"Oprah's Book Club(r) May 1999 Selection Astrid is the only child of a single mother, Ingrid, a brilliant, obsessed poet who wields her luminous beauty to intimidate and manipulate men. Astrid worships her mother and cherishes their private world full of ritual and mystery-but their idyll is shattered when Astrid's mother falls apart over a lover. Deranged by rejection, Ingrid murders the man, and is sentenced to life in prison. White Oleander is the unforgettable story of Astrid's journey through a series of foster homes and her efforts to find a place for herself in impossible circumstances. Each home is its own universe, with a new set of laws and lessons to be learned. With determination and humor, Astrid confronts the challenges of loneliness and poverty, and strives to learn who a motherless child in an indifferent world can become. Tough, irrepressible, funny, and warm, Astrid is one of the most indelible characters in recent fiction. White Oleander is an unforgettable story of mothers and daughters, burgeoning sexuality, the redemptive powers of art, and the unstoppable force of the emergent self. Written with exquisite beauty and grace, this is a compelling debut by an author poised to join the ranks of today's most gifted novelists."

一個女孩,從11歲到18歲,換瞭6所寄養傢庭。 她的生活裏有什麼?母親的獄中來信,藝術,詩歌,畫畫,想象,希望;也有毒品,槍殺,性,乞討,挨餓,辱罵,失望。 現實中看到這樣一個非主流女孩,你會避而遠之吧? 可讀完這本小說,你會想抱著她,嘆息一聲說我懂。 連著一整天...
評分就我而言,這是最好的小說.看的是最早那個尚未成書,刊登在譯林上的版本.這麼多年過去,雜誌早就掉瞭封皮,一頁一頁翻到爛掉.固執得用膠帶粘起來,時常翻看,怎麼看都看不膩. 即使不提情節與內在,單論文字就極美.原作者用油畫一般地筆觸,將艱難的現實寫得一如童話,原作本身就很美瞭....
評分那是十多年前,第一次讀這本書。十多年前我還是小學的時候,和莫言的紅樹林一起看完。 那時候經曆人生中最痛苦的一段時光,時時刻刻都有悲苦和不忿,比起阿斯特裏德的不幸遭遇,我更好奇,一樣是孩子,她能怎麼麵對。 由儉入奢易,由奢入儉難。 閤書迴味,人生,是不斷破壞和修...
評分書比電影好得多!!! 不管是中譯本還是英文原版都很不錯。Janet Fitch 用的英語都不難,但是很美很流暢。 我以前很喜歡“成長與剋服”這類的書,所以曾經很喜歡這本書,推薦一個。
