In the playful tradition of The Time Traveler’s Wife comes an enchanting story about love in its many forms, and a man’s timeless journey into the unknowable territory of the woman he loves. From the moment they first sleep together -- piled atop seven mattresses in her dorm room -- N. is pulled ineluctably into a rich and enchanted relationship with Margaret Towne, a woman who will introduce him to worlds he never dreamed existed. Written as a final letter from N. to his young daughter, Jane, Margarettown recounts the story of his relationship with Margaret. Margaret Towne is the name of the woman he loves and of the town she introduces him to, Margarettown. It is a place both real and imagined, located somewhere in upstate New York and home to a mysterious "family" of women named Old Margaret, Marge, Mia, Maggie, and May. In this strange and fantastical place, N. and Margaret become joined forever. Margarettown is a story of what it takes to love the same person for a lifetime and about the impossibility of really knowing anything about who it is we have come to love.

我记得那个时候,有个笑话,说男人自始至终只爱年轻女孩,而女孩子,每一个年纪喜欢的男人是不一样的。而泽文这本书,告诉我们的就是这样一个故事,一个女人希望自己的男人,爱每一个阶段的自己,要自己每一个阶段的生活,都有同一个男人爱的故事。 事实总是残酷的,我们在自...

“Love is usually finite,but still worthwhile for as long as it lasts.” Wonderful Gabrielle Zevin !
评分Though in reality , you can never foresee what your beloved will be like when loving her/him at 17 ,or 25
评分當你愛上一個女人,你愛上的是無數個不同階段、不斷變化的女人。小說寫得通俗而奇幻,在婚姻生活裏,必然要經曆的階段,寫得十分真摯。Jane的結局很暖心,大概是作者的特色吧!
评分2%: 鬼馬俏皮又聰明的Maggie……邂逅好可愛,拿支筆一支寫不齣直到寫他的名字。 100% 精靈可愛的女主角,歐美文學裏的男性多是有些不羈的,和現實很像,女性也多少有類似氣質,最後那個句there is some nobility in monogamy 把我給感動瞭
评分It's sad to say, but we really learn how to love during absence.
