(展开全部) From the author of the New York Times Notable Book Tipping the Velvet and the award-winning Affinity: a spellbinding, twisting tale of a great swindle, of fortunes and hearts won and lost, set in Victorian London among a family of thieves.
Sue Trinder is an orphan, left as an infant in the care of Mrs. Sucksby, a "baby farmer," who raised her with unusual tenderness, as if Sue were her own. Mrs. Sucksby's household, with its fussy babies calmed with doses of gin, also hosts a transient family of petty thieves-fingersmiths-for whom this house in the heart of a mean London slum is home.
One day, the most beloved thief of all arrives-Gentleman, a somewhat elegant con man, who carries with him an enticing proposition for Sue: If she wins a position as the maid to Maud Lilly, a naïve gentlewoman, and aids Gentleman in her seduction, then they will all share in Maud's vast inheritance. Once the inheritance is secured, Maud will be left to live out her days in a mental hospital. With dreams of paying back the kindness of her adopted family, Sue agrees to the plan. Once in, however, Sue begins to pity her helpless mark and care for Maud Lilly in unexpected ways. . . . But no one and nothing is as it seems in this > Dickensian novel of thrills and surprises.
The New York Times Book Review has called Sarah Waters a writer of "consummate skill" and The Seattle Times has praised her work as "gripping, astute fiction that feeds the mind and the senses." Fingersmith marks a major leap forward in this young and brilliant career.

作者简介 · · · · · ·
英国知名同性恋女作家莎拉•沃特斯(Sarah Waters),1966年生于威尔士的彭布鲁克郡。她在肯特大学和兰凯斯特大学攻读英国文学,毕业后曾在书店和图书馆短暂工作,随后返回大学继续研究生深造,获得英国文学博士学位。她的研究领域是女同性恋和男同性恋历史小说,曾在许多刊物上发表关于性别、性和历史的文章。 在撰写博士论文时,她对19世纪的伦敦生活产生了浓厚的兴趣,并开始撰写小说。 她此前出版的三部小说《轻击天鹅绒》(Tipping the Velvet)、《亲和力》(Affinity )和《指匠情挑》(Fingersmith)一起被赞誉为维多利亚三部曲。三部作品均以维多利亚时代为背景,不仅在优雅飘渺的氛围中呈现出英国女性在世纪更迭时期探索真爱与自我认同的生命历程,而且对于当时的伦敦生活百态亦有相当深刻而翔实的描绘。
莎拉•沃特斯曾经荣获著名同性恋文学奖“石墙图书奖”(Stonewall Book Award)和“萨默塞特•毛姆男女同性恋小说奖”(Somerset Maugham Award for Lesbian and Gay Fiction)。2002年,她还因作品《 Fingersmith》(中文有译“指匠情挑”)获得英国布克奖的提名。2006年,她再次因《The Night Watch》获得布克奖提名,并被评为首届“石墙文学奖”的年度作家。

若为自由故

- 阿朗 爱情可贵金钱价高若为自由二皆可抛。李莫德就是这样想的,虽然她没有归纳总结到咱这样的理论高度。 李莫德年方十七,山谷里的野百合似的,从乡村大宅的窗户里,盼望着伦敦的春天。莫德识文断字,博览群书,还帮她舅搞目录索引,算是个小小的知识分子,但足不能出户,什么都知道,又什么都不知道。伦敦来的理查,伦敦来的苏,都让她激动。...... (7回应)2006-08-31 33/35有用来自 Virago Press2003版
局中有局的爱恨情转
-
- songsing 我想我是愈来愈痴迷于这样一种讲故事的手法了:两个主角,一条时间线,不同角度看到的事实所理解的真相以及交错着以第一人称娓娓道来的心路历程。因了此,我享受着上帝式俯瞰众生的视角,此在与他在兼得,多维度多线程从不同透视镜看同一事物,咀嚼着同一时刻酿造于不同人心的酸甜苦辣,也因此,知过去,明将来,比任何一个局中人都要更接近事实...... (1回应)2008-10-05 5/5有用来自 Virago Press2003版
一个有关Maud的夜晚

- 滕子京(夜深知雪重,时闻折竹声) Sarah Waters是研究维多利亚文学的专业人士,那是一个迷人的时代,产生了迷人的狄更斯和迷人的狄更斯小说,以及其他维多利亚文学的辉煌作品。电影中的英国人,除了穿抹布一样的衣服(say 天国王朝/魔戒),就跳跃进化到西装、手杖、高帽的派头了 淑女们的服饰更加繁复,蕾丝、荷叶边、高腰、褶皱、立领、淡熏衣草的华丽色调...... (19回应)2009-01-31 8/8有用来自 Virago Press2003版
虽然只看了一段
-
- 一眼千年(情深至此,夫复何求) 虽然只看了一小段,还是慕名看过改编后的电影才开看的。不过觉得文字的表述至少比电影里要丰富些。尤其是两个女主角内心活动的描写比较多。电影里情节安排相对缺乏过渡,跌宕起伏的太吓人了……心脏病都要看出来了,而且我完全不认同这种生搬硬套的方式,明显就是要拉拢两个女主角走到一块的嘛!!!真是幼稚!完全体会不到真实感觉,看...... (4回应)2007-10-16 1/1有用来自 Virago Press2003版
