,目睹了一场命运的宏大悲剧或史诗般的胜利,但又被深深地卷入其中。阅读过程是费脑的,因为它要求读者不断地进行价值判断和情感投入,但这种投入绝对是值得的。
