David Nicholls trained as an actor before making the switch to writing. He is the author of two previous novels—Starter For Ten and The Understudy. He has also written many screenplays for film and television, including the feature film adaptation of Starter For Ten and One Day. He lives in London.
Emma Morley and Dexter Mayhew, casual acquaintances during their university years, spend graduation night together. It’s July 15, 1988, and their futures are up in the air. Dexter, the handsome, confident son of a well-to-do family, knows only that he wants “to be successful. . . . to live life to the extreme, but without any mess or complications” [p. 9]. Emma is determined to stay true to her left-leaning passions and ideals though she has little idea of how she’ll do it. They part the next day with vague promises to keep in touch as Dexter sets off to travel the world and Emma returns to her working-class family in Leeds to figure out what she’ll do next. Over the next twenty years, they’ll think about each other, sometimes to meet and reignite a relationship that neither can give up nor explain. One Day revisits Dexter and Emma every year on the anniversary of their first night together. Each July 15th becomes a snapshot of a particular time and place, offering an irresistible and often hilarious chronicle of the lovers they acquire, the careers they pursue, the culture that influences them, and the opportunities they embrace or squander. As their stories unfold, David Nicholls brilliantly explores the interplay of character and fate that shape our lives. Emma Morley和Dexter Mayhew在大学中偶然相识,共同度过了他们的毕业之夜。那是1988年7月15日,两人的未来都悬而未决。Dexter这个来自于富裕家庭的自信、英俊的男孩,只知道他未来的梦想是“想要成功…过刺激的生活、但不要有混乱和曲折。”Emma决定面对自己左倾的热情和梦想,但她也不知道该做些什么。第二天他们分开,Dexter去环游世界、Emma返回自己在英国利兹的工薪阶层家庭思考未来做些什么,在分别前二人模糊地约定保持联络。在接下来的20年中,两人挂念着彼此,有时见面重燃这种既不能割舍又难以解释的关系。 《一天》记录了Dexter和Emma两人在20年的跨度之中是如何度过7月15日——他们的纪念日——这一天的。每年的7月15日就像一个特定时空的快照,为我们展示了他们的恋人、事业、周边环境、获得或者是浪费掉的机会的编年史,使观众被深深吸引、经常忍俊不禁。随着他们故事的展开,我们看到了性格和命运会如何塑造我们的生活。
人的一生不知道有多少天是虚度的,时光匆匆,以加速度向前。可是生命中的一些时刻,是值得去企盼去回忆的。有些人,始终住在你心底里。也许自己有时候会迷失,也许有时候不情愿承认。但最后,当你能够面对这一切的时候,会坦然和欣慰。 如果那天dex没有在毕业那天遇到...
评分题记:We could hardly let go of the person we loved wholeheartedly when we were young, even if he/she has become worse and worse over the years. Although true love makes people blind, it is such an amazing, fantastic, fascinating thing that nobody wanna mis...
评分#1 正正经经的书评——情系之久,不能有断 可能因为Nicholls之前有过丰富的表演和编剧经验,One Day带着强烈的剧本倾向——细节性,戏剧性,以及一定的合理性。 David Nicholls不是我最喜欢的作者之一。我没有读过他之前的任何一本书。在一个无所事事的下午,我收到了几天...
评分 评分我承认我被电影里帅的不食人间烟火的Dex弄的失眠,看完电影满床打滚被朋朋翻白眼,好不容易找到原书走路的时候都举着kindle,眼睛都不眨直到把书读完。 很没骨气也很没志气。 普通Slide一般的电影设置辜负了海报给我的惊艳。我早就想好,如果能自己DIY房间墙纸,就一定要平铺...
也是英文原版,果然看过电影再看小说容易很多,在美国看到savage的原版书,因为没看过电影就迟疑了一下结果再也没见到有卖的了⋯⋯遇到想买的还是要下手啊,勿错过。
评分It's always so nice to go back and find out where the story started in the end of everything. We all once were at the life point of finishing the collage and there was a brand new future in front of us, we planed what we were going to do, who we were going to love, and meanwhile wanted to stay in the dreaming past . But we were wrong, we never can
评分I've been obssessed with someone for many years as Emma did. However, at a certain point I saw through him and made up my mind to move on. Up to now, I've been living a blissful life.
评分sb状看见封面走不动道就买了TT
评分我在Em身上看到了很多人的影子,包括自己
