It is 1922, and London is tense. Ex-servicemen are disillusioned, the out-of-work and the hungry are demanding change. And in South London, in a genteel Camberwell villa, a large silent house now bereft of brothers, husband and even servants, life is about to be transformed, as impoverished widow Mrs Wray and her spinster daughter, Frances, are obliged to take in lodgers.
For with the arrival of Lilian and Leonard Barber, a modern young couple of the 'clerk class', the routines of the house will be shaken up in unexpected ways. And as passions mount and frustration gathers, no one can foresee just how far-reaching, and how devastating, the disturbances will be...
This is vintage Sarah Waters: beautifully described with excruciating tension, real tenderness, believable characters, and surprises. It is above all, a wonderful, compelling story.
Sarah Waters was born in Wales in 1966 and lives in London. Author of Tipping the Velvet, Affinity, Fingersmith and The Night Watch, her most recent book is The Little Stranger. All of her books have attracted prizes: she won a Betty Trask Award, the Somerset Maugham Award and was twice shortlisted for the Mail on Sunday/John Llewellyn Rhys Prize. Fingersmith and The Night Watch were both shortlisted for the Man Booker and Orange prizes, and Fingersmith won the CWA Ellis Peters Dagger Award for Historical Crime Fiction and the South Bank Show Award for Literature. Tipping the Velvet, Affinity and Fingersmith have all been adapted for television.
The Little Stranger was a bestselling hardback and was shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize.
3.5 太长太啰嗦了,读到后半程特别疲惫(而且结局这个道德选择是不是有点???)。然而这一切都不能改变华老师【真·姬佬之光】的存在!写两个妇女欲罢不能又心惊胆战地相爱的那个过程,真的太引人入胜了……而第一次接吻滚床单那里可以说是看得合不拢腿了。嘤。
评分还沉醉在两人间的real tendernese时 故事突然急转直下看得神经紧张内心盘根错节 是熟悉的华老师没错 不过折磨读者的功夫又level up了。“the two of them in their stone corner, their dark clothes bleeding into the dusk, lights being kindled across the city, and a few pale stars in the sky."
评分被华老师折磨的百转千回,累死了。

评分如此的细腻,如此的细节,却又有那么多的层次!事态的发展、人物的情绪,无时无刻不在变化着(feel moment by moment with the characters)。这是个拉拉故事,却厚重得囊括了整个人类的情感:爱与恨、恐惧、懦弱与勇敢。华老师挑了一条艰苦的道路(the aftermath of crime),死亡不再是耸耸肩就可以挥之而去的,而这“之后”的重复与冗长是如此血肉丰盈!
《房客》的故事始于一个谎言——将租客称作“付房租的客人”(THE PAYING GUESTS),家道中落不得不靠出租房屋维持生计的弗朗西丝一家以此挽回一点面子。这个谎言道出了那些教养良好、养尊处优的人们虚伪的本质,他们拒绝承认钱和工作是生活的重心,明明生活拮据却更关心那些无...
评分华老师的盛名在这里就不多作赘述了。 她的小说,你读的越多,越会发现她是属于“套路很深”的那一类作家。她熟悉并掌握所有可以吊人胃口的套路,却从不令我讨厌,相反还很是受用。 《房客》的第一个看点,综合了小说简介,自然是“且看这俩女的咋搞起来”。 小说里,弗朗西丝和...
评分这本书和华老师前几本相比,意外的容易读,不过我还是惯性的以不着调的节奏,今天看一点,明天看一点,直到30%才进入状态,而看到50%的时候就进入秉烛夜读的模式一晚上看完了,虽然最后10%看得有点痛苦。 不知道是不是这一部看得格外带入的关系,中间虽然情节并没有太出乎意料...
