From the internationally bestselling, Pulitzer Prize—winning author, a superbly crafted new work of fiction: eight stories that take us from Cambridge and Seattle to India and Thailand.
In the stunning title story, Ruma, a young mother in a new city, is visited by her father, who carefully tends the earth of her garden, where he and his grandson form a special bond. But he’s harboring a secret from his daughter, a love affair he’s keeping all to himself. In “A Choice of Accommodations,” a husband’s attempt to turn an old friend’s wedding into a romantic getaway weekend with his wife takes a dark, revealing turn as the party lasts deep into the night. In “Only Goodness,” a sister eager to give her younger brother the perfect childhood she never had is overwhelmed by guilt, anguish, and anger when his alcoholism threatens her family. And in “Hema and Kaushik,” a trio of linked stories–a luminous, intensely compelling elegy of life, death, love, and fate–we follow the lives of a girl and boy who, one winter, share a house in Massachusetts. They travel from innocence to experience on separate, sometimes painful paths, until destiny brings them together again years later in Rome.
刚开始是在学校看到有同学在阿里推打折网http://www.alitui.com/remai/买了这个版本,我翻了下质量蛮好的之后就开始迷恋了 之前在印度旅行的时候买了原版书Unaccustomed Earth,非常好的一本小说集。写出了印度第二代移民在中西方文化之间的游荡和碰撞,远离和回归。
评分不适之地,第一篇和第三篇印象深刻,这些故事仔细回想,好像什么故事性的事情都没有发生。没有超出于普通生活之外的任何情节,但是很奇怪,就是非常吸引人,非常有画面感。叙述手段是主角,偶尔的神游心理活动,加上一些生活琐碎,整个节奏都是不疾不缓,匀速推动。好像是第一...

评分陌生的土地》是鍾芭.拉希莉十年來的第三本書,這樣的創作速度讓人覺得有些意外。二○○○年三十二歲的她以處女作《醫生的翻譯員》獲普立茲小說獎,成為史上第七個以短篇小說集獲得此項殊榮的作家,按理她有本錢像許多作家一樣,以一年一本或兩年一本的速度寫書,但她卻隔了四...
评分充满的东方文化和细腻情感的书。 很久之前读的了,看泡芙小姐时,里面说的。好奇就买来看了,当时家庭关系还不较复杂,读里面好几个关于婚姻关系的故事,心里有些小小的震撼,原来心灵还可以是这样的。似乎某部分确实了,或许从来就没找到过。
印度人的故事
评分以后要是教英文系,一定会把这本书推荐给学生。作者很擅长用朴素平时的语言勾勒出人与人之间复杂微妙的情感。每个短片都有不同的叙事视角,每个细节都合情合理地安排在叙事结构中,不多不少,连贯一致。要搞英文创作,这是一本不错的范例。
评分Peaceful Intricate Intriguing and Brilliant!
评分略翻过几页,似乎是一样的调子。没有短篇精简
评分in comparision with the meaningful title story,it's a pity that part two is a bit cliche,one might anticipate short stories are the writer's stronghold.
