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.

评分这种事无巨细地描述角色性格、经历和行为动机有些让我想到《一句顶一万句》,两者因而也都必然触及了人与人之间的无法理解和难以排解的孤独。不过本书相比而言更温暖一些。 占星的术语我并不能理解深意,灵异内容也略有些frustrating,并且Anna和Crosbie的过去让我觉得有些不太能理解,但除此之外没有什么觉得不满的。 Crosbie和阿苏故事最为让我悲伤。

评分19世纪新西兰淘金潮背景的悬疑故事。对于喜欢悬疑故事的读者来说,不推荐!冗长,重复已知内容不止一遍,花里胡哨太多。
评分可读性很强,Page turner,但以畅销剧情类的标准,太长太绕;以严肃文学的标准,缺乏内核;模仿19世纪文风,越往后写得越稀松。怎么得奖的?
之前读完的时候就对原书末尾附的作者的一篇采访印象颇深,因为从中我或多或少了解了作者的一些意图,也帮助我理解了她创造人物性格时的动机。于是我当时就决定想自己把它翻出来,也希望给想要了解这本书多一点和对这本书感兴趣的读者一点帮助。 这里想多说一句的是,在读完这本...

评分 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...
