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.

因為kindle版減價所以買下來。想去搜一下plot劇透但發現goodreads和douban都沒有就作罷。看瞭四分之一,感覺情節進展緩慢,語言囉嗦。每個人物性格都從第三人稱角度來寫,在旁觀中剖析,讓人沒有和書中人感同身受的共情感覺。有點枯燥,也許是我不太喜歡看破案小說吧
評分布剋奬就是個坑
評分“Love cannot be reduced to a catalogue of reasons why, and a catalogue of reasons cannot be put together into love.”
評分不錯
評分抽絲剝繭之後可能覺得故事沒那麼蹊蹺 然而敘述的方式確實獨特又吸引人
一本八百多页的超长篇小说,你可能需要花一周甚至更多的时间来阅读,你最想在里面获得什么?如果你费很大的劲读完了,发现这本书讲的故事概括起来一点也不惊人,人物也没有让你觉得有任何共鸣,甚至你觉得有点扁平,你会失望地丢下这本书打个差评,还是会回过头来看,到底这本...
評分 評分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...
評分今年年头的时候,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...
