A novel of relationships set in 1940s London that brims with vivid historical detail, thrilling coincidences, and psychological complexity, by the author of the Booker Prize finalist Fingersmith.
Sarah Waters, whose works set in Victorian England have awards and acclaim and have reinvigorated the genres of both historical and lesbian fiction, returns with novel that marks a departure from nineteenth century and a spectacular leap forward in the career of this masterful storyteller.
Moving back through the 1940s, through air raids, blacked-out streets, illicit liasons, and sexual adventure, to end with its beginning in 1941, The Night Watch tells the story of Londoners: three women and a young man with a past-whose lives, and those of their friends and lovers, connect in ways that are surprising not always known to them. In wartime London, the women work-as ambulance drivers, ministry clerks, and building inspectors. There are feats of heroism, epic and quotidian, and tragedies both enormous and personal, but the emotional interiors of her characters that Waters captures with absolute and intimacy.
Waters describes with perfect knowingness the taut composure of a rescue worker in the aftermath of a bombing, the idle longing of a young woman her soldier lover, the peculiar thrill convict watching the sky ignite through the bars on his window, the hunger a woman stalking the streets for encounter, and the panic of another who sees her love affair coming end. At the same time, Waters is absolute control of a narrative that offers up subtle surprises and exquisite twists, even as it depicts the impact grand historical event on individual lives.
Tender, tragic, and beautifully poignant, The Night Watch is a towering achievement that confirms its author as "one of the best storytellers alive today" (Independent on Sunday).

評分可惜語言能力有限,跳著看的。
評分倒敘的三段式,47年、44年、41年。每一段都是草蛇灰綫、點到即止。最後的最後,如何開始的反倒不重要瞭。
評分去年去把JULIA和HELEN那天晚上的走的路走瞭一遍。
評分比finger smith 還要含蓄...抑或稱之為壓抑
在第418页倒数第二段和最后一段之间: (此为倒数第二段)They held each other's gaze, in silence; then moved together and kissed. Helen was still not quite used to the difference between Julia's kisses, and Kay's-to the relative strangeness of Julia's mouth, ...
評分阅读是一件太私密,太个人的事情。 虽然之前就已经知道《守夜》是一个开篇即是终结的故事,可是拿到书的第一时间浏览了封面,封面内折,封底,目录之后,我依然从故事终结的开篇1947开始读起。令人绝望,心灰意懒的1947。薇芙是唯一一个让我觉得伦敦的天空下还有色彩的“事物”...
評分读完《守夜》之后,有两个词留在了我心里——废墟与伤痕。 每每读完莎拉沃特斯笔下的那些背叛、欺骗、诡计,都会让我不可自制地被莎拉创造的绝望氛围笼罩中,悲念长久都得不到释放。如果说书本是精神粮食,那有些书本是给人以正面的力量,去健全读者的精神世界;而莎拉的书则...
