Book Description

After Adeline's mother died, her affluent father remarried a French-Chinese teenager, Niang, and the family moved to Shanghai where they lived in a large house in the middle of the French Concession. During this time, the 1930s, when everything western in treaty ports such as Shanghai was deemed superior to anything Chinese, Niang was the ultimate status symbol and Adeline's father was besotted. But while Niang gave her own two children beautiful clothes and lovely presents, she treated her five stepchildren harshly and with disdain. Adeline in particular was considered inferior and insignificant and she was bullied and beaten by her siblings. When the family moved to Hong Kong in 1949, Adeline was banished to a boarding school from which she was rarely allowed home. Set against a background of changing political times and the collision of East and West, this text describes how the complexities of family relationships were to come to a head at her father's and Niang's deaths. It also tells of how Adeline survived the traumas of her childhood to make a successful career for herself.

看了两遍,我本身也很好奇那个旧时代的人怎么生活,这本书给我一种穿越时空的感觉。adeline很励志,但不是所有人都像她一样聪明可以靠自己智慧打拼。很羡慕这样的女人。看的是英文版,好奇有没有中文版,书中有些情节还是对communist蛮负面的。

第一次看的英文原版作品

评分

叙事没有完全按照时间顺序进行,有些凌乱,市场让人摸不着头脑。关于‘那十年’一章的描写,很多都是听闻、一笔带过。

另一个不为国人所知的知名华人的著作。这个故事有点像民国版灰姑娘,但又不太像。嗯……
