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.

評分看了两遍,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
评分彆有一番瞭解~
评分落葉歸根
评分敘事沒有完全按照時間順序進行,有些淩亂,市場讓人摸不著頭腦。關於‘那十年’一章的描寫,很多都是聽聞、一筆帶過。
评分另一個不為國人所知的知名華人的著作。這個故事有點像民國版灰姑娘,但又不太像。嗯……
