From the acclaimed author of The Rehearsal comes a novel about a young woman on trial for murder in nineteenth-century New Zealand.
On a blustery January day, a prostitute is arrested. In the midst of the 1866 gold rush on the coast of New Zealand, this might have gone unnoticed. But three notable events occur on that same day: a luckless drunk dies, a wealthy man vanishes, and a ship's captain of ill repute cancels all of his business and weighs anchor, as if making an escape. Anna Wetherell, the prostitute in question, is connected to all three men.
This sequence of apparently coincidental events provokes a secret council of powerful townsmen to investigate. But they are interrupted by the arrival of a stranger: young Walter Moody, who has a secret of his own...
THE LUMINARIES is an intricately crafted feat of storytelling, a mystery that reveals the ways our interconnected lives reshape our destinies.

这是继The Whale Rider后读到的第二本新西兰小说,之所以会有兴趣找来这本读,一是因为布克奖的光环,二是因为作者是我的同龄人。本书当然算不上一本完美的小说,不过花了很长时间终于读完后,倒是完全可以理解为什么能得奖。任何一本小说其实可以用独特来形容,然而这本的独特...
评分中译《明》(豆瓣说是哈利波特系列的译者的作品),又是本在我的audible里积灰了快五年,终于听完的书。值得二刷。鉴于作者一上来就把十几个人物“chua”地一股脑摆在读者面前,听有声书是个好主意——口音有时候要比人名好辨认。 这本书的结构挺神奇:章节的长度是递减的,每...
评分我想我是因為自己在紐西蘭呆了一年 去過霍基蒂卡與但尼丁 知道這些地理環境 也瞭解一些毛利文化 再加上幾個博物館看過淘金時期的資料 尤其一些中國人留下的地圖與影像 https://youtu.be/xUPmQLt7Vrc 這印象對我閱讀這本書幫助很大 不過我向來討厭多人同譯一書 那表示翻譯過...
评分今年年头的时候,南半球的夏天,我和好友S去新西兰游玩,因为不是自驾,全程几乎都是坐大巴。新西兰的大巴司机挺有意思,路上会带上麦克风和旅客聊风景。然后某一程上,司机大叔介绍了一本小说,说这本小说讲新西兰淘金时代的故事,好评如潮,他的原话是’international sensat...
