4.5星。19世纪的新西兰淘金故事,intrigue层层展开,人物性格很合12星座,尤其我觉得其中Ah Sook感觉好中国,作为一个西方作者,实在不容易。美中不足的是有些小细节比如Anna's starving之类感觉最后也没说清楚。
评分因为kindle版减价所以买下来。想去搜一下plot剧透但发现goodreads和douban都没有就作罢。看了四分之一,感觉情节进展缓慢,语言啰嗦。每个人物性格都从第三人称角度来写,在旁观中剖析,让人没有和书中人感同身受的共情感觉。有点枯燥,也许是我不太喜欢看破案小说吧
评分这种事无巨细地描述角色性格、经历和行为动机有些让我想到《一句顶一万句》,两者因而也都必然触及了人与人之间的无法理解和难以排解的孤独。不过本书相比而言更温暖一些。 占星的术语我并不能理解深意,灵异内容也略有些frustrating,并且Anna和Crosbie的过去让我觉得有些不太能理解,但除此之外没有什么觉得不满的。 Crosbie和阿苏故事最为让我悲伤。
评分抽丝剥茧之后可能觉得故事没那么蹊跷 然而叙述的方式确实独特又吸引人
评分不错可以
Born in Canada and raised in New Zealand, Eleanor Catton, 27, completed an MA in Creative Writing at Victoria University in 2007 and won the Adam Prize in Creative Writing for her first novel, The Rehearsal, which was also long-listed for the Orange Prize and short-listed for the Dylan Thomas Prize. She studied at the Iowa Writers' Workshop as the recipient of the 2008 Glenn Schaeffer Fellowship. She lives in New Zealand.
From the acclaimed author of The Rehearsal comes a novel about a young woman on trial for murder in nineteenth-century New Zealand.
On a blustery January day, a prostitute is arrested. In the midst of the 1866 gold rush on the coast of New Zealand, this might have gone unnoticed. But three notable events occur on that same day: a luckless drunk dies, a wealthy man vanishes, and a ship's captain of ill repute cancels all of his business and weighs anchor, as if making an escape. Anna Wetherell, the prostitute in question, is connected to all three men.
This sequence of apparently coincidental events provokes a secret council of powerful townsmen to investigate. But they are interrupted by the arrival of a stranger: young Walter Moody, who has a secret of his own...
THE LUMINARIES is an intricately crafted feat of storytelling, a mystery that reveals the ways our interconnected lives reshape our destinies.

评分一本八百多页的超长篇小说,你可能需要花一周甚至更多的时间来阅读,你最想在里面获得什么?如果你费很大的劲读完了,发现这本书讲的故事概括起来一点也不惊人,人物也没有让你觉得有任何共鸣,甚至你觉得有点扁平,你会失望地丢下这本书打个差评,还是会回过头来看,到底这本...
