A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK
BALTIMORE WOMAN DISAPPEARS DURING FAMILY VACATION, declares the headline. Forty-year-old Delia Grinstead is last seen strolling down the Delaware shore, wearing nothing more than a bathing suit and carrying a beach tote with five hundred dollars tucked inside. To her husband and three almost-grown children, she has vanished without trace or reason. But for Delia, who feels like a tiny gnat buzzing around her family's edges, "walking away from it all" is not a premeditated act, but an impulse that will lead her into a new, exciting, and unimagined life . . . .
"TYLER DETAILS DELIA'S ADVENTURE WITH GREAT SKILL . . . As so often in her earlier fiction--Celestial Navigation, Dinner at the Homesick Restaurant, The Accidental Tourist, and her nine other novels--[she] creates distinct characters caught in poignantly funny situations. . . .Tyler writes with a clarity that makes the commonplace seem fresh and the pathetic touching."
--The New York Times
"UTTERLY COMPELLING. . .WONDERFULLY SATISFYING. . .Ladder of Years is virtually flawless."
--Chicago Tribune
"A 'PAGE-TURNER' IN THE BEST SENSE . . . One wants to lightly caress the pages of the story because one cares for Ms. Tyler's touchingly flawed characters. . . . Both madcap and genteel, Anne Tyler knows as well as anyone that 'human beings lead many lives.' Casually, delightfully, Ladder of Years will tell you just how we humans manage this trick."
--The Baltimore Sun

坦白说,这本书一开始的铺陈稍微有点慢,我差点以为我会失去耐心。然而,一旦故事的主线完全展开,那种被精心编织的命运之网就开始展现其强大的引力。作者对于社会背景和时代变迁的观察极其敏锐,它巧妙地将宏大的历史背景融入到个体的悲欢离合之中,使得角色的困境更具有普遍性和厚重感。我尤其赞赏作者在处理道德困境时的那种中立和深刻,没有简单地将人物标签化为“好人”或“坏人”,而是展示了人性的复杂性与灰色地带。每一次关键冲突的爆发,都充满了宿命般的张力,让人既紧张又隐隐感到一种必然性。这让我联想到那些真正伟大的文学作品,它们从不提供简单的答案,而是提出更深刻的问题。读完后,那种对于人性和社会结构的反思,比单纯的娱乐阅读要丰富得多,是一次思想上的洗礼。
评分这本书的独特之处在于它对“失去”这一主题的探讨,达到了一个令人心碎又充满力量的高度。它探讨的不是单一的丧失,而是从童年的纯真到成熟后的幻灭,再到最终的释然,这是一个完整的循环。作者处理失去的方式非常成熟,没有陷入无谓的伤感或煽情,而是展示了“带着伤口前行”的勇气。我仿佛能听见那些角色在寂静的夜晚,与过去的自己进行无声的对话。书中的象征手法运用得非常高明,那些重复出现的意象,像是暗流涌动的水脉,最终汇聚成磅礴的情感洪流。我个人认为,这本书非常适合那些正在经历人生低谷,或者对自我价值感到迷惘的读者,它不会给你空洞的安慰,而是提供了一种坚韧的陪伴感,让你知道,所有经历过的磨砺,终将成为你脚下的基石。
评分如果要用一个词来形容阅读这本书的感受,那一定是“沉浸”。这本书的构建了一个极其逼真且富有层次感的微观世界,让你仿佛忘记了自己身处何方。作者在构建这个世界时,对细节的把控达到了近乎偏执的程度,无论是建筑的风格、特定时代的流行文化,还是不同地域人物的口音习惯,都处理得毫不含糊,这极大地增强了故事的可信度。更难得的是,即便背景设定如此扎实,故事依然紧紧围绕着普世的情感主题——爱、背叛、救赎——展开。它成功地做到了既有史诗般的广度,又不失个体情感的深度。我甚至在翻阅最后几页时,产生了一种强烈的惜别之情,仿佛要与书中那些已经无比熟悉的人物正式告别。这本书不仅是阅读,更是一场完整的、值得细细品味的生命体验。
评分这本书简直是一场情感的过山车,读起来让人完全停不下来。作者对于人物内心世界的刻画细腻入微,你仿佛能亲身感受到他们每一个选择背后的挣扎与纠结。故事的节奏把握得恰到好处,时而如春日和风般轻柔舒缓,描绘那些日常生活中不经意流淌的温情;时而又像夏日雷暴般猛烈冲击,将那些深藏的秘密和痛苦瞬间爆发出来。尤其是主角在面对重大人生转折时的那种迷茫与坚定,非常真实,让人忍不住在心中为他们加油打气。我特别欣赏作者对于时间流逝的独特理解,它不是一个简单的线性概念,而是在角色记忆和现实交织中不断重塑的维度。读完后,那种久久不能散去的余韵,让人开始重新审视自己过去走过的每一步路,那些看似微不足道的瞬间,其实都塑造了今天的自己。它不仅仅是一个故事,更像是一面镜子,映照出我们每个人内心深处最柔软也最坚硬的部分。这种深刻的代入感和强烈的共鸣,是很多畅销小说难以企及的深度。
评分这部作品的叙事结构非常精巧,它采用了多线并行的叙事手法,但处理得极其流畅自然,没有丝毫的拖沓或混乱。每一次视角和时间点的切换,都像是精准地投射到故事版图上一个新的关键点,让读者在拼凑完整画面时获得极大的满足感。语言风格上,我感受到了强烈的文学质感,词藻的选择考究,没有华丽辞藻的堆砌,但每一个词语都像是经过千锤百炼,恰如其分地烘托出当时的氛围。尤其是一些环境描写,简直如同油画般生动,那种光影和气味仿佛都能透过纸页扑面而来。对于人物关系的处理,更是妙到毫巅,那些未说出口的爱意、那些心照不宣的理解,都通过微妙的动作和眼神交流展现出来,留下了巨大的想象空间,让读者可以自行填补那些含蓄的情感层次。它要求读者投入相当的专注力,但回报的绝对是顶级的阅读体验,绝对值得反复玩味。
评分Anne Tyler的小说和悬疑没有半点关系,但结局还挺让我意外的。 平平淡淡的小故事,适合安扶烦躁的情绪。。
