Reflective mediation of the flow and rhythms of nature. Smooth narrative, poetic and lyrical writing. A kind of recalibration between people and the village with a focus on what actually happens in a community and nature. This is a richly detailed and observational novel rooted the circle of life death and nature. To feel, to read, to touch.
20170728M. R4 abridged. "The world didn't always sound right when it was first explained." "a feeling of life being on hold" Her name was Becca or Becky or Bex*N 🙄 選錯genre了吧直接去寫nursery rhyme好不好 #非我杯茶
The recurring seasonal events and the shadow of the missing girl set up as the background through which characters move and grow, and come into their full shape - fireworks in the valley, clocks move forward, bats hibernating, cricket matches, foxes in the beech wood. The evolving lives of characters pitted against a gentle, seasonal rhythm.

书里有个画面:采石场爆破作业当天,鸣笛后家家关窗闭户,女人抱着大束花行经教堂,被吟唱颂歌的声音吸引,空气中尘埃漂浮,她听得入了迷……以一个典型悬疑小说的通俗开场,作家的落笔处是逝水流年、生活中的点滴;虽遗憾最后一口气没能提起来(但或许这才是最适合本书的形式),这依然是今年我最喜欢的小说作品之一。

把每个人的故事串起来想想还是很有意思的。最有印象的是 Ruth/Martin/Susanna这对lgbt,Cathy/Richard/Mr Wilson,Jones 到底有没有收藏照片,以及几个青少年的故事。全书高频词:thick 。 _(:з」∠)_

"All was calm. All was bright." 慢生活,慢文学。平淡隽永的日常,大自然的永恒节奏,小村生活的庸常与诗性。(广图065)

原本以为是悬疑,结果是小镇人生故事,读起来有点悲伤
