“From the summer of my twelfth year I carry a series of images more vivid and lasting than any others of my boyhood and indelible beyond all attempts the years make to erase or fade them… “ So begins David Hayden’s story of what happened in Montana in 1948. The events of that cataclysmic summer permanently alter twelve-year-old David’s understanding of his family: his father, a small-town sheriff; his remarkably strong mother; David’s uncle Frank, a war hero and respected doctor; and the Haydens’ Sioux housekeeper, Marie Little Soldier, whose revelations turn the family’s life upside down as she relates how Frank has been molesting his female Indian patients. As their story unravels around David, he learns that truth is not what one believes it to be, that power is abused, and that sometimes one has to choose between family loyalty and justice.

The Hayden family’s abuse of power in the lawless west backfires
评分這本書注重的更多是情節,對於看過金庸小說的國人來說,裏麵的場景小瞭很多。裏麵牽涉到種族和偏見,以及道德的拷問。不過整篇文字沒有太大難度,讀來比較容易理解,對於人物心裏的刻畫還是比較到位的。Uncle做瞭壞事(少兒不宜),father 作為sheriff也沒有去包庇他,最後uncle畏罪自殺瞭。就這樣公正公益戰勝瞭邪惡醜陋,世界又恢復瞭和平。
评分高中教材之一,英語好的同學說四個小時就看完瞭
评分It is too obvious to say that this is a bestseller worth reading, with its frank and straightforward recount of a pathetic but provoking story against the bleak reality of western America.
