From the internationally acclaimed, best-selling author of The English Patient: a mesmerizing new novel that tells a dramatic story set in the decade after World War II through the lives of a small group of unexpected characters and two teenagers whose lives are indelibly shaped by their unwitting involvement.
In a narrative as beguiling and mysterious as memory itself--shadowed and luminous at once--we read the story of fourteen-year-old Nathaniel, and his older sister, Rachel. In 1945, just after World War II, they stay behind in London when their parents move to Singapore, leaving them in the care of a mysterious figure named The Moth. They suspect he might be a criminal, and they grow both more convinced and less concerned as they come to know his eccentric crew of friends: men and women joined by a shared history of unspecified service during the war, all of whom seem, in some way, determined now to protect, and educate (in rather unusual ways) Rachel and Nathaniel. But are they really what and who they claim to be? And what does it mean when the siblings' mother returns after months of silence without their father, explaining nothing, excusing nothing? A dozen years later, Nathaniel begins to uncover all that he didn't know and understand in that time, and it is this journey--through facts, recollection, and imagination--that he narrates in this masterwork from one of the great writers of our time.

太喜欢Olive了,在二战和冷战接连不断的创伤中,她就是自由和鲜活的化身,极尽洒脱~~真正的自由,是把自己还给自己。

读翁达杰的文字需要耐心和智慧,看透碎片式叙述之后藏着的那些联系,如同最后发现的Agnes缝好挂在墙上的毯子,full of codes and unspoken agonies. 虽然跟英国病人的宏大比,这本关于冷战的谍战小说有些重复,但有那么几句话,让人心头一紧。 We change, we evolve.

We are what we are for all our sufferings and mistakes in the past. 结尾那段宛若对这本小说呓语般叙述方式的反映:We order our lives with barely held stories. As if we have been lost in a confusing landscape. (展开)

又被捧得那么高?冲着作者的名气,逼着自己看完1/3,实在写的一般。形散不要紧,神也散。想要说明什么呢?通过Nathan的眼睛在观察出现在他身边的一些人物,so what?一点也没意思。如果要这样看完80%,再憋个大招的话,实在憋不住。弃了。
