Memories define us. So what if you lost yours every time you went to sleep? Welcome to Christine’s life.
Christine wakes up every morning in an unfamiliar bed with an unfamiliar man. She looks in the mirror and sees an unfamiliar, middle- aged face. And every morning, the man she has woken up with must explain that he is Ben, he is her husband, she is forty-seven years old, and a terrible accident two decades earlier decimated her ability to form new memories.
But it’s the phone call from a Dr. Nash, a neurologist who claims to be working with Christine without her husband’s knowledge, that directs her to her journal, hidden in the back of her closet. For the past few weeks, Christine has been recording her daily activities—tearful mornings with Ben, sessions with Dr. Nash, flashes of scenes from her former life—and rereading past entries, relearning the facts of her life as retold by the husband she is completely dependent upon. As the entries build up, Christine asks many questions. What was life like before the accident? Why did she and Ben never have a child? What has happened to Christine’s best friend? And what exactly was the horrific accident that caused such a profound loss of memory?
Every day, Christine must begin again the reconstruction of her past. And the closer she gets to the truth, the more un- believable it seems.
Before I Go to Sleep is the astonishing, haunting debut novel from newcomer S J Watson. Likened to a literary mash-up of Memento, Inception and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Before I Go to Sleep will touch everyone who reads it.
这本书从买来,直到刚刚我读完了它,大概过了将近半年时间。第一次看的时候,我发现它真是太平淡太无趣了,于是看了大概20页就放到了一边。 今天我想重新找个时间看,我不相信这么畅销的一本书会是乏味无奇的,然而事实证明我错了,它的确就是一本彻底乏味无奇的书。 书名叫做...
評分有人说记忆是活过的证据,我觉得这表述问题很大,根本就没有把严重性表达出来——记忆根本就是活着本身,我们生活中有太多自然得证的东西无需解释,但是没有记忆,根本就是什么都没有,呜呼哀哉。 所以回到本作的失忆题材,其实早就不新鲜了,电影有名噪江湖的《记忆碎片》,...
評分 評分 評分看这本书的时候,却让我奇妙地联想到日系推理小说。日系推理小说特别是叙述性诡计的小说,经常能看到大段大段的日记(内心独白也可以算作日记)。文字描述本来就容易造成意义模糊,而日记更加剧了这种现象。比方说在日记里提到“小可”,也许并不是指一个人,也可能是指一条可...
打發時間還不錯
评分讀瞭review,爭取三周內讀完。據說虎頭蛇尾啊。。囧
评分who TMD來告訴我...最後的大團員結局是怎麼來的,太突兀瞭
评分who TMD來告訴我...最後的大團員結局是怎麼來的,太突兀瞭
评分看這書時我期待的是主人公搞不清楚哪裏是現實哪裏是想象,因為對生活的記憶全來自自己的日記,最後發現一切不過是平淡生活中臆構的冒險。結果搞瞭半天完全就是個庸俗不堪的懸疑小說。
