Fiona Maye is a High Court judge in London presiding over cases in family court. She is fiercely intelligent, well respected, and deeply immersed in the nuances of her particular field of law. Often the outcome of a case seems simple from the outside, the course of action to ensure a child's welfare obvious. But the law requires more rigor than mere pragmatism, and Fiona is expert in considering the sensitivities of culture and religion when handing down her verdicts.
But Fiona's professional success belies domestic strife. Her husband, Jack, asks her to consider an open marriage and, after an argument, moves out of their house. His departure leaves her adrift, wondering whether it was not love she had lost so much as a modern form of respectability; whether it was not contempt and ostracism she really fears. She decides to throw herself into her work, especially a complex case involving a seventeen-year-old boy whose parents will not permit a lifesaving blood transfusion because it conflicts with their beliefs as Jehovah's Witnesses. But Jack doesn't leave her thoughts, and the pressure to resolve the case—as well as her crumbling marriage—tests Fiona in ways that will keep readers thoroughly enthralled until the last stunning page.

差不多三口氣讀完。入戲太快讀得我心情好起伏。16歲接觸耶和華見證人,讀瞭他們的聖經,也瞭解瞭無血手術。宗教和法律的交織好有趣,再加上對Fiona和Jack婚姻的反射,深不見底!

評分大概是我給評分一直就很吝嗇吧。這本書我是兩天看完的,非常想知道結局,可是結局又好像不似結局,稀裏糊塗,迷迷茫茫。 看的是英文,就不評論文筆瞭。隻覺有種鞦天的笙簫瑟瑟之感。
評分Is there any place between attachment and detachment?
伊恩的每部小说,基本都有各自独特的气血,如赎罪的纠结与野心,水泥花园的禁忌猎奇,陌生人的反当代文艺范,无辜者的德式神秘,阿姆斯特丹的黑色幽默,海滩的伪小清新,追日的美式肥腻……然这不儿童法案仿佛刻意修枝剪叶,刻板标准,雕琢工巧,惊人语含而不发,题材也是伊恩...
評分在社会高度发达的时候,这本书探讨的主题或许可以进入大众视野;毕竟对于当今社会,能在法律层面呈现案件最大的合理、极大程度体现个人生命的福祉已经是相当高的要求了,所以如何将道德信仰与法律等硬性标准结合起来只有在那些法律高度发达的国家才配享有,我极力建议作为共产...
評分看到豆瓣有人评论,说对这种精致的十万字左右的故事感到腻味。我也有类似的感受,并且又开始质疑小说的意义。 如果我们可以用理性精确的语言来探讨宗教、信仰和伦理问题,那么信息量会更大,也更有思维价值。小说只是浮于表层的,让我们窥视了这一严肃而深刻的话题。它不需要太...
