![Her Fearful Symmetry [Large Print]](https://doubookpic.tinynews.org/cc6b2a843ff29ed24407e5797b87b7db8a1130aac34302470afd4edd62e4a82e/s4321726.jpg)
Niffenegger follows up her spectacular The Time Traveler's Wife with a beautifully written if incoherent ghost story. When Elspeth Noblin dies, she leaves everything to the 20-year-old American twin daughters of her own long-estranged twin, Edie. Valentina and Julia, as enmeshed as Elspeth and Edie once were, move into Elspeth's London flat bordering Highgate Cemetery in a building occupied by Elspeth's lover, Robert, and the novel's most interesting character, Martin, whose wife is long suffering due to his crushing and beautifully portrayed OCD. The girls are pallid and incurious; they wander around London and spend time with Robert and Martin and Elspeth's ghost. Valentina's developing relationship with Robert arouses mild jealousy, and when Valentina pursues her interest in fashion design, Julia disapproves, which leads Valentina and Elspeth to concoct an extreme plan to allow Valentina to lead her own life. The plan, unsurprisingly, goes awry, followed by weakly foreshadowed and confusing twists that take the plot from dull to silly. While Niffenegger's gifted prose and past success will garner readers, the story is a disappointment.

评分开始看这本书之前，对情节基本没有了解，看到鬼魂出现，明白是个现代鬼故事，这才注意到书的封面和封底已经提供了线索。封面照片的背景某个墓地的地下通道口，一对看上去似乎才十多岁的双胞胎，金发、大眼、从帽子到皮靴一身的白色。在封底上，还是一模一样的背景，但是这对双...
