Where the Crawdads Sing

Where the Crawdads Sing
内容简介:

For years, rumors of the "Marsh Girl" have haunted Barkley Cove, a quiet town on the North Carolina coast. So in late 1969, when handsome Chase Andrews is found dead, the locals immediately suspect Kya Clark, the so-called Marsh Girl. But Kya is not what they say. Sensitive and intelligent, she has survived for years alone in the marsh that she calls home, finding friends in the gulls and lessons in the sand. Then the time comes when she yearns to be touched and loved. When two young men from town become intrigued by her wild beauty, Kya opens herself to a new life--until the unthinkable happens.

    A lesson in what makes a best-seller: atmosphere&novelty, murder mystery for plot momentum, love&sex, plot twist, easy prose. 1st 100p promising, but characters flat (good vs bad boy), language cloying, tell not show, murder motive inexplicable. Noble savage game strong, endless nature similes, female firefly&mantis killing male as foreshadowing.

    前两个星期在推特Goodreads的评论页看见有人推荐这本,当时正好犯愁读什么,于是就顺便看起来,真是非常特别的故事。人类真实的恶意和欲望,让偶尔浮现的善意和温柔,就像一个虚幻的影子,就像在小牢房里穿过栅栏跳上她膝头的那只猫,连最公正不阿的人类法律也要更偏向她自然的审判,结尾是最大惊喜。

    今年看完的第一本英文小说。A page-turner. 打赌这本小说会被改编成电影。
