All my life I thought that the story was over when the hero and heroine were safely engaged - after all, what's good enough for Jane Austen ought to be good enough for anyone. But it's a lie. The story is about to begin, and every day will be a new piece of the plot. (查看原文)

I don't want to be married just to be married. I can't think of anything lonelier than spending the rest of my life with someone I can't talk to, or worse, someone I can't be silent with.

think they'll be helpful in the future.
oh, and then she says to Sid:
"Remember the night last year when you met my train to tell me my home had been bombed flat? you thought i was laughing in hysteria? i wasn't-- it was in irony-- if i'd let Rob store all my books in the basement, i'd still have them, every one."
uhh~~~ this part makes the book most like a real world life-- you sacrifice one thing to protect what you think is important to yourself, but find that the one you've chosen to leave should be the right way to.

原来书信体也可以把人物写得那么真实,把故事写得那么吸引人

The humor makes Part 1. After that it becomes somehow frivolous. Still a nice book for leisure (and some knowledge of Germen Occupation) though

本书以书信形式,从各种人物、各种角度,描述二战期间,被德军占领五年之久的英属小岛Guernsey的生活。整部小说除了试图还原从他人口中得知的伊丽莎白,似乎没有非常连贯的故事情节。开头部分,尤其令人摸不着头脑。但是,静下心来慢慢读下去,就会越来越顺,并且逐渐形成一幅“小岛·二战·印象”。通过书信的形式,感受到战时杀戮、囚禁、饥饿等等悲苦印象;同时,也领略到人与人之间的友善关爱,以及在敌我之间产生的爱... 本书以书信形式,从各种人物、各种角度,描述二战期间,被德军占领五年之久的英属小岛Guernsey的生活。整部小说除了试图还原从他人口中得知的伊丽莎白,似乎没有非常连贯的故事情节。开头部分,尤其令人摸不着头脑。但是,静下心来慢慢读下去,就会越来越顺,并且逐渐形成一幅“小岛·二战·印象”。通过书信的形式,感受到战时杀戮、囚禁、饥饿等等悲苦印象;同时,也领略到人与人之间的友善关爱,以及在敌我之间产生的爱情。 阅读过程总体还是比较平和的,甚至还有点delightful(例如,宵禁夜与饥肠辘辘的邻居们分享冒险隐藏下来,做成的roasted pig,并机智地应对徳军的查巡。) (展开)

故事的开头其实并不那么吸引人,但是这个书名真的很有吸引力,这个俱乐部里的成立故事也很惊险刺激。这本书并不只有浪漫言情,作者还在其中刻画了很多生动可爱的人物,以及对于战争和人性的讨论。最后的女主主动求婚的情节也好爱啊。

最后Isola的侦探笔记也太好笑了,但没想到误打误撞却让Juliet坚定信心seize the day。书里的人物都太可爱了!(所以王尔德那本八封关于小猫的信是真实存在的吗?
