From the author of the New York Times Notable Book Tipping the Velvet and the award-winning Affinity: a spellbinding, twisting tale of a great swindle, of fortunes and hearts won and lost, set in Victorian London among a family of thieves.
Sue Trinder is an orphan, left as an infant in the care of Mrs. Sucksby, a "baby farmer," who raised her with unusual tenderness, as if Sue were her own. Mrs. Sucksby's household, with its fussy babies calmed with doses of gin, also hosts a transient family of petty thieves-fingersmiths-for whom this house in the heart of a mean London slum is home.
One day, the most beloved thief of all arrives-Gentleman, a somewhat elegant con man, who carries with him an enticing proposition for Sue: If she wins a position as the maid to Maud Lilly, a naïve gentlewoman, and aids Gentleman in her seduction, then they will all share in Maud's vast inheritance. Once the inheritance is secured, Maud will be left to live out her days in a mental hospital. With dreams of paying back the kindness of her adopted family, Sue agrees to the plan. Once in, however, Sue begins to pity her helpless mark and care for Maud Lilly in unexpected ways. . . . But no one and nothing is as it seems in this > Dickensian novel of thrills and surprises.
The New York Times Book Review has called Sarah Waters a writer of "consummate skill" and The Seattle Times has praised her work as "gripping, astute fiction that feeds the mind and the senses." Fingersmith marks a major leap forward in this young and brilliant career.
SPOILER ALERT! What do you know about your mother. ---The knowledge of knowing and Motherhood in Fingersmith Fingersmith begins with a confusing confession of identity- ‘My name, in those days, was Susan Trinder’, followed by the still confusing discuss...
評分我抓起小说就读,不知道作者萨拉·沃特斯(Sarah Waters)是英国最瞩目的现代作家,对《荆棘之城》(Fingersmith)中1861年英国伦敦阴暗潮湿,烟囱吐着黄烟,小商贩在泥地叫卖,喧哗嘈杂而又更深雾重的景色还以为出自狄更斯这样的古典作家手笔呢。 故事情节十分有趣儿:伦敦兰...
評分这一次,我没有晕倒。我凝视着萨克比太太的脸,第一次发现我们原来长得如此相似。 我仿佛突然明白了,长久以来,我身上那些邪恶的品行似乎由此找到了真正的原因:我的母亲,既不是疯了的千金小姐,也不是因为杀人而被绞死的贼,她是一个狡猾无情的骗子。如果可以选择,我宁愿我...
評分萨拉·沃特斯 以下内容有剧情泄露,可能影响观看——这篇文章的主要内容,包含《荆棘之城》的重要情节。 通常,当我被问及《荆棘之城》的创作时,我会说,由于没能把各种有趣的十九世纪珍闻塞进我的前两部小说,所以用这本书来扫尾。我只是半开玩笑。写作《轻舔丝绒》给了我一...
評分我想我是愈来愈痴迷于这样一种讲故事的手法了:两个主角,一条时间线,不同角度看到的事实所理解的真相以及交错着以第一人称娓娓道来的心路历程。因了此,我享受着上帝式俯瞰众生的视角,此在与他在兼得,多维度多线程从不同透视镜看同一事物,咀嚼着同一时刻酿造于不同人心的...
雖然結局有點匆忙 但真是好書一部!!
评分girls love easily~
评分一本書讀半年,破紀錄瞭好嗎!
评分要有多愛纔會原諒彼此,要有多愛纔要走遍世界也要找到你。儘管電影已經很棒瞭,但原著纔是真正掀開人物靈魂的手。"But then, I grew still. I was thinking of Maud, starting up with the knife. I was thinking of Maud, letting me hate her. I was thinking of Maud, making me think she'd hurt me, to save me knowing who had hurt me most..."
评分More than Dickens in lesbian form. 我讀到勃朗特姐妹,甚至陀思妥耶夫斯基的風格。第一部分尾聲開始驚喜;第二部分是非常細膩、深刻的人物側寫;而第三部分,尤其是純以聲音和想象編織的絞刑一段,文學性之強令我徹底拜服在作者腳下。傑作!
