Sir Alfred Munnings, retiring President of the Royal Academy, chooses the 1949 Annual Banquet to launch a savage attack on Modern Art. The effect of his diatribe is doubly shocking, leaving not only his distinguished audience gasping but also many people tuning in to the BBC's live radio broadcast. But as he approaches the end of his assault, the speech suddenly dissolves into incoherence when he stumbles over a name - a name he normally takes such pains to avoid - that takes him back forty years to a special time and a special place. Summer in February is a disturbing and moving re-creation of a celebrated Edwardian artistic community enjoying the last days of a golden age soon to be shattered by war. As resonant and understated as The Go-Between, it is a love story of beauty, deprivation and tragedy.
I don't normally read romantic novels, and I decided to read this one purely because of the film, but this book totally got me. It is one of the few (so far) English books that I find hard to put down. Had I been given the chance I'd have finished it in one...

这本书给我的感觉非常“私人化”,仿佛作者是偷窥了我内心深处一些不愿承认的秘密,然后用一种极其优美的方式把它写了出来。它探讨了孤独的本质——那种身处人群中却依然感到世界与自己格格不入的疏离感。作者用一系列精确的意象,比如一个空旷的房间,一封永远寄不出的信,或是一场突如其来的大雨,来具象化这种无形的情绪。这种处理方式,比任何心理学的分析都来得有效和震撼。我尤其欣赏它的“留白”艺术,很多关键的转折点,作者选择不予赘述,而是将其留给读者的想象和内心去完成。这种信任读者的姿态,极大地增强了作品的互动性和感染力。我的阅读体验是持续性的,我时常会因为书中的某个句子而停下来,反复咀嚼,甚至在合上书本很久之后,某些场景的画面感依然清晰地停留在脑海中挥之不去。它不是那种提供安慰的读物,但它提供的“见证”感——有人和我一样感受过这种复杂的人性——却是无比强大的力量。这本书,是一次对心灵的深度洗礼。
评分《夏日二月》这本书简直是我的年度惊喜!它带着一种奇特的魔力,让我仿佛置身于一个既熟悉又陌生的世界。作者的笔触细腻得像是情人耳边的私语,每一个场景的描绘都充满了画面感,让人忍不住想伸手去触摸文字中描绘的那些光影和气味。我尤其欣赏作者处理人物情感的方式,那种内敛却又汹涌澎湃的爱与失落,没有一句直白的宣泄,却能让读者在字里行间感受到角色内心翻江倒海的情绪波动。故事的节奏把握得非常精准,该舒缓时如同一杯陈年的红酒,缓缓释放出醇厚的香气;该紧张时又像骤然拉紧的琴弦,让人屏息凝神,生怕错过任何一个细节。整本书读下来,最大的感受就是一种深刻的共鸣,它探讨的主题——关于时间、记忆与自我救赎——是如此普世,却又被作者赋予了全新的生命力。我感觉自己跟随主角一起经历了漫长的挣扎与最终的释然,这种沉浸式的阅读体验,实在难得。它不是那种读完就忘的流水账,而是会像一块石头投进平静的心湖,留下久久不散的涟漪。我强烈推荐给所有追求深度阅读体验的同好们,这本书绝对值得你投入时间和情感去细细品味。
评分读完这本小说,我最大的冲动就是想立刻把它推荐给所有我认识的、稍微对文学有点品味的朋友。这本书的叙事结构简直是一个精妙的迷宫,作者像一个高明的建筑师,将不同时空的故事线巧妙地编织在一起,每一次的跳转都带着清晰的逻辑和强烈的目的性,绝非为了炫技而进行的故弄玄虚。它要求读者全程保持高度的专注力,但这种“要求”带来的回报是巨大的——当那些看似分散的线索在某个意想不到的转折点汇聚时,那种豁然开朗的震撼感,是速食文学永远无法给予的。我特别喜欢作者对环境的描摹,那种带有强烈地域色彩的描述,不仅仅是背景板,它们本身就是角色的延伸,是推动情节发展的无形力量。例如,书中对某个特定季节的潮湿空气和光线的捕捉,细致到让人仿佛能闻到空气中泥土翻新的味道。而且,这本书的语言风格是如此的沉稳与老练,句子结构复杂却又流畅自如,充满了古典的韵律感,读起来简直是一种听觉上的享受。它迫使我放慢语速,去品味每一个形容词和每一个动词的选择,这对于长期被碎片化信息轰炸的我们来说,无疑是一剂清醒剂。
评分坦白说,一开始翻开这本书,我还有点担心它会是那种故作高深的“文青读物”,但很快我就发现我完全错了。这本书的魅力在于它对“人”的刻画,那种直击灵魂深处的真实感。角色们不是扁平的标签,他们复杂、矛盾、充满缺陷,就像我们身边的每一个人一样,做着既英勇又愚蠢的决定。我尤其被主角在面对重大抉择时的那种内心拉扯所吸引,作者没有给她一个完美的出口,而是让她在灰色的地带挣扎,这种处理方式显得无比尊重读者的智商和情感接受能力。这本书的高潮部分,并非是那种爆炸性的戏剧冲突,而是一种内在的、缓慢累积的能量释放,它更像是一场精心准备的交响乐的尾声,所有乐器在最后以最和谐却又最强大的力度结束,余音绕梁,久久不散。我很少读到一部作品能够如此温柔地对待“失败”和“遗憾”,它没有试图去美化伤痛,而是将它们视为生命构成中不可或缺的一部分。读完后,我心中的愁绪并未完全散去,但它们似乎被重新安置在了更合适的位置,有了一种被理解的释然。
评分从纯粹的故事性角度来看,《夏日二月》绝对是一部引人入胜的作品。它的情节推进像是一部设计精良的悬疑片,但“谜团”的揭开却不是为了提供一个简单的答案,而是为了引出更深层次的哲学思考。作者在叙事中埋藏了大量的伏笔和象征符号,这使得重读成为一种全新的体验。第一次读,你被故事的表面张力所吸引;而第二次重温,你会惊讶于那些在初读时被忽略的微小细节是如何精确地预示了后来的走向。这种精密的布局,不得不让人对作者的才华肃然起敬。它成功地平衡了“情节性”与“文学性”之间的鸿沟,既能满足那些喜爱完整故事链的读者,也能让追求文字艺术的评论家找到可供深入分析的基石。我特别赞赏作者在处理时间流逝感上的技巧,那种“昨日的影子如何影响今日的抉择”的描绘,让人深刻体会到生命的连续性和不可逆性。这本书不仅仅是阅读,它更像是一次智力上的探险,一次对叙事艺术的深度体验。
评分It is an absorbing and exquisite story that i almost hardly stop reading. Quite unbelievable, as a romantic story, uh? It's beautiful, but such a tragedy. The way of flashbacks makes me read the second half of the story in sorrow. I would say Dan Stevens may be the perfect one for the character of Gilbert as i imagine.
评分Very beautifully written, heart breaking, with certain details subtly handled. I fell in love with Gilbert halfway through the book. Can't wait to see Dan and the stunning seaview at Cornwall.
