Families have secrets they hide even from themselves...
It should have been an ordinary birth, the start of an ordinary happy
family. But the night Dr David Henry delivers his wife's twins is a night
that will haunt five lives for ever.
For though David's son is a healthy boy, his daughter has Down's syndrome.
And, in a shocking act of betrayal whose consequences only time will
reveal, he tells his wife their daughter died while secretly entrusting her
care to a nurse.
As grief quietly tears apart David's family, so a little girl must make her
own way in the world as best she can.
黑色的底,上面漂浮着一件雪白的婴儿女装,下面用白色的字写着:不存在的女儿,我看到这个封面,我的心一阵颤栗,有些害怕,同时又感到有一股强烈的吸引力,让我借了这本书。书借回来后总是倒着放,封面压底,我总是不敢正眼瞧封面,看到封面总会有一股凉意蔓延全身。其实...
評分 評分"你捕捉不住光线。你只能抬起头来,让光线照在你的脸上。”“爸爸试图让一切定格,但世界是流动的,包围不住的。” 英文的书名是——the timekeeper's daughter,读完印象最深的并不是故事的主线——谎言造成的隔阂,而是亨利用相机徒劳地捕捉每个光与影。就像他儿子保...
評分村上春树说,小说家就是职业的说谎家,只是小说家能够把真相带到新的地方并赋予它新的光彩。看完《不存在的女儿》才理解这句话。我总是没有耐心去看虚构的东西,但封面上那个白色的蕾丝小衫柔弱而静谧,让人忍不住去抚一抚。一个深夜里终于把书翻到末尾,一些小小的总结式的高...
評分不明白为什么小孩子有病,为了不让妻子受到伤害就放弃了她。这是个爸爸该有的责任吗? 不明白为什么妈妈想要再生个孩子,而丈夫极力反对。是因为对自己过去做过的错事心里不安,还是不想再继续一个谎言? 儿子本来快乐幸福,缺因为看到妈妈的衣服在沙滩上飞扬而一下子想堕入了...
一個謊言,通常都會引起連鎖的效應。。。
评分a secret concealed for over a quarter of a century. touching and exquisite
评分Aaron's gift
评分Sad and touching ... 挺喜歡作者的文筆,細細的,娓娓道來,一幅幅淡淡畫麵描齣一個簡單而戲劇化的開篇和由此引齣的復雜的故事。
评分纔看一點點,等把貨幣戰爭看完的吧。 這次不錯,買的書看完2本,再看2本,利用率很高 經過一個月,看完瞭。上下班的城鐵看的。哭瞭一次,因為裏麵描述paul在隱藏他的痛苦,和我memory keep的某人也一樣。 有時候,有的決定是會影響一生。隻是,不會像看小說那樣很宏觀的去看。 我現在迴頭想,都會想當初如果做瞭沒做什麼事,現在會是怎麼樣。 一直討厭norah,覺得她一直是沒事找事那種,但是最後,她的寬容,她的話我一直記著:已經發生瞭,已經是這樣瞭。 以後,會多看原版小說
