It is 1922, and London is tense. Ex-servicemen are disillusioned, the out-of-work and the hungry are demanding change. And in South London, in a genteel Camberwell villa, a large silent house now bereft of brothers, husband and even servants, life is about to be transformed, as impoverished widow Mrs Wray and her spinster daughter, Frances, are obliged to take in lodgers.
For with the arrival of Lilian and Leonard Barber, a modern young couple of the 'clerk class', the routines of the house will be shaken up in unexpected ways. And as passions mount and frustration gathers, no one can foresee just how far-reaching, and how devastating, the disturbances will be...
This is vintage Sarah Waters: beautifully described with excruciating tension, real tenderness, believable characters, and surprises. It is above all, a wonderful, compelling story.
Sarah Waters was born in Wales in 1966 and lives in London. Author of Tipping the Velvet, Affinity, Fingersmith and The Night Watch, her most recent book is The Little Stranger. All of her books have attracted prizes: she won a Betty Trask Award, the Somerset Maugham Award and was twice shortlisted for the Mail on Sunday/John Llewellyn Rhys Prize. Fingersmith and The Night Watch were both shortlisted for the Man Booker and Orange prizes, and Fingersmith won the CWA Ellis Peters Dagger Award for Historical Crime Fiction and the South Bank Show Award for Literature. Tipping the Velvet, Affinity and Fingersmith have all been adapted for television.
The Little Stranger was a bestselling hardback and was shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize.
4.5。四天读完,一路过山车呼啸。黑暗纠结的第三部分,惊恐和怀疑几乎把人逼到崩溃边缘。但是,在那些惊涛骇浪深处,仍存着一片温柔敏感,小心翼翼的躲在疏远和冷漠之后,埋藏在焦虑妄想之下。
评分故事情节也算是routine了。
评分还沉醉在两人间的real tendernese时 故事突然急转直下看得神经紧张内心盘根错节 是熟悉的华老师没错 不过折磨读者的功夫又level up了。“the two of them in their stone corner, their dark clothes bleeding into the dusk, lights being kindled across the city, and a few pale stars in the sky."
评分差点忘了这本,我简直是以看虐文的心情把最后一截看完的,华老师描写女性小动作还是这么细腻,不说了BBC快去买了拍。
评分一如既往丰富和细腻,被情节牵引着拉扯着,compeltely hooked.
“你已经勇敢了,那就再勇敢一点”,书里的主角之一这样说,而且一而再,再而三的这样说。这样说的意思,你知道,就是勇敢已经在打折扣了。她对自己面临的状况有这样的描述:我看见眼前有两条路,可它们都是黑暗的。怎么选,仿佛都是绝路。 这话出自法兰西斯,她是《房客》的...
评分华老师的盛名在这里就不多作赘述了。 她的小说,你读的越多,越会发现她是属于“套路很深”的那一类作家。她熟悉并掌握所有可以吊人胃口的套路,却从不令我讨厌,相反还很是受用。 《房客》的第一个看点,综合了小说简介,自然是“且看这俩女的咋搞起来”。 小说里,弗朗西丝和...
