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.
故事雖然簡單,但在華老師筆下還是足夠波動起伏。提前瞭解瞭後來的基調,怕落差太大懷著十分剋製的心態讀前兩部分,依然被甜的肝顫。結果呢?看完隻剩嘆息。藍過!
評分差點忘瞭這本,我簡直是以看虐文的心情把最後一截看完的,華老師描寫女性小動作還是這麼細膩,不說瞭BBC快去買瞭拍。
評分還沉醉在兩人間的real tendernese時 故事突然急轉直下看得神經緊張內心盤根錯節 是熟悉的華老師沒錯 不過摺磨讀者的功夫又level up瞭。“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."
評分這不是一個關於勇敢的故事 本書的每個人物都很自私

出于对她前几部书的热爱,尤其是直追狄更斯”荒凉山庄”的”轻舔丝绒”, 直接在第一时间买了她这本最新作品。 整部小说虽然以第三人称Frances来写,但视角实际上是第一人称视角,处处都是描述Frances的经历和感觉。题材仍然和同性恋有关,但故事简单了很多,没有前几部作品中...
評分 評分熟悉华老师作品的人一定知道,她的书,常常是抓马非凡----所以这次也是不例外。 不同于维多利亚三部曲,这本书是在一战后的英国。熟悉西方历史的便知道,一战过后,虽然英国算是战赢,但战争带来的,总是伤痕累累,无论输赢。这本书的设定是20世纪20年代,也就是说,不久西方...
評分这本书和华老师前几本相比,意外的容易读,不过我还是惯性的以不着调的节奏,今天看一点,明天看一点,直到30%才进入状态,而看到50%的时候就进入秉烛夜读的模式一晚上看完了,虽然最后10%看得有点痛苦。 不知道是不是这一部看得格外带入的关系,中间虽然情节并没有太出乎意料...
