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).

具體描述

讀後感

評分

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...  

評分

近几年的布克奖屡屡出现“大热倒灶”,但最极端的例子发生在2006年。当时,所有的西方媒体都把赌注押在萨拉·沃特斯的《守夜》上,以至于上海本地的某报纸为了抢发消息,未经证实就把“《守夜》摘得布克桂冠”的新闻上了版——网上至今可以看到这条假新闻的链接,立此,足可...  

評分

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, ...  

評分

读《荆棘之城》到最后,暗暗责怪作者为什么到高潮时便戛然而止。看了《守夜》,突然有点明白了。书里的海伦总让我觉得是二十世纪版的莫德,不仅因为作者似乎有意无意用一些细节将两者联系起来,更多的是海伦的内心世界。海伦出身工人阶层,在1941年遇见上层社会的凯,凯,高手...  

評分

凯,身份不明的退役人员,远看还是个俊美的Tomboy,可怜华发生。时间停滞在她身上,投下浓黑沉郁的影子。你仿佛都能看见波澜壮阔的故事正藏在影子的缝隙里,正在缓慢展开,但是,咔,匣子关上了。 接着,作为凯的观看者,邓肯出场了。自闭又羸弱的男孩,蜡烛厂工人,刑满释放...

倒敘的三段式,47年、44年、41年。每一段都是草蛇灰綫、點到即止。最後的最後,如何開始的反倒不重要瞭。
