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).

具体描述

读后感

评分

人生只得初相遇 ——读沃特斯的《守夜》 《守夜》是一部呼唤读者耐心的小说。全书三部分,以年代分,1947,1944和1941年,分别是战后,战时和战前。作者以全倒叙的手法,从一开始就把读者抛入了茫然的境地。何处?何人?何事?那些人物突然走到你面前,各自携带他们的生活,...

在萨拉沃特斯最负盛名的作品《荆棘之城》中,苏把莫德唤作珍珠,“你这颗珍珠,你是颗令人怜爱的珍珠。”无独有偶,在《守夜》中,凯在战时花了十英镑给海伦买了一套珍珠色的缎子睡衣,她把海伦的脸捧在手心里,心中赞叹:如此光洁的脸,就像一颗珍珠。这才醍醐灌顶,原来被比...

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...

在第418页倒数第二段和最后一段之间: (此为倒数第二段)They held each other's gaze, in silence; then moved together and kissed. Helen was still not quite used to the difference between Julia's kisses, and Kay's-to the relative strangeness of Julia's mouth, ...  

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,...

比finger smith 还要含蓄...抑或称之为压抑

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

can't grade a foreign novel.
