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.
如果读了这本书,你就不会想要一个这样的崭新的明天。一觉醒来,你会忘记你的昨天。至少是一个大约20多年的空档。你只记得你二十几岁以前的时光,一睁眼,你已将近老年,你47岁,皮肤开始松垂,失去你心目中那个二十几岁女郎的吸引力。你的意识懵懵懂懂,只有瞬间闪现的那些过...
評分从某种程度而言,失去记忆再去寻找的故事对当下的读者已经不再新鲜,例如美国流行小说大师陆德伦的《谍影重重》系列、又或是《记忆碎片》等作品,无一例外的使用了该主题,重复再三的桥段不免让人兴致缺缺。无巧不成书,《别相信任何人》一作也是借用了这一主题。好吧,如何让...
評分有人说记忆是活过的证据,我觉得这表述问题很大,根本就没有把严重性表达出来——记忆根本就是活着本身,我们生活中有太多自然得证的东西无需解释,但是没有记忆,根本就是什么都没有,呜呼哀哉。 所以回到本作的失忆题材,其实早就不新鲜了,电影有名噪江湖的《记忆碎片》,...
