昨天回到家，情緒不太好，但是還是把這本書看完了。
                                                                               
閱讀果然是可以讓人帶著好一點的情緒入睡。
                                                                               
                                                                               
故事由「茄鹼」開始。
                                                                               
茄鹼是馬鈴薯的芽所帶有的輕微毒性，女主角從謀殺的想法開始了這個故事。
                                                                               
                                                                               
這作品探討了夫妻之間關係的維繫當中所產生的許多謊言，
                                                                               
可大可小、可自然、可不動聲色，
                                                                               
夫妻兩人各自發展著外遇，因此而對對方不斷地說謊，
                                                                               
即使知道這是不對的，但是因為愛著對方因此就只好不斷地說謊下去。
                    
                                                                              
                                                                               
人只對想要守護的人說謊，或是打算守護的人。
                                                                               
一起睡覺，一起起床，無論出門去哪裡都又會一起回來的地方。
                                                                               
                                                                               
                                                                               
琉璃子與聰這一對夫妻，就是在無性生活與各自有外遇當中，
                                                                               
默默地在乎對方活下去。
                                                                               
                                                                               
正因為劈腿，才感受自己對對方的愛。
                                                                               
                                                                               
蠻爛的想法，可是真是真實啊。
                                                                               
                                                                               
我喜歡江國在故事理鋪敘的手法，以第三者的角度冷眼旁觀，
                          
                                                                               
又有時以夫妻各自的心裡作出發，
                                                                               
煎熬、不安、驚動、愧疚、捨不得離開情人、渴望激情……
                                                                               
筆法平淡，感覺卻相當精采哦。
                                                                               
                                                                               
故事在「附子花」這個毒性更強的植物說明中結束，
                                                                               
帶出了與第一回「茄鹼」的呼應。
                                                                               
                                                                               
到最後的結果是什麼呢？
                                                                               
坦白說我對於那樣的結局很不以為然，
                                                                               
但是想想在現實狀況中，好像也大多朝著這樣的方向走去。
                                                                               
                                                                               
請大家自己去看囉。
