　　Spain. A land of eternal passion and unceasing bloodshed. From

the vengeance of a pitiless tyrant, four women flee the sacred,

once-safe walls of a convent: LUCIA, the proud survivor harboring a

murderous secret from the savage clan wars of Sicily...GRACIELLA,

the beauty still unpurged of guilt from one reckless, youthful

sin...MEGAN, the orphan seeking perilous refuge in the arms of a

defiant Basque rebel...and TERESA, the believer haunted by a faith

that mocks her with silence. Leaving innocence but not hope behind,

they venture into an alien, dazzling world, where each will

encounter an unexpected destiny -- and the truth about herself.

媒体评论

"Enormously entertaining...delightful"

-- Chattanooga Times

"Big, broad splashes of action and crude but colorful characters

are Sheldon's trademarks, as he demonstrates again in a new novel

probably destined to join Windmills of the Gods and Rage of Angels

on the bestseller list. The backdrop for this romantic adventure

story is the conflict between Basque nationalists and a repressive

Spanish government in the post-Franco years. Pitted against each

other in a fight to the death are charismatic Basque guerrilla

leader Jaime Miro and corrupt, sadistic Colonel Acoca. When Acoca

brutally sacks a convent in search of Miro, four nuns escape at the

urging of Sister Lucia, who has been hiding in the cloister since

taking vengeance on the men who put her Mafioso father behind bars.

Beautiful Sister Graciela, tomboyish, orphaned Sister Megan and

Sister Teresa, who is teetering toward a breakdown, flee into the

forest with Lucia, where they are grudgingly befriended by Miro and

his gang. Before crossing Spain to a rendezvous point, the group

splits up to more safely evade an increasingly enraged Colonel

Acoca. Lucia's predicament presents an amusing counterpoint to

suspense, as Rubio, the simple peasant who accompanies her, kindly

explains worldly activities to a woman who knows a great deal more

than he does. Not a breath of subtlety touches these pages, but

goodwill and lively subplots move the book along at a spirited

pace."

  情节跌宕起伏，要说挺好的，可是总觉得跌宕起伏的有点过。小说是要有情节，但不能密密麻麻全部是情节，plot for plot's sake, 就一般般了。

  看完10%才进去状态，西班牙语太多，常常一连串人名地名。觉得比上一本好看。主线太多，结局不太喜欢。

  书名：The Times of sand

  作者：Sidney Sheldon

  篇幅：427页

  难度：跟The Rage Of Angels差不多

  用时：11天

  阅读平均时段：15:00-19:00

  日段：2015年12月23日-2016年1月2日

  透析成果：

            这是我读过的第4本超过100页的英文原版小说。我用kindle查的词典。比上本The Rage Of Angels查的要少，专业名词也少很多。由于故事背景发生在西班牙，所有各种san-,-do词眼、西式地名、人名迅猛而来。算是见识到了西班牙人的名字的厉害。

            依然是开头几乎每页查一词，后来降到正常水平。主要原因是西班牙的人名和地名以及西班牙内战的背景之前从来没了解过。。。

            随着词汇量的增多，相似的词汇也相应增加。他们缠绕着我的脑海。。。不知道是好事还是坏事。

  读后笔记：

  相比上本The rage of angels，剧情有点过于浮夸，但依然精彩。就像一部好莱坞快餐式电影，充满各种起伏，故事分多条线同时展开，最后融合在一起。当然，你还会想再看一遍吗？
