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.

“你已经勇敢了,那就再勇敢一点”,书里的主角之一这样说,而且一而再,再而三的这样说。这样说的意思,你知道,就是勇敢已经在打折扣了。她对自己面临的状况有这样的描述:我看见眼前有两条路,可它们都是黑暗的。怎么选,仿佛都是绝路。 这话出自法兰西斯,她是《房客》的...

熟悉华老师作品的人一定知道,她的书,常常是抓马非凡----所以这次也是不例外。 不同于维多利亚三部曲,这本书是在一战后的英国。熟悉西方历史的便知道,一战过后,虽然英国算是战赢,但战争带来的,总是伤痕累累,无论输赢。这本书的设定是20世纪20年代,也就是说,不久西方...

出于对她前几部书的热爱,尤其是直追狄更斯”荒凉山庄”的”轻舔丝绒”, 直接在第一时间买了她这本最新作品。 整部小说虽然以第三人称Frances来写,但视角实际上是第一人称视角,处处都是描述Frances的经历和感觉。题材仍然和同性恋有关,但故事简单了很多,没有前几部作品中...

還沉醉在兩人間的real tendernese時 故事突然急轉直下看得神經緊張內心盤根錯節 是熟悉的華老師沒錯 不過摺磨讀者的功夫又level up瞭。“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

affairs,homosexual or heterosexual,share the same bromidic and banal romantic cliche in the eye of a perspicacious bystander.

坐瞭n次長途飛機都沒有看完,part3真是把我逼瘋瞭(但還是很好脾氣地沒有直接去翻結局)。人物設定讓我總懷疑華老師是把前幾部的研究素材拿來重復利用。

【2018年讀】整體不錯,但前後風格非常不統一(非貶義),更喜歡前半部分那種壓抑曖昧的情愫,後麵太沉重真實瞭...
