"This family did not have a drop of humanity in it before. I think I’ve changed that." --Diana For all the millions of words that have been written about the People’s Princess, no one has yet penetrated palace walls to reveal what has really happened to the Royal Family she left behind ten years ago. Until now. In the manner of his No. 1 New York Times bestsellers The Day Diana Died and The Day John Died , as well as such other bestsellers as his Jack and Jackie , Jackie After Jack , and Diana’s Boys , Christopher Andersen (who was consulted by Operation Paget, Scotland Yard’s official inquiry into Diana's Death) draws on important new sources to paint the first full portrait of a Royal Family still haunted by the ghost of Diana. All the compelling elements of a true dynastic saga are here: power, sex, wealth, intrigue, betrayal, tragedy, and scandal. But so, too, is the Princess’s legacy of love and compassion‹alive in the sons who have grown to manhood and are now forging a legacy of their own. Among After Diana’s many stunning revelations: The many times Diana predicted with uncanny accuracy how she would die, why she feared for Camilla's life as well as her own -- and the surprising, never-before-revealed identity of the woman Diana really felt might one day be Queen. New details about the hours and days after Diana's death: Charles’s reaction the moment he saw Diana's body, how Camilla dealt with suddenly becoming the most hated woman in the world, and her secret eight-year campaign to replace Diana. How William and Harry have dealt with the public and private pressures -- the troubling influence of their substance-abusing aristocrat friends; from drugs to Nazi uniforms to lap dances and barroom brawls, fresh details about the Princes’ wild behavior and the demons that still haunt them. How Charles cheated on Camilla as well as Diana, and the intriguing other women in the Prince of Wales’s life. Despite Charles's heated denials, the behind-the-scenes maneuvering to make Camilla Queen -- and the Palace power struggle that rages today. Inside Operation Paget, Scotland Yard’s ongoing probe into Diana’s death -- why, ten years after, investigators were still shocked by what they found. The day Charles was asked point-blank by Scotland Yard if he killed his wife -- and what he said. The many beautiful young women in the lives of William and Harry over the past ten years -- including Will's longtime love Kate Middleton, her chances of one day becoming Queen, and why he fears she may meet the same fate as his mother. William's obsession with speed, Harry's hunger for risk-taking, and a shared thirst for battle that could lead both Princes to combat in Iraq. New information on whether the Queen plans to step aside and who she really wants to see succeed her on the throne. Sometimes heartbreaking, often inspiring, always riveting, After Diana is more than just the first comprehensive, compelling biography of the House of Windsor as it is today. It is a bittersweet tale of love, loss, duty, and destiny. It is the story of a family.

这本小说真是让人欲罢不能,我一口气读完了。作者的叙事功力简直是炉火纯青,每一个场景都描绘得栩栩如生,仿佛我就是那个身处其中的角色。故事的节奏把握得极好,高潮迭起,总能在你以为一切尘埃落定时,抛出一个新的转折,让你心头一紧。我尤其欣赏作者对人物内心的刻画,那些细腻的情感波动,那些难以言说的挣扎,都被刻画得入木三分。你甚至能感觉到角色的呼吸,他们的痛苦与喜悦都深深地感染着你。书中对那个特定时代的氛围营造得也十分到位,那种淡淡的怀旧感和现实的残酷交织在一起,形成了一种独特的张力。尽管故事情节复杂,但作者的文笔却异常清晰流畅,没有丝毫拖泥带水的感觉。读完之后,我的脑海里久久回荡的,是那些鲜活的形象和他们所经历的一切。这是一次非常棒的阅读体验,绝对值得推荐给所有热爱深度叙事和复杂人物关系的朋友们。它不仅仅是一个故事,更像是一面映照人性的镜子,让你在阅读的过程中不断反思和成长。
评分我必须承认,这本书的后劲很大,不是那种读完就丢掉的快餐文学。它更像是一首悠长的挽歌,旋律在你的记忆深处萦绕不去。最让我震撼的是作者处理“记忆”的方式。书中对过去事件的回溯和现在视角的交织,处理得极其成熟,没有让叙事陷入混乱,反而让真相像多棱镜一样,从不同的角度折射出不同的光芒。你以为你看清了事实,但下一章作者又会用一个全新的视角来颠覆你的认知。这种叙事技巧,极大地增强了故事的张力。而且,书中对于一些重要时刻的描绘,非常克制,却又极具冲击力。它没有用宏大的场面去渲染,而是聚焦于一个眼神,一次沉默,让情感在静默中爆发。这需要作者对情感的精准拿捏。这是一部需要耐心阅读,但回报丰厚的作品,它让你思考什么是真实,什么是我们选择相信的真实。
评分我得说,这本书的文字功力实在是太扎眼了。它的语言不是那种华丽辞藻的堆砌,而是带着一种沉稳而有力的力量感。每一个句子都像经过了千锤百炼,精准地击中了故事的核心。我特别喜欢作者那种不动声色的描写方式,有时候只是用几个简单的词语,就能勾勒出一个宏大而又充满细节的画面。比如,对某个特定地点的光影变化,或者一个不经意的手势,都被赋予了不同寻常的意义。这种克制中的力量感,让整个故事显得厚重而富有层次。我读到一些段落时,甚至会停下来,反复咀嚼那些措辞的巧妙。它不是那种让你捧腹大笑或者痛哭流涕的直白叙事,而是一种渗透到骨子里的触动。你需要放慢速度去品味,去体会那些潜藏在字里行间的深意。对于那些追求文学性的读者来说,这本书无疑是一场盛宴。它证明了,最深刻的情感往往不需要喧哗的表达,只需最恰当的文字来承载。
评分说实话,我一开始有点担心这本书会不会太沉闷,毕竟题材看起来有些沉重。但读进去之后,才发现我的顾虑完全是多余的。作者巧妙地将严肃的主题包裹在一层引人入胜的悬念之中。每一次揭开谜底,都不是简单的真相大白,而是一个更深层次的困境的开始。这种“螺旋上升”的结构设计非常高明,它不断地拉扯着读者的好奇心,让你无法预测下一步会发生什么。书中构建的世界观逻辑严密,即便是最不合常理的情节,在作者的铺陈下也显得合乎情理。而且,书中穿插的那些哲学性的思考,并没有显得突兀或说教,而是自然而然地融入了人物的命运之中。我欣赏这种将思考融入行动的叙事方式。它迫使你不仅要关注“发生了什么”,更要思考“为什么会发生”。读完之后,我的大脑一直在嗡嗡作响,消化着那些关于选择、牺牲与救赎的复杂命题。
评分这本书给我的感觉,就像是在观看一部结构精妙的欧洲艺术电影,节奏缓慢但信息量巨大。它不迎合大众的阅读习惯,它要求读者投入时间和专注力。我尤其欣赏作者对于环境和气氛的营造。那个小镇,或者说那个封闭的社群,仿佛拥有了自己的生命和呼吸,充满了压抑、秘密和未言明的规矩。你仿佛能闻到空气中那种潮湿和陈旧的气味。这种沉浸感是非常难得的。而且,书中关于人际关系网的描写,细密得令人咋舌。每一个配角,哪怕只出现几页,都有其存在的意义和明确的动机,没有一个角色是纯粹的背景板。他们之间的互动,微妙地推动着主线的走向。这本小说展示了如何通过细微的动作和含蓄的对话,来构建一个真实可信的社会生态。对于那些喜欢研究人性的复杂面向的读者,这本书提供了丰富的素材和深刻的洞察。
