Memories define us. So what if you lost yours every time you went to sleep? Welcome to Christine’s life.
Christine wakes up every morning in an unfamiliar bed with an unfamiliar man. She looks in the mirror and sees an unfamiliar, middle- aged face. And every morning, the man she has woken up with must explain that he is Ben, he is her husband, she is forty-seven years old, and a terrible accident two decades earlier decimated her ability to form new memories.
But it’s the phone call from a Dr. Nash, a neurologist who claims to be working with Christine without her husband’s knowledge, that directs her to her journal, hidden in the back of her closet. For the past few weeks, Christine has been recording her daily activities—tearful mornings with Ben, sessions with Dr. Nash, flashes of scenes from her former life—and rereading past entries, relearning the facts of her life as retold by the husband she is completely dependent upon. As the entries build up, Christine asks many questions. What was life like before the accident? Why did she and Ben never have a child? What has happened to Christine’s best friend? And what exactly was the horrific accident that caused such a profound loss of memory?
Every day, Christine must begin again the reconstruction of her past. And the closer she gets to the truth, the more un- believable it seems.
Before I Go to Sleep is the astonishing, haunting debut novel from newcomer S J Watson. Likened to a literary mash-up of Memento, Inception and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Before I Go to Sleep will touch everyone who reads it.
《别相信任何人》是部很好读的小说。这“好读”是指语言的流畅与情节安排的悬念迭起。主人公克丽丝汀是个罹患短期记忆丧失症的四十多岁妇人,每一天对她来说都是艰难的噩耗日:一个陌生男人宣称自己为她的丈夫本,并告诉她20多年前遭遇车祸丧失短期记忆。偶尔的日子里她会想起...
评分书封皮上有一只恐慌地睁大的眼睛,绝似惊悚片海报,很衬这个直白的书名。拿到这本书后,拆开包装纸、站在书桌前读,读到将近一百页时接电话,奉旨出门陪人吃饭,临走前把书塞进书包。青烟缭绕的烤肉店,我在角落座位坐下,在吃烤培根/烤牛柳/沙拉/蛋糕的过程中,我隔一会儿就催...
评分 评分 评分在刚开始看这本说前我听到过两种截然不同的评价,一个是weibo上一个白富美的强烈推荐一个是我10A香港同事的撇撇嘴(其实有点智商的人都应该能猜到了。。。) 但是强迫症如我(开始了什么就一定要做完)还是耐着性子读完了。。。。毕了,真就是深深的倦怠感啊。。。。。老天,...
毫无悬念,比较无聊
评分打發時間還不錯
评分看这书时我期待的是主人公搞不清楚哪里是现实哪里是想象,因为对生活的记忆全来自自己的日记,最后发现一切不过是平淡生活中臆构的冒险。结果搞了半天完全就是个庸俗不堪的悬疑小说。
评分SO?
评分how can you wake up if you aren't in the nightmare
