The famous opening line of the novel warns of the bleak narrative to follow, "Neither of the Grimes sisters would have a happy life, and looking back it always seemed that the trouble began with their parents’ divorce." Emily and Sarah Grimes are sisters who share little in terms of character but much in terms of disappointment with their lives. Emily, the more intellectual and cosmopolitan of the two, seeks love in numerous disappointing affairs and short-term relationships while Sarah, the prettier and more conventional sister, marries young and bears children to an uncouth and abusive husband. Their troubled, rootless mother, Pookie, like many Yatesian matriarchs, is likely modeled on his own mother, who was nicknamed "Dookie". The novel, beginning in the 1930s when the sisters are children and ending in the 1970s with Sarah's death, primarily revolves around Emily as the book's central character, though the book employs Yates' characteristic and seamless shifts of consciousness throughout.

在去德里的飞机上一口气读完。The best novel I've read in a long long time. 惊心。两姐妹孤独自私懦弱不知道自己要什么。像你我一样。

比the heart is a lonely hunter好看,孤独得好绝望,我步入中年后会不会也这样?看得我心有戚戚。

对于非常打动人的作品,有时反而不知该说些什么,说句“我爱XXX(作者)”可能就够了。耶茨写出了女性在社会中的困境——不论她们的具体社会处境如何,所面临的也无非是相当有限的可能性:婚姻、生育、生存、两性关系。这哪里是评论者常说的“失败者”,耶茨写的明明是我们自己,是每天出现在生活中的你我她。因真实而常被我们忽略,因真实而触目惊心。

这个故事即使放到今天都不过时,特别是女性意识也依然符合当下。三位女性的一生,看到最后真的致郁。女性一定要多读书,有份稳定工作和收入,保持经济精神双独立,以及别酗酒!原本以为双女主,结果不是。但寥寥数笔刻画的中年姐姐太让人心碎了,她求助被拒而放弃的那段描写和Peter回忆她对Emily的夸赞,泪目。这本书依然可以看到Yates几部前作的影子,依旧观察敏锐,文笔细腻,具有画面感。

本来以为主题是不婚不育保平安,读完才意识到人生好像只是运气的问题,不是你受到良好教育或外形美丽就一定能被爱,只不过碰巧遇到什么样的人而已。当然也可以自己一个人过,但年轻时可能会有各式各样的dates,成为中年女性后这样的机会就越来越少了吧;如果事业上也差强人意,大概真的会非常孤独吧。讲到这里心生很多切身的恐惧。(第一次读Yates的原作,反而不如以前读他其他作品的中文版时感受到的绝望强烈。可能因为... 本来以为主题是不婚不育保平安,读完才意识到人生好像只是运气的问题,不是你受到良好教育或外形美丽就一定能被爱,只不过碰巧遇到什么样的人而已。当然也可以自己一个人过,但年轻时可能会有各式各样的dates,成为中年女性后这样的机会就越来越少了吧;如果事业上也差强人意,大概真的会非常孤独吧。讲到这里心生很多切身的恐惧。(第一次读Yates的原作,反而不如以前读他其他作品的中文版时感受到的绝望强烈。可能因为这本比较pov?
