Kim Edwardsas stunning family drama evokes the spirit of Sue Miller and Alice Sebold, articulating every motheras silent fear: what would happen if you lost your child and she grew up without you? In 1964, when a blizzard forces Dr. David Henry to deliver his own twins, he immediately recognizes that one of them has Down Syndrome and makes a split-second decision that will haunt all their lives forever. He asks his nurse to take the baby away to an institution and to keep her birth a secret. Instead, she disappears into another city to raise the child as her own.

《不存在的女儿》看完已多时,当这本书在豆瓣大热时我不想多说什么。不想成为异己,去和追捧着较劲。当最初的热闹过后,在这夏日的晚上,静静的写下自己的读后感。 我非常同情男主人翁戴维,虽然悲剧是他一手造成的。我相信他在万难中决定送掉患唐氏综合症的菲比是出于...
評分小说里的这个秘密,成了一个预设的情节,似乎大家必须都如此忧郁。我看不太懂作者最终要说明什么。因为我觉得这个预设不是那么有说服力,因此随之而发生的一切也就显得有些莫名其妙。但是能体会到妻子那种力图冲破夫妻关系的隔阂,摆脱沉郁的心情。看完之后,我只想把书中的一...
評分村上春树说,小说家就是职业的说谎家,只是小说家能够把真相带到新的地方并赋予它新的光彩。看完《不存在的女儿》才理解这句话。我总是没有耐心去看虚构的东西,但封面上那个白色的蕾丝小衫柔弱而静谧,让人忍不住去抚一抚。一个深夜里终于把书翻到末尾,一些小小的总结式的高...
評分 評分有个故事说,有个人挖了一个洞,然后说出了一个秘密,日后,这个地方长出了一棵大树,只要摘下一片叶子吹,它就会发出声音 -- - - - - “国王长着驴耳朵”。 呃- - - ,好吧,我们要讲的不是这个故事。 如果我们种的是一颗向日葵种子,那我们收获的,应该是金灿灿的阳光,以及...
終於在地鐵上把它看完瞭
评分細節心理描寫很細膩。語言不錯!
评分寫的很細膩,25年裏,兩個傢庭,6個人,各自細微的心理變化都刻畫的很動人。——活在過去的恐懼裏,害怕過去的災難重演,反而促成瞭新的輪迴。命運不需要懼怕,麵對即可,逃避它,最終它還是會找迴來,以奇怪而無奈的姿態。
评分不知道為什麽,就是買瞭。
评分存這個吧。非整個英文的腦子不正常
