The Party

內容簡介

內容簡介 一部令人無法抗拒的中篇小說，講述兩位姐妹與一個改變一切的夜晚，出自這位擅於描繪內心隱秘渴望的大師之手。「特莎·哈德利是我最喜愛的作家」——凱特·阿特金森（Kate Atkinson）「伊芙琳突然想到，身體有時比其內心的人更明智。她希望能向某人傳達這個想法，但無法清楚地解釋。」在戰後布里斯托爾的一個冬季週六夜晚，兩位即將成年的姐妹——莫伊拉（Moira）和伊芙琳（Evelyn），參加了一場由藝術學生在碼頭酒吧舉辦的派對。在派對上，她們結識了兩位男子——保羅（Paul）和辛登（Sinden）。這兩人的世故與優雅令姐妹倆既著迷又反感。幾天後，辛登打電話邀請她們到郊區一座保羅與兄妹共享的豪宅，而莫伊拉在伊芙琳有所顧慮的情況下，決定接受邀請。在這個陌生而迷人的新環境中，夜晚漸漸展開，姐妹倆對自己與彼此有了新的認識，這些發現令她們震驚，並將她們引向人生的新階段。「很少有作家能給我如此持續的愉悅。」——扎迪·史密斯（Zadie Smith）「哈德利非凡的技巧在於，能讓表層生活與內心深處同時栩栩如生。」——科爾姆·托賓（Colm Tóibín）「特莎·哈德利的每本書都會吸引新的仰慕者。」——希拉里·曼特爾（Hilary Mantel）An irresistible novella about two sisters and a night that changes everything, from the master chronicler of our heart’s hidden desires.‘Tessa Hadley is my favourite author’ KATE ATKINSONEvelyn had the surprising thought that bodies were sometimes wiser than the people inside them. She’d have liked to impress somebody with this idea, but couldn’t explain it.On a winter Saturday night in post-war Bristol, sisters Moira and Evelyn, on the cusp of adulthood, go to an art students’ party in a dockside pub; there they meet two men, Paul and Sinden, whose air of worldliness and sophistication both intrigues and repels them. Sinden calls a few days later to invite them over to the grand suburban mansion Paul shares with his brother and sister, and Moira accepts despite Evelyn’s misgivings.As the night unfolds in this unfamiliar, glamorous new setting, the sisters learn things about themselves and each other that shock them, and release them into a new phase of their lives.‘Few writers give me such consistent pleasure’ZADIE SMITH‘Hadley’s extraordinary skill [is] making both surface life and deep interiors come fully alive’COLM TÓIBÍN‘Tessa Hadley recruits admirers with each book’HILARY MANTEL
