Bella Poldark 豆瓣
作者: Graham, Winston 2008 - 6
Cornwall 1818. We continue the tale of Ross and Demelza; of the wayward Valentine Warleggan, whose existence keeps open the old wounds of the feud between Ross and George; of Bella, the Poldark's youngest daughter, whose precocious talent as a singer is encouraged by her old flame, Christopher Havergal, and by a distinguished French conductor, who has more in mind than Bella's music; of Clowance, the Poldark's widowed daughter, who considers remarriage to one of two rival suitors; and, of a murderer who stalks the villages of west Cornwall. 'From the very first lines we tingle with the sense that we are in good hands, transported by Graham's atmospheric prose back to 1818 and the treacherous coast of craggy Cornwall' - "Daily Mail".

《Poldark Saga》的最后一部,为他们的故事画上了一个句号(两个女儿的归宿我都好喜欢)。相比Jeremy,我觉得Valentine是个更鲜活的人物,一言一行都那么不教人喜欢,但他却让人怎么都不讨厌,有一种很真实的伤痛隐藏在他离经叛道的外表之下。Ross这辈子最对不起的人,大概就是这个儿子了。我之前不知说了多少遍Demelza“格局小”,她在那种时候还要和Ross冷战,嗯,真有她的。到最后我真的怀疑,她和Ross之间的感情是否真的有他俩以为的那么深、那么真。

The Twisted Sword 豆瓣
作者: Graham, Winston 2008 - 6
Cornwall 1815. Demelza sees a horseman riding down the valley and senses disruption to the domestic contentment she has fought so hard to achieve. For Ross has little option but to accept the summons - and travel to Paris with his family, as an 'observer' of the French armed forces. Parisian life begins well with an exhilarating round of balls and parties. But the return of Napoleon brings separation, distrust and danger to the Poldarks, and always for Demelza there is the shadow of the secret she does not even share with Ross. 'From the incomparable Winston Graham...who has everything that anyone else has, then a whole lot more' - "Guardian".

The Loving Cup 豆瓣
作者: Graham, Winston 2008 - 6
Cornwall 1813. A silver cup lies half-forgotten in a dark cave, amongst a pile of stolen goods. Yet the tiny vessel and its inscription 'Amor gignit amorem' haunts the lives of the still-feuding Poldark and Warleggan families, as Ross, Demelza and the ambitious and powerful Sir George Warleggan watch their children make the decisions that will shape their destinies. In the closing years of the wars against Napoleon, for Jeremy and Clowance, and for arrogant, cynical Valentine Warleggan, these are troubled and momentous times. 'From the incomparable Winston Graham...who has everything that anyone else has, and then a whole lot more' - "Guardian".

哎呦喂,Hugh Armitage这个小三的皮厚程度真是登峰造极了,我被他的“伪文艺真无耻”恶心坏了(不过转念想想,如果抛开电视剧的人物形象,按书里描述,Ross长相平平,Hugh英俊秀美,我大概也能理解Demelza的心猿意马)。看电视剧时觉得Sam那条线非常无聊,没想到看这本书时最有触动的反倒是Sam。Emma这姑娘也很让人喜欢。

Portrait of a Spy 豆瓣
作者: Silva, Daniel Harperluxe 2011 - 7
Haunted by his failure to stop a suicide bomber in London, Gabriel Allon is summoned to Washington and drawn into a confrontation with the new face of global terror. At the center of the threat is an American-born cleric in Yemen who was once a paid CIA asset. Gabriel and his team devise a daring plan to destroy the network of death—from the inside—a gambit fraught with risk, both personal and professional. To succeed, Gabriel must reach into his violent past. A woman waits there—a reclusive heiress and art collector who can traverse the murky divide between Islam and the West. She is the daughter of an old enemy, and together they form an unlikely and dangerous bond. Set against the disparate worlds of art and intelligence, Portrait of a Spy moves swiftly from the corridors of power in Washington to the glamorous auction houses of New York and London to the unforgiving landscape of the Saudi desert. Featuring a climax that will leave readers haunted long after they turn the final page, this deeply entertaining story is also a breathtaking portrait of courage in the face of unspeakable evil—and Daniel Silva’s most extraordinary novel to date.
The Far Pavilions 豆瓣
作者: M. M. Kaye St. Martin's Griffin 1997 - 1
When The Far Pavilions was first published nineteen years ago, it moved the critic Edmund Fuller to write this: "Were Miss Kaye to produce no other book, The Far Pavilions might stand as a lasting accomplishment in a single work comparable to Margaret Mitchell's achievement in Gond With the Wind."
From its beginning in the foothills of the towering Himalayas, M.M. Kaye's masterwork is a vast, rich and vibrant tapestry of love and war that ranks with the greatest panoramic sagas of modern fiction.
The Far Pavilions is itself a Himalayan achievement, a book we hate to see come to an end. it is a passionate, triumphant story that excites us, fills us with joy, move us to tears, satisfies us deeply, and helps us remember just what it is we want most from a novel.
