Moving back through the 1940s, through air raids, blacked out streets, illicit liaisons, sexual adventure, to end with its beginning in 1941, The Night Watch is the work of a truly brilliant and compelling storyteller.
This is the story of four Londoners - three women and a young man with a past, drawn with absolute truth and intimacy. Kay, who drove an ambulance during the war and lived life at full throttle, now dresses in mannish clothes and wanders the streets with a restless hunger, searching . . . Helen, clever, sweet, much-loved, harbours a painful secret . . . Viv, glamour girl, is stubbornly, even foolishly loyal, to her soldier lover . . . Duncan, an apparent innocent, has had his own demons to fight during the war. Their lives, and their secrets connect in sometimes startling ways. War leads to strange alliances...
Tender, tragic and beautifully poignant, set against the backdrop of feats of heroism both epic and ordinary, here is a novel of relationships that offers up subtle surprises and twists. The Night Watch is thrilling. A towering achievement.

评分《守夜》曾被改编为不错的舞台剧,以及一部差强人意的电视电影。片中,演员顶着尴尬的假发,在片场感要溢出镜框的“断壁残垣”中艰难行走。成片效果不佳,但从外型与气质上来看,卡司本身倒还都令人满意。2019年回头看这部片子,很难不被饰演美人薇芙的Jodie Whittaker吸引。这...
评分 评分莎拉•沃特斯是一位多少带有异色的纯文学作家。她的前三部小说都以十九世纪为背景,写的是重重禁锢之下的女人之间的爱情。沃特斯善于在故事中混合阴谋与爱情,手法传统,包袱层叠,是爱情小说,更是侦探佳作。前三部作品均被搬上BBC的剧集或大银幕,沃特斯也因此格外受人...
