书籍简介

这是一本坦率的小说，讲述了爱情、背叛和友谊，讲述了一个年轻女子与同龄人决裂，搬到伦敦，开始了一段令人震惊的婚外情。

“当我在学校的时候，我常常认为每个人都不喜欢我，这与事实相差不远，”梅格·贝利在《别那样看我》的开头承认。梅格在20世纪40年代中期长大成人，她发现自己在任何地方都格格不入:她不相信父亲的牧师住所，在她那沉闷的寄宿学校里是一个艺术梦想家，在她好朋友罗克珊和罗克珊未来的丈夫迪克经常光顾的世俗圈子里是个乡巴人。刚从艺术学校毕业的梅格，搬进了伦敦一间乱糟烂的公寓，到处都是孩子们的哭声、情侣们的争吵声，甚至还有外国人的声音，她才开始有了家的感觉。但与过去的联系并不是那么容易切断的，梅格必须从她与罗克珊和迪克的亲密关系中解脱出来，然后才能开始“以自己的方式生活”。

《别那样看我》是回忆录作家兼编辑戴安娜·阿希尔的一部小说，她于2019年去世，享年101岁。这是一个既清晰又富有同情心的故事，讲述了犯错误和创造生活的故事。

A candid novel of love, betrayal, and friendship about a young woman who breaks with her peers, moves to London, and begins a shocking affair.

“When I was at school I used to think that everyone disliked me, and it wasn’t far from true” confesses Meg Bailey at the start of Don’t Look at Me Like That. Coming of age in the mid-1940s, Meg finds herself to be out of place wherever she finds herself: She is a nonbeliever in her father’s parsonage, an artistic dreamer at her stuffy boarding school, a provincial in the worldly circles frequented by her best friend Roxane and Dick, Roxane’s future husband. It is only when Meg, newly graduated from art school, moves into an untidy London rooming house alive with the sounds of crying children, sparring lovers, and even foreigners, that she begins to feel at home. But ties to the past are not so easily severed, and Meg must disentangle herself from her troubled intimacy with Roxane and Dick before she can begin to start “living in her own way.”

Don’t Look at Me Like That is the only novel by the famed memoirist and editor Diana Athill, who died in 2019 at the age of one hundred and one. At once clear-eyed and compassionate, it is a story of making mistakes and making a life.
