“Later she remembered all the hours of the afternoon as happy—one of those uneventful times that seem at the moment only a link between past and future pleasure but turn out to have been the pleasure itself.”
Tender is the Night, 在我还用kindle时翻了两章就长久停滞在那里，前天又想起来开始读，到Book 2终于有意思了一点

Tender is the Night--F.S Fitzgerald
好久没看英文fiction...(惊觉这两年真的nonfic居多)
Book 1 is quite uneventful, book 3 is tiring. 其实很冷的一个故事，一些“困难”轻巧得又很可笑，感觉后面作者多少有点不忍心。
还是喜欢book2，旧悲剧在揭开，新悲剧在迫切等待，这种张力比较吸引人。
“He used to think that he wanted to be good, he wanted to be kind, he wanted to be brave and wise, but it was all pretty difficult. He wanted to be loved, too, if he could fit it in.”
和后面的重现：
“he had made his choice, chosen Ophelia, chosen the sweet poison and drunk it. Wanting above all to be brave and kind, he had wanted, even more than that, to be loved. So it had been. ”
“Doctor Dohmler, my daughter isn’t right in the head.”
不知道为什么，读到这句话像突然有人拿金属棍子捅进我胃里绞了一下。
