Fiona Maye is a High Court judge in London presiding over cases in family court. She is fiercely intelligent, well respected, and deeply immersed in the nuances of her particular field of law. Often the outcome of a case seems simple from the outside, the course of action to ensure a child's welfare obvious. But the law requires more rigor than mere pragmatism, and Fiona is expert in considering the sensitivities of culture and religion when handing down her verdicts.
But Fiona's professional success belies domestic strife. Her husband, Jack, asks her to consider an open marriage and, after an argument, moves out of their house. His departure leaves her adrift, wondering whether it was not love she had lost so much as a modern form of respectability; whether it was not contempt and ostracism she really fears. She decides to throw herself into her work, especially a complex case involving a seventeen-year-old boy whose parents will not permit a lifesaving blood transfusion because it conflicts with their beliefs as Jehovah's Witnesses. But Jack doesn't leave her thoughts, and the pressure to resolve the case—as well as her crumbling marriage—tests Fiona in ways that will keep readers thoroughly enthralled until the last stunning page.

评分差不多三口气读完。入戏太快读得我心情好起伏。16岁接触耶和华见证人,读了他们的圣经,也了解了无血手术。宗教和法律的交织好有趣,再加上对Fiona和Jack婚姻的反射,深不见底!
评分麦克尤恩新作太一般了,不是很好的小说,但是是绝佳的潜在改编剧本,很多文字无法去强化的体验可以由视觉去建构。
评分喜欢《切瑟尔海滩上》的人一定会爱这本,细腻优雅的文笔剔透得自带钢琴BGM。没有《追日》中讨人厌的主人公,没有《甜牙》的力不从心和花哨结尾,McEwan老老实实的写作也可以让读者瞬间沦陷。
评分大概是我给评分一直就很吝啬吧。这本书我是两天看完的,非常想知道结局,可是结局又好像不似结局,稀里糊涂,迷迷茫茫。 看的是英文,就不评论文笔了。只觉有种秋天的笙箫瑟瑟之感。
伊恩的每部小说,基本都有各自独特的气血,如赎罪的纠结与野心,水泥花园的禁忌猎奇,陌生人的反当代文艺范,无辜者的德式神秘,阿姆斯特丹的黑色幽默,海滩的伪小清新,追日的美式肥腻……然这不儿童法案仿佛刻意修枝剪叶,刻板标准,雕琢工巧,惊人语含而不发,题材也是伊恩...
评分 评分在社会高度发达的时候,这本书探讨的主题或许可以进入大众视野;毕竟对于当今社会,能在法律层面呈现案件最大的合理、极大程度体现个人生命的福祉已经是相当高的要求了,所以如何将道德信仰与法律等硬性标准结合起来只有在那些法律高度发达的国家才配享有,我极力建议作为共产...
