When Barry Fairbrother dies in his early forties, the town of Pagford is left in shock. Pagford is, seemingly, an English idyll, with a cobbled market square and an ancient abbey, but what lies behind the pretty facade is a town at war. Rich at war with poor, teenagers at war with their parents, wives at war with their husbands, teachers at war with their pupils...Pagford is not what it first seems. And the empty seat left by Barry on the parish council soon becomes the catalyst for the biggest war the town has yet seen. Who will triumph in an election fraught with passion, duplicity and unexpected revelations? A big novel about a small town, The Casual Vacancy is J.K. Rowling's first novel for adults. It is the work of a storyteller like no other.
这是一本怎样的书呢? 我说:他是一本,当你拿起来后就不愿意停下;但短暂放下后却需要更大的勇气继续阅读。 它被迫让我看到是,我最不想看到的一面。 这本罗琳的书,在豆瓣上推荐了好久,一直未下决心去看,一方面是我觉得《哈利波特》系列给我的印象太深了,我不想去改变我...
评分六月底的时候,师傅神秘兮兮地跑到我桌边,揪着耳朵问我愿不愿意去英国待两个月。听上去很诱人呢。虽然要抛夫弃女、背井离乡,可毕竟能亲眼见识一下大名鼎鼎的“日不落帝国”,也是一件令人心向往之的幸事。事实上,我也是用这同样的诱饵把研究生时的好友老丁骗入伙的。后来...
评分冷漠•忽视•伤害•报复 文:蓝文青 这是一组可以切分的镜头: 第一个:在一个阳光灿烂的日子里,正午时分,一个三岁左右没有人陪伴的孤单幼儿独自沿着河岸走,“脸上沾满了巧克力,邋里邋遢的”,途径他身边的加文“心里只想着自己碎成渣的幸福”,一丁点也没想为何这...
评分读者和书之间的关系无非两种:新欢,或是旧爱。 若你已经读过作家之前的作品,不管是一本或是多本,必定会有先入为主的感触。遣词方式、惯用的转折,更重要的是作品的内核。小说的气质复杂,恰如人的立体。当旧爱换了副面貌铺陈在眼前,你免不了细细辨认那些似曾相识...
评分不可否认,评分极低,在英美的网站上得分甚至不如《五十度灰》,只有在加拿大以及德国、意大利、西班牙等少数欧洲国家勉强拿到三星半,其余的多为三星。 罗琳的新书为什么会出现如此大的落差呢?分析起来,原因如下: (1)罗琳原本是一个畅销书作家,写的是类型小说,阅读性...
批判社会、揭露人性、记录时代,值得期待
评分我看的是中文版不是英文版
评分从儿童文学转到现实题材,罗琳首先便想到了“揭露”富裕的中产阶级社区岁月静好外表下掩藏的罪恶和冷漠;这毕竟是每一个有野心的小说家都用过的套路,想来真是讨巧。
