The author of Bird in Hand and The Way Life Should Be delivers her most ambitious and powerful novel to date: a captivating story of two very different women who build an unexpected friendship: a 91-year-old woman with a hidden past as an orphan-train rider and the teenage girl whose own troubled adolescence leads her to seek answers to questions no one has ever thought to ask.

Nearly eighteen, Molly Ayer knows she has one last chance. Just months from "aging out" of the child welfare system, and close to being kicked out of her foster home, a community service position helping an elderly woman clean out her home is the only thing keeping her out of juvie and worse.

Vivian Daly has lived a quiet life on the coast of Maine. But in her attic, hidden in trunks, are vestiges of a turbulent past. As she helps Vivian sort through her possessions and memories, Molly discovers that she and Vivian aren't as different as they seem to be. A young Irish immigrant orphaned in New York City, Vivian was put on a train to the Midwest with hundreds of other children whose destinies would be determined by luck and chance.

The closer Molly grows to Vivian, the more she discovers parallels to her own life. A Penobscot Indian, she, too, is an outsider being raised by strangers, and she, too, has unanswered questions about the past. As her emotional barriers begin to crumble, Molly discovers that she has the power to help Vivian find answers to mysteries that have haunted her for her entire life - answers that will ultimately free them both.

Rich in detail and epic in scope, Orphan Train is a powerful novel of upheaval and resilience, of second chances, of unexpected friendship, and of the secrets we carry that keep us from finding out who we are.

离别、重逢、得到、失去在命运中轮番上演,生活似乎就爱和我们开种种的玩笑。直到我们理解了人生不如意十之八九,直到我们学会了释怀,直到我们学会了笑对未来…… 《列车孤儿》就是这样一个感人至深的故事。它让我们学会坚毅、学会不能轻易倒下、学会面对得失、学会用爱和希望...

两位忘年的女性,因为同样的孤儿身份而有了交集和共鸣,两条时间线索在相互穿插、交融。人性的真伪在字里行间迸发,值得一读。

评分

用略带纪实的行文,把真实的历史记录下来,把那些个体的文化流传下来,并能得到大众的认可

第一本在kindle上看完的原版小说 孤儿列车开往一个个城市 将孩子们引向未知的归宿 虽然故事有点俗套 但细致入微的描摹还是令人热泪盈眶 一处是列车上的难友Vivian与Dutchy重逢 一处是Vivian和别离半个世纪的女儿暮年相认 也许岁月曾残忍地在你身上留下印记 但是如果有一个因类似遭遇而懂你的忘年之交帮你完成救赎 也是一种福气吧 就像Molly之于Vivian 豆友说 颠沛流离之人在颠沛流离之人身上得到安慰 诚然!

评分

时隔八十年,横跨两个时代的离合悲欢,从爱尔兰、印度到美国,全球化下的移民命运,都在作者细腻的笔触下延展开来。虽然觉得开篇的苍凉凄惶,在下半段被赶进度似的叙事节奏影响,但总的来说,架构成熟,文笔优美简洁,很喜欢。

评分

是历史,是现实。遗弃、虐待、歧视、恐惧,和绝望后的重生,因为我的工作,让我更看懂这本书。
