Synopsis
Hotel du Lac tells the story of Edith Hope, who writes romance novels under a psudonym. When her life begins to resemble the plots of her own novels, however, Edith flees to Switzerland, where the quiet luxury of the Hotel du Lac promises to restore her to her senses. But instead of peace and rest, Edith finds herself sequestered at the hotel with an assortment of love’s casualties and exiles. She also attracts the attention of a worldly man determined to release her unused capacity for mischief and pleasure.

评分文/夏丽柠 读完《杜兰葛山庄》,你一定会奇怪评委们怎么可能把1984年的布克奖颁给安妮塔.布鲁克纳?这本小说格局这么小。写的是在一个瑞士的庄园式酒店里,几个女人一台戏地互相揣摩、暗藏心机的一段故事。根本就比不上1983年获奖的《迈克尔•K的生活和时代》。库切的叙事向...
评分如果是奔着1984年布克奖的光环来读此书,不好意思,您可能要失望了;如果你是一个女权主义者,可能此趟阅读也达不到您的期望,安妮塔·布鲁克纳和A.S.拜厄特一样有着学院派的背景,不过是一个笔下看似平淡如水却暗流涌动的女性小说家,她不急不缓,探寻着女性的心路历程,在探...
记得是第一个学期hotel session老师让读的,结尾很棒
评分audiobook narrated by Anna Massey. 怪不得她对每一个人物都表达得如此传神,因为她在1986年演过这部电影。从女性小说家的角度看世界果然浪漫又真实,以小见大。其中有一段Mr Neville评价 Edith现在的状态真是击中我了,结尾反而平淡。事实上,当有人能够一针见血地评价你的状态,并不代表他有多么懂你,只是因为他善于如此。女人比男人更容易被击倒的原因就是永远有人在告诉你怎么做。
评分Too many summaries, too few scenes so far,I am getting impatient.Alas, I take it all back,I am more and more drawn into it as I read on. The style is very much like that of Henry James',one of my favourite stylists.Even the sporadic use of french.
评分一个女小三,在自己婚礼当天call off了婚礼之后决定逃离一段时间,来到了一个极为清静的瑞士湖边旅店。她遇到了几位各有特色的女客人,发挥自己作家的特质,对她们评论并演绎了很多。作者行文偏好长句,尤其看英文原版的时候,一个完整的句子插入很多修饰补充成分,尽管整部小说很短,但读起来并不轻松。
