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.
Winner of the 2013 Man Booker Prize

读后感
今年年头的时候，南半球的夏天，我和好友S去新西兰游玩，因为不是自驾，全程几乎都是坐大巴。新西兰的大巴司机挺有意思，路上会带上麦克风和旅客聊风景。然后某一程上，司机大叔介绍了一本小说，说这本小说讲新西兰淘金时代的故事，好评如潮，他的原话是’international sensat...

“Love cannot be reduced to a catalogue of reasons why, and a catalogue of reasons cannot be put together into love.”
评分布克奖就是个坑
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。
评分好了，我去看星盘了
评分“Love cannot be reduced to a catalogue of reasons why, and a catalogue of reasons cannot be put together into love.”
