Kim Edwardsas stunning family drama evokes the spirit of Sue Miller and Alice Sebold, articulating every motheras silent fear: what would happen if you lost your child and she grew up without you? In 1964, when a blizzard forces Dr. David Henry to deliver his own twins, he immediately recognizes that one of them has Down Syndrome and makes a split-second decision that will haunt all their lives forever. He asks his nurse to take the baby away to an institution and to keep her birth a secret. Instead, she disappears into another city to raise the child as her own.

評分"你捕捉不住光线。你只能抬起头来,让光线照在你的脸上。”“爸爸试图让一切定格,但世界是流动的,包围不住的。” 英文的书名是——the timekeeper's daughter,读完印象最深的并不是故事的主线——谎言造成的隔阂,而是亨利用相机徒劳地捕捉每个光与影。就像他儿子保...

评分painfully beautiful!
评分終於在地鐵上把它看完瞭
评分額(⊙o⊙)…
评分寫的很細膩,25年裏,兩個傢庭,6個人,各自細微的心理變化都刻畫的很動人。——活在過去的恐懼裏,害怕過去的災難重演,反而促成瞭新的輪迴。命運不需要懼怕,麵對即可,逃避它,最終它還是會找迴來,以奇怪而無奈的姿態。
