具体描述
The famous opening line of the novel warns of the bleak narrative to follow, "Neither of the Grimes sisters would have a happy life, and looking back it always seemed that the trouble began with their parents’ divorce." Emily and Sarah Grimes are sisters who share little in terms of character but much in terms of disappointment with their lives. Emily, the more intellectual and cosmopolitan of the two, seeks love in numerous disappointing affairs and short-term relationships while Sarah, the prettier and more conventional sister, marries young and bears children to an uncouth and abusive husband. Their troubled, rootless mother, Pookie, like many Yatesian matriarchs, is likely modeled on his own mother, who was nicknamed "Dookie". The novel, beginning in the 1930s when the sisters are children and ending in the 1970s with Sarah's death, primarily revolves around Emily as the book's central character, though the book employs Yates' characteristic and seamless shifts of consciousness throughout.

读后感
《复活节游行》我读了两遍。第一遍是一口气读完的，因为急于想知道爱米莉的命运。第二遍过后才发现，她并没有什么命运可言。这个词对她来说太大了，对大多数的女人也是。求学工作，结婚生子，应付小小的波折和琐事，还没来得及想明白，已经进入了五十岁。人说四十不惑，但全书...

本来以为主题是不婚不育保平安，读完才意识到人生好像只是运气的问题，不是你受到良好教育或外形美丽就一定能被爱，只不过碰巧遇到什么样的人而已。当然也可以自己一个人过，但年轻时可能会有各式各样的dates，成为中年女性后这样的机会就越来越少了吧；如果事业上也差强人意，大概真的会非常孤独吧。讲到这里心生很多切身的恐惧。（第一次读Yates的原作，反而不如以前读他其他作品的中文版时感受到的绝望强烈。可能因为这本比较pov？

评分Enjoy life now, even if you think it's shit. Because it can always go shitter.
评分the last chapter makes me very emotional.. is women's strength really so?
评分作者像是个温柔而冷静的旁观者，流水般的笔触写出迫人的忧伤。沉稳的笔调下是平静而又残酷的痛和孤独。当Peter说“if we have another girl we might name her after you”时，Emily哭，我也哭，因为我知道她和她姐姐一样，等于是死了。
