It tells the story of Charles Ryder's infatuation with the Marchmains and the rapidly disappearing world of privilege they inhabit.

一本能让本来以为绝不会对宗教情感有直接体会的我一下子get到天主教那种悲哀的幸福的小说。 非常流畅,丰富,百转千回,能找出一大堆“线索”,围绕着它们你可以在书里各种地方印证呼应,读这书就像一把小锤把一根钉子一下下嵌进木头里,简直不可抵抗地被卷入一种心情。有种这门课既然读到了这一本,其他几本就算都不好看也可以原谅的幸福感🥹

文笔好 但可能就是因为太知道这个环境 觉得这些人都好烦… 次要人物比主要人物好 比如Collins 然后就是Jeremy Irons读得太好了…

一個關於救贖,或是說尋找自洽之路(?)的故事。作者的文筆很好,並且很精準,尤其在描寫情感方面。不是很喜歡幾個主角。
