From the Man Booker Prize–winning author of The Line of Beauty: a magnificent, century-spanning saga about a love triangle that spawns a myth, and a family mystery, across generations.
In the late summer of 1913, George Sawle brings his Cambridge schoolmate—a handsome, aristocratic young poet named Cecil Valance—to his family’s modest home outside London for the weekend. George is enthralled by Cecil, and soon his sixteen-year-old sister, Daphne, is equally besotted by him and the stories he tells about Corley Court, the country estate he is heir to. But what Cecil writes in Daphne’s autograph album will change their and their families’ lives forever: a poem that, after Cecil is killed in the Great War and his reputation burnished, will become a touchstone for a generation, a work recited by every schoolchild in England. Over time, a tragic love story is spun, even as other secrets lie buried—until, decades later, an ambitious biographer threatens to unearth them.
Rich with Hollinghurst’s signature gifts—haunting sensuality, delicious wit and exquisite lyricism—The Stranger’s Child is a tour de force: a masterly novel about the lingering power of desire, how the heart creates its own history, and how legends are made.
Alan Hollinghurst was born in 1954.

Hollinghurst的新书《The Stranger’s Child》基本就是一部Gay版《Possession》,都是由虚构的历史人物引出的一连串学术悬疑和文史寻根。 很显然,近年来,这类题材很受追捧。无论是畅销小说作家还是严肃的文学小说的作家都对此类题材情有独钟。 一是这类作品情节跌宕起伏,...

评分加长版莫里斯的情人,嗯。文字好细腻,刚开读。似乎都闻到了塞西的雪茄的味道,丝丝丝丝,吊床里依偎着的两个男孩,鲜活的肉体肆意缠绕…迷离、鬼魅。因为这不一件体面的事,所以我必须在见不得人的夜色中完成,对不起……别多想,这是说的抽雪茄。 以前的人都好讲究。烟盒、正...
评分1913年夏末,乔治·索尔带朋友、贵族诗人塞西尔·瓦朗斯到两英亩庄园度周末。他十六岁的妹妹达夫妮爱上了塞西尔,却没有发现两个男孩之间隐秘的情愫。 其实全部的谜底在第一章里已经全部揭晓了,我喜欢这种写法。作者无意写成一部长篇悬疑侦探小说。因为所有侦探小说在揭露真相...
