So begins May Sarton's short, swift blow of a novel, about the powerlessness of the old and the rage it can bring. As We Are Now tells the story of Caroline Spencer, a 76-year-old retired schoolteacher, mentally strong but physically frail, who has been moved by relatives into a "home." Subjected to subtle humiliations and petty cruelties, sustained for too short a time by the love of another person, she fights back with all she has, and in a powerful climax wins a terrible victory.

The soul never ages
评分Dignity
评分无法一字一句看下来的呢喃 就是一步步走向绝望的印记。
评分前半部分让人精神鼓舞，不老的精神，灵魂和尊严与反抗。后半部分越来越多表现出来borderline的症状，尤其对其他人人格甚至生命的无视。Self-fulfilling prophecy is often born just like that. 读完心情很差，也算是文字震撼。
评分心有余而力不足的老人，对于他们来说最可怜的不是一心向死，而是一次又一次燃起希望后又一次又一次熄灭。
