Kitty Maule longs to be "totally unreasonable, totally unfair, very demanding, and very beautiful." She is instead clever, reticent, self-possessed, and striking. For years. Kitty has been tactfully courting her colleague Maurice Bishop, a detached, elegant English professor. Now, running out of patience, Kitty's amorous pursuit takes her from rancorous academic committee rooms and lecture halls to French cathedrals and Parisian rooming houses, from sittings with her dress-making grandmother to seances with a grandmotherly psychic. Touching, funny, and stylistically breathtaking, Providence is a brightly polished gem of romantic comedy.
Anita Brookner published her first novel, A Start In Life in 1981. Her most notable novel, her fourth, Hotel du Lac won the Man Booker Prize in 1984. Her novel, The Next Big Thing was longlisted (alongside John Banville's, Shroud) in 2002 for the Man Booker Prize. She has published over 25 works of fiction, notably: Strangers (2009) shortlisted for the James Tait Black Memorial Prize, Fraud (1992) and, The Rules of Engagement (2003). She is also the first female to hold a Slade Professorship of Fine Arts at Cambridge University.
并不想对这部小说做太多评价,它讲的无非是一个无疾而终的爱情故事。女主人公凯蒂·莫勒没有特殊性,虽然她的英国式拘谨使她与周围环境格格不入,但读者细察之后便会发现,这种古板不过是家庭氛围的产物,并没有什么特殊之处。事实上,读者很容易推想出一个像凯蒂一样长大的人...

私以為這本比獲過奬的杜蘭葛酒店要好。。。對女性處境的探討很現實也很“福樓拜”。。。
评分女性作傢的作品,充滿瞭各種心理活動的描寫,有些沉悶,沒有太多故事情節,總是被女主緊張兮兮的情緒壓著,不喜歡這種類型。
评分雖然看上去很。。仔細想想故事情節還挺俗套的。她的展開方式和部分敘述讓人會心一擊,迎閤瞭多少少女心事。。書中穿插瞭大段浪漫主義和理性主義的衝突(看伐懂)。書名providence也有種希臘悲劇式的意味。
评分魚竿醬推薦。
