《We Have Always Lived in the Castle》是美國著名女作家雪莉·傑克遜哥特小說代表作。 梅里卡特·布萊克伍德（Merricat Blackwood）與妹妹康斯坦絲（Constance）和叔叔朱利安（Julian）住在家族莊園裏。不久前，莊園裏有七個布萊克伍德——直到一個可怕的夜晚，致命的砒霜進入糖罐。康斯坦絲被判無罪釋放，回到了家中，梅里卡特保護她免受村民的好奇和敵意。她們的日子在快樂的孤獨中度過，直到堂兄查爾斯出現。只有梅里卡特能看到危險，她必須迅速採取行動，不讓康斯坦絲落入他的魔爪。
萬聖節推薦🎃🕷️🕸️ 11.10完，雪莉傑克遜的語感太好了，讀得好絲滑。 以我的英語水準看這本書就像看未完成的定格動畫，未加快的一格一格放映。 一些一直重複的囈語、物件，我不明白是什麼意思有什麼敘事含義隱喻，加強詭異感？咒語一樣。 有些句子很驚心，是讀翻譯的時候沒察覺到的，摘： ☞She sat on the rose sofa with our mother’s portrait looking down on her, and I sat in my small chair in the corner and watched. ☞ I thought that perhaps they were only pretending to play, because they were children and were supposed to play, but perhaps they were actually sent here to look for us, thinly disguised as children. ☞I could see her mouth from the side and it was the mouth of a snake. ☞I could see his feet. One of them was tapping and tapping on the floor of our porch.
這是一本很棒的小說，情節簡單但十分感動
It was this book that truly turned me into a devoted fan of Shirley Jackson!
