摘　　要：On the basis of Etsuko’s memory,A Pale View of Hills,a masterpiece of Kazuo Ishiguro,narrates Etsuko’s life experiences and her identity construction.The paper analyses the novel from the perspective of spatial criticism proposed by Edward Soja and explores the three-dimensional spaces constructed in the novel in order to explore Etsuko’s attempts to leave the marginal space and analyse her pursuit of identity.The paper comes to the conclusion that by constructing Thirdspace open to all cultures,Etsuko eliminates the dichotomy between Firstspace and Secondspace and embraces her hybrid identity.
