From the acclaimed author of The Rehearsal comes a novel about a young woman on trial for murder in nineteenth-century New Zealand.
On a blustery January day, a prostitute is arrested. In the midst of the 1866 gold rush on the coast of New Zealand, this might have gone unnoticed. But three notable events occur on that same day: a luckless drunk dies, a wealthy man vanishes, and a ship's captain of ill repute cancels all of his business and weighs anchor, as if making an escape. Anna Wetherell, the prostitute in question, is connected to all three men.
This sequence of apparently coincidental events provokes a secret council of powerful townsmen to investigate. But they are interrupted by the arrival of a stranger: young Walter Moody, who has a secret of his own...
THE LUMINARIES is an intricately crafted feat of storytelling, a mystery that reveals the ways our interconnected lives reshape our destinies.

读了前面二十页已经有种弃掉的感觉了……这絮絮叨叨却又缺乏力度的文风我也是有点撑不起

因为kindle版减价所以买下来。想去搜一下plot剧透但发现goodreads和douban都没有就作罢。看了四分之一,感觉情节进展缓慢,语言啰嗦。每个人物性格都从第三人称角度来写,在旁观中剖析,让人没有和书中人感同身受的共情感觉。有点枯燥,也许是我不太喜欢看破案小说吧

胜在严密的结构 把13个人的故事都交代得很清楚 可惜最后还是有一些坑没有填上

用占星术统筹人物际遇,结构很可爱。但正因为结构复杂、人物庞杂,作者所有的功力都用在处理清楚因果关系上了,结果是枝蔓交缠的情节交代清楚了,却没讲出更有趣的东西来。和去年得布克奖的小说一样,好读且不落俗套,但也仅止步于此,只能算是精彩的通俗小说。

是我最喜欢的格式工整天体运动融入文学,至于作品情节长度之类的,等一份中译本或者我真的无聊到愿意读完英文原著吧。
