A novel of relationships set in 1940s London that brims with vivid historical detail, thrilling coincidences, and psychological complexity, by the author of the Booker Prize finalist Fingersmith.
Sarah Waters, whose works set in Victorian England have awards and acclaim and have reinvigorated the genres of both historical and lesbian fiction, returns with novel that marks a departure from nineteenth century and a spectacular leap forward in the career of this masterful storyteller.
Moving back through the 1940s, through air raids, blacked-out streets, illicit liasons, and sexual adventure, to end with its beginning in 1941, The Night Watch tells the story of Londoners: three women and a young man with a past-whose lives, and those of their friends and lovers, connect in ways that are surprising not always known to them. In wartime London, the women work-as ambulance drivers, ministry clerks, and building inspectors. There are feats of heroism, epic and quotidian, and tragedies both enormous and personal, but the emotional interiors of her characters that Waters captures with absolute and intimacy.
Waters describes with perfect knowingness the taut composure of a rescue worker in the aftermath of a bombing, the idle longing of a young woman her soldier lover, the peculiar thrill convict watching the sky ignite through the bars on his window, the hunger a woman stalking the streets for encounter, and the panic of another who sees her love affair coming end. At the same time, Waters is absolute control of a narrative that offers up subtle surprises and exquisite twists, even as it depicts the impact grand historical event on individual lives.
Tender, tragic, and beautifully poignant, The Night Watch is a towering achievement that confirms its author as "one of the best storytellers alive today" (Independent on Sunday).
究竟什么才是开始?而什么又是结束?一开始便注定了是一场结局的故事,却在结束之时给了我们初遇的悸动。 穿过战火纷飞,回到最初相遇 四段感情故事在二战的背景下,显得更加荡气回肠,虽然故事始终没有离开过伦敦这个大环境,却拥有着一种恢弘的格局,使其内在情感得到升华。...
评分如果说荆棘之城和轻舔丝绒是口味虾和香辣蟹的话,守夜就是三鲜火锅,内容丰富又口味清淡。我想应该很多人读的时候会觉得它又杂乱又没有主次又不刺激。但是就是因为这样,让它在另外两本小说的光环下还能显得独特。 这是一本没有主角的小说,sw分给每种感情的笔墨...
评分最近在看《守夜》,perfect,比想象的复杂。 在书堆了一眼把它叨出来了,因为看到了"萨拉·沃特斯"。干净,没书封没序没提要没作者译者介绍,开板献给某某,再一页正文,我闻到讽刺的味道。二战和爱情,啧啧。战争是不可追忆的战争,爱情是无法言语的爱情。印象最深那个情节,...
评分国家没有灭亡,山河有待重整,1947年,战争完结,但万众期待的美丽新世界没有来临。《守夜》是华特斯第四本小说,离开了维多利亚时代,仍是不离不弃地关于伦敦。 战后的伦敦,凯在街头踽踽独行,一个人去影院看半场电影。海伦和维维在婚介所向战争中失去伴侣者介绍对象,朱丽亚...
评分《守夜》曾被改编为不错的舞台剧,以及一部差强人意的电视电影。片中,演员顶着尴尬的假发,在片场感要溢出镜框的“断壁残垣”中艰难行走。成片效果不佳,但从外型与气质上来看,卡司本身倒还都令人满意。2019年回头看这部片子,很难不被饰演美人薇芙的Jodie Whittaker吸引。这...
她全部的书里最喜欢的一本,莫名的喜欢战火纷飞时候的爱情
评分倒叙的三段式,47年、44年、41年。每一段都是草蛇灰线、点到即止。最后的最后,如何开始的反倒不重要了。
评分好看!虽然有好多渣男女。准备去看三部曲了虽然已经看过电影
评分倒叙的三段式,47年、44年、41年。每一段都是草蛇灰线、点到即止。最后的最后,如何开始的反倒不重要了。
