Four strong women from different walks of life in Australia, London and San Francisco, they've all come to the breathtakingly beautiful isle of Corfu seeking the same thing—refuge. Between marriage woes, dead-end careers, and demanding families, these women need a vacation—a little sun, a few shots of Sambuca, and a couple of sexy Greek men will surely allow them to relax, right? Maybe not.
Australian Claire Dillon is 46, still has amazing legs, and is ready for a change. Her husband is having an affair with a 29-year old masseuse, and her gay son is looking for a father figure in a series of unsuitable boyfriends. When she takes off for Corfu in the middle of disaster, everyone says she's gone mad—and she's out to prove them right.
Parker Glass' marriage lasted eleven days, not exactly what the perfectionist interior designer from San Francisco had dreamed of. After a breakdown at work, her partner firmly suggests she use her scheduled honeymoon time for some much needed sun and relaxation in the Greek Isles. At first, the vacation seems just the thing for getting her life back on track... but sometimes the cure is worse than the disease.
Anya Soberanes is convinced she's cursed—how else could she still be looking for her soulmate? When her aunt finds her unconscious in her San Francisco apartment after inadvertently overdosing on sleeping pills and telenovelas, her parents give her an ultimatum: either take a vacation with her friend's sister Parker, or check into a mental-health facility. As Anya discovers, facing her fears is easy in Greece—it's making her dreams come true that's the hard part.
25-year old Londoner Kelah Morris wants more than anything to publish a brilliant novel and prove to her editor mother that she's destined for more than selling popcorn at the cinema. All Kelah needs is an escape from her overbearing parents, dead-end job, jailbird brother and just-published friends to free herself of her infamous writer's block. Butshe doesn't factor in the possibility of wild career success and true love on her island getaway.
Together, these four women discover that sometimes you need to get away from it all to discover what you really need.

这本书给我的冲击是多层次的,它不仅仅是提供了一个故事,更像是一面镜子,映照出了一些我过去未曾正视的内心角落。结构上的巧妙安排,使得信息层层递进,每一次的转折都恰到好处地揭示了更深一层的含义。我欣赏那种不急于解释一切的态度,而是留给读者足够的空间去自行拼凑线索,去建立自己的理解框架。这种“参与式”的阅读体验,极大地增强了作品的耐读性。我甚至想立即去查阅一些相关的背景资料,以便能更全面地理解作者埋下的那些伏笔。这绝不是那种可以一目十行读完的书,它需要沉淀,需要反复咀嚼,才能品尝出其真正的韵味。
评分坦白说,初读时我曾对其中的某些设定感到一丝困惑,觉得它们似乎有些过于跳脱和抽象。然而,随着情节的深入,我逐渐意识到,正是这些看似不合逻辑的“跳脱”,构成了这部作品独有的逻辑体系和美学风格。作者毫不畏惧地挑战了传统的叙事规范,构建了一个极其自洽的微观宇宙。这种大胆的创新需要极强的驾驭能力,稍有不慎便会沦为故作高深,但幸运的是,作者掌握了火候。它像一首前卫的交响乐,初听可能有些刺耳,但一旦你适应了它的调性,便会被其复杂的层次感和内在的和谐性所震撼。这绝对是一次对阅读习惯的挑战,也是一次值得拥抱的尝试。
评分这部作品最让我赞叹的一点,在于它对“人性”这一宏大主题的探讨,展现出惊人的复杂性和多面性。它没有简单地将角色划分为好人与坏人,而是展示了在特定情境下,即便是最光辉的灵魂也会投下阴影,而看似平庸的人也能爆发出惊人的韧性。这种对灰色地带的深入挖掘,使得人物形象栩栩如生,充满了现实的重量感。阅读过程中,我时常会停下来,思考如果是我身处彼境,会做出何种选择。这种持续不断的内在对话,是我衡量一本经典作品的黄金标准。它真正做到了“言有尽而意无穷”,留下的思考余波,将陪伴我相当长一段时间。
评分读完后,我感到一种奇妙的怅然若失,仿佛刚刚告别了一群很久未见的老朋友。叙事节奏的把握简直是教科书级别的,时而紧凑得让人屏住呼吸,时而又放缓下来,让你有足够的时间去回味那些细微的情感波动和环境描摹。作者的文字功底深厚,用词精准,但绝不卖弄,那种流畅自然的感觉,仿佛每一个句子都是水到渠成。特别是对人物内心世界的刻画,细腻入微,我能清晰地感受到他们每一个挣扎、每一个微小的胜利。这种共情能力,是许多作品所缺乏的,它让故事不再是纸上的文字,而是活生生的生命在眼前展开。我合上书本,久久不能从那种氛围中抽离出来,这无疑是一次极其成功的阅读旅程。
评分翻开这本新书,我的心情如同等待一场期盼已久的冒险。封面设计简洁却引人入胜,那种淡淡的、带着一丝神秘感的色彩搭配,立刻抓住了我的眼球。书页的质感也相当不错,厚实而不失细腻,让人爱不释手,光是抚摸书皮就能感受到作者对这本书的用心。我一向喜欢那些能带来视觉愉悦的实体书,而这本绝对达到了我的期待。我甚至还没来得及细读内容,只是凭着这种美好的初印象,就已经对接下来要踏入的世界充满了美好的遐想。我期待着它能像一艘精美的帆船,载着我驶向未知的海域,带来新奇的体验和深刻的思考。这种迫不及待想要沉浸其中的感觉,是检验一本好书的最初标准。
