具体描述
From the internationally acclaimed, best-selling author of The English Patient: a mesmerizing new novel that tells a dramatic story set in the decade after World War II through the lives of a small group of unexpected characters and two teenagers whose lives are indelibly shaped by their unwitting involvement.
In a narrative as beguiling and mysterious as memory itself--shadowed and luminous at once--we read the story of fourteen-year-old Nathaniel, and his older sister, Rachel. In 1945, just after World War II, they stay behind in London when their parents move to Singapore, leaving them in the care of a mysterious figure named The Moth. They suspect he might be a criminal, and they grow both more convinced and less concerned as they come to know his eccentric crew of friends: men and women joined by a shared history of unspecified service during the war, all of whom seem, in some way, determined now to protect, and educate (in rather unusual ways) Rachel and Nathaniel. But are they really what and who they claim to be? And what does it mean when the siblings' mother returns after months of silence without their father, explaining nothing, excusing nothing? A dozen years later, Nathaniel begins to uncover all that he didn't know and understand in that time, and it is this journey--through facts, recollection, and imagination--that he narrates in this masterwork from one of the great writers of our time.

读后感
（文章见于晶报深港书评） 文/俞耕耘 翁达杰曾说，他写小说就像抽丝剥茧的考古，呈现过去，重返现在。这其实是自诩一种才华：让想象逼近现实，使细节变为结构，承载生活。这位获得金布克奖的作家，以《英国病人》一书闻名于世。2018年，小说《战时灯火》入围布克奖，再次显示了...

4 把二戰這個爛大街的題材玩出新花樣不是易事，把視角放在追尋真相的少年身上，真正的主角是戰後處於迷霧夜色裡的英國。離Ondaatje最好的水平有一段距離，但還是足夠精彩細膩。Rose延續他筆下女主背負著神秘過去的歷史，在天空翱翔自由的Olive有點像Anil，反而男主角最後那個驚天秘密頗為狗血。
评分男孩子成长故事，通过英国的谍战联系起来，从孩子的视角看人和事，从情报人员的视角进行回顾，往事如流水，波光粼粼不过是匆匆的一瞥，汹涌的感情才是原谅
评分又被捧得那么高？冲着作者的名气，逼着自己看完1/3，实在写的一般。形散不要紧，神也散。想要说明什么呢？通过Nathan的眼睛在观察出现在他身边的一些人物，so what？一点也没意思。如果要这样看完80%，再憋个大招的话，实在憋不住。弃了。
