The Girls 在線電子書 著者簡介

Lori Lansens was born and raised in Chatham, Ontario, a small Canadian town with a remarkable history and a collection of eccentric characters, which became the setting for her first two bestselling novels. Living with her family in southern California now, she could not resist the pull of her fictitious 'Baldoon County' when she set out to write The Wife's Tale. She took the journey, along with her main character, from Canada to the Pacific Coast of America, where she enjoys the sunshine, and has learned a thing or two about transformation.

The Girls 在線電子書 圖書描述

In Lori Lansens' astonishing second novel, readers come to know and love two of the most remarkable characters in Canadian fiction. Rose and Ruby are twenty-nine-year-old conjoined twins.

Born during a tornado to a shocked teenaged mother in the hospital at Leaford, Ontario, they are raised by the nurse who helped usher them into the world. Aunt Lovey and her husband, Uncle Stash,

are middle-aged and with no children of their own. They relocate from the town to the drafty old farmhouse in the country that has been in Lovey's family for generations.

Joined to Ruby at the head, Rose's face is pulled to one side, but she has full use of her limbs. Ruby has a beautiful face, but her body is tiny and she is unable to walk.

She rests her legs on her sister's hip, rather like a small child or a doll.

In spite of their situation, the girls lead surprisingly separate lives. Rose is bookish and a baseball fan.

Ruby is fond of trash TV and has a passion for local history.

Rose has always wanted to be a writer, and as the novel opens, she begins to pen her autobiography.

Here is how she begins:

I have never looked into my sister's eyes. I have never bathed alone. I have never stood in the grass at night and raised my arms to a beguiling moon.

I've never used an airplane bathroom. Or worn a hat. Or been kissed like that. I've never driven a car. Or slept through the night. Never a private talk. Or solo walk. I've never climbed a tree.

Or faded into a crowd. So many things I've never done, but oh, how I've been loved. And, if such things were to be, I'd live a thousand lives as me, to be lovedso exponentially.

Ruby, with her marvellous characteristic logic, points out that Rose's autobiography will have to be Ruby's as well — and how can she trust Rose to represent her story accurately?

Soon, Ruby decides to chime in with chapters of her own.

The novel begins with Rose, but eventually moves to Ruby's point of view and then switches back and forth.

Because the girls face in slightly different directions, neither can see what the other is writing, and they don't tell each other either. The reader is treated to sometimes overlapping

stories told in two wonderfully distinct styles. Rose is given to introspection and secrecy. Ruby's style is "tell-all" — frank and decidedly sweet.

We learn of their early years as the town "freaks" and of Lovey's and Stash's determination to give them as normal an upbringing as possible.

But when we meet them, both Lovey and Stash are dead, the girls have moved back into town, and they've received some ominous news.

They are on the verge of becoming the oldest surviving craniopagus (joined at the head) twins in history, but the question of whether they'll live to celebrate their thirtieth

birthday is suddenly impossible to answer.

In Rose and Ruby, Lori Lansens has created two precious characters, each distinct and loveable in their very different ways,

and has given them a world in Leaford that rings absolutely true. The girls are unforgettable. The Girls is nothing short of a tour de force.

The Girls 在線電子書 讀後感

評分

想到《那两个女孩》这本书,我常会想起一件很妙的事,那就是,身边听我说过《那两个女孩》故事的人,都会问我:这是真人真事吗? 小说与真实的边界,到底在哪里? 描写姐妹情感、女性成长和家庭关系的小说已经太多,现在市面上也不乏直接以姐妹为主角的畅销书,为什么还要再...

我本来是因为好看的封面才把手伸向这本书的。 外国人有度假带一本厚小说的习惯,我本身却不是小说的偏好者,头骨相连的双胞胎姐妹让我第一个想到马戏团里被围观的异类,我开始担心阅读经验会像早餐吃错了东西那样带来一整天的不适。 我当然错了。 用交替叙述口...

評分

在这个煽情成为消费品的年代,做读者的有时难免自我设防。就好比在阅读罗莉・兰森的《那两个女孩》之前,我已经听说这部小说讲的是一对连体双胞胎姐妹。心理建设在翻开书页之前自动完成了:也许是个悲剧,也许会让人哭。 所以读了十几页之后便有种坐过山车的感觉,...
