书籍介绍
这看似是一个关于维多利亚时代伦敦的盗窃与骗局故事：孤儿苏在贼窝里长大，被卷入一场针对富家女莫德的骗局。但真正让读者久久不能释怀的，是叙事本身设下的陷阱。作者 Waters 刻意让读者只从不同人物的第一人称视角窥见事态的片段，我们以为握住了真相，其实只是抓住了某个被精心挑选的切面。当反转层层揭开，'眼见'不再'为凭'，读者才惊觉自己也曾轻信过叙述者的眼睛。而更动人的是，满纸阴谋与欺瞒之间，两个女子之间那份浓得化不开的情意却真实地生长出来——轻蔑能榨出财富，爱却不能，可她们偏偏在算计的废墟里触碰到了彼此。它适合所有愿意被'骗'、又愿意在骗局之后重新审视'谁在说话、为何这样说'的读者。

精彩摘录
- "我想到近来我为理查德和我舅舅诵读的那些书：此刻，它们又浮现出来，字句零碎，片片段段——覆上了她的唇舌——抓住我的手——臀部，唇舌——半推半就地——握住我的胸脯——她私处的小花瓣——我无法令它们安静下来。我几乎能看到这些字句，于黑暗中，自苍白的书页中升起，汇聚，浮游，组合起来。我将手放在面前。我也不知道自己躺了多久。但我肯定是搞出了点声响，或者动静；因为当我放回双手，她就醒了，睁开了眼。我知道她在察看，尽管这床上非常黑。 “乖乖睡觉。”她说道，声音有些发闷。 我感觉到我睡衣中的双腿，一丝不挂。我感觉到双腿交会的那一点。我感觉到那些字句，仍在汇聚。她四肢的温度，从床铺织物中一点一点慢慢传过来。 我"
- "她只做了这么个动作，我看在眼里，就感觉心里猛然一沉——那种塌陷，那种坠落，夹杂着多少惊惶和黑暗，我以为那是恐惧，或者疯癫。"
- "Kissing Maud, however, was not like kissing her. It was like kissing the darkness. As if the darkness had life, had a shape, had taste, was warm and glib. Her mouth was still, at first. Then it moved against mine. Then it opened. I felt her tongue. I felt her swallow. I felt—I had done it, only to s"
- "因为人无法从爱中获取利益，却能从轻蔑中榨出财富，像从抹布中扭绞出脏水，这就是事实。"
- "我感到了那条连在我和她之间的线，在拉扯着，拉扯着我的心——拉得那么紧，我的心都痛了。有九百九十九次，我差一点爬起来，差一点回到她身边去了。有九百九十九次，我对自己说，到她那儿去！你还在等什么？回到她身边去啊！但是每一次，我都会想到这样做将带来的后果。我知道，我不可能睡在她身边而不去抚摩她。我不可能感觉到她唇边的气息而不去吻她。我不可能在吻了她之后，而不想去救她。"
- "让我畏缩的并不是鞭打的警告，而是我知道强大的耐心能有多残酷。"
- "我提供给你的建议很棒也很特别，这不是通常那种妻子隶属于丈夫的婚姻关系——合法的掠夺与窃取却称之为婚姻生活的那种束缚。"
- "这就是最终让我伤害她的爱——不是轻蔑，也没有恶意，只有爱。"
用户评论
剧情绝了。细节也照顾的非常周到，并且丝毫不做作，恰到好处。TP角色随着剧情而转换，真美好而自然。
情色同性文学
Its amazing!
字字句句写的都是阴谋和欺瞒，但传到心中的全是浓得化不开的爱！
如此细腻，被感动了。深深地。每一个情节的感动。
“I don't want to be rich. I never wanted to be rich. I only want you."
"You knew it all! You made me kiss you. You made me want to kiss you again."
"It is filled with all the words for how I want you."
虽然因为是第一人称叙述，会有一点琐碎，但剧情确实很优秀，双人视角反转人生。
Less incredible than I thought, but as my first experience of reading lesbian novel, it’s great. Girls’ romances are pure and red-blooded.
电影看完后四年终于把囤的书看掉了，书籍比电影更细腻。情节很紧凑，Maun和Sue各自的视角把心理活动展现得丝丝入扣，尤其最后五页重见，欲而不色，直白而不粗俗，细腻却少语。
她喜欢的~
