The only novel from Alice Munro-award-winning author of The Love of a Good Woman --is an insightful, honest book, "autobiographical in form but not in fact," that chronicles a young girl's growing up in rural Ontario in the 1940's.
Del Jordan lives out at the end of the Flats Road on her father's fox farm, where her most frequent companions are an eccentric bachelor family friend and her rough younger brother. When she begins spending more time in town, she is surrounded by women-her mother, an agnostic, opinionted woman who sells encyclopedias to local farmers; her mother's boarder, the lusty Fern Dogherty; and her best friend, Naomi, with whom she shares the frustrations and unbridled glee of adolescence.
Through these unwitting mentors and in her own encounters with sex, birth, and death, Del explores the dark and bright sides of womanhood. All along she remains a wise, witty observer and recorder of truths in small-town life. The result is a powerful, moving, and humorous demonstration of Alice Munro's unparalleled awareness of the lives of girls and women.

「她擅寫故事的復雜性,而不隻流連於復雜的故事;善於洞悉平常生活的錶象,抽絲剝繭般揭示隱藏的秘密和謊言。她以淡然平實的悲喜劇,延續瞭比同時代作傢更為長久的文學生命。」 摘自:《女孩和女人們的生活》 - 〔加〕艾麗絲·門羅 在豆瓣閱讀書店查看: https://read.douban....
評分這本書的兩個關鍵詞最吸引我:“自傳性”、“唯一的長篇”。由八個短篇組構起來的一個長篇說的是女孩成長為女人的故事。門羅老太真的很細膩,很睿智,很敏銳,女孩和女人們的心理在她的筆尖下鮮活般靈動。她總是娓娓道來,如坐在爐火邊編織毛衣的老婦,不經不意間抖落...
評分人們的願望和他們的奉獻,是我想當然接受的東西,令我有點兒心煩意亂,似乎它們從來就不是我應得的。 “好的。”我說,沒有說謝謝。 很喜歡這個結尾,就像很喜歡書中的很多角落一樣。喜歡,鼕天拉近瞭的距離;信仰堅定瞭的睏惑:生活復雜瞭的細節。
評分2013年,加拿大女作傢艾麗絲·門羅獲得瞭諾貝爾文學奬,此時她已經白發蒼蒼,82歲高齡。照片中的她麵帶著微笑,慈祥又溫柔親切。1971年,40歲的艾麗絲齣版瞭《女孩和女人們的生活》,描寫細膩、精準,故事中的孤獨、茫然、刻薄、冷淡和孤注一擲,透過文字與我相遇。 那些女孩...

評分這本書我看瞭很久很久,最開始提不起勁,可能是因為心浮氣躁地讀,阿姨很多的描寫我隻通其意卻沒能會其神,看到最後一章女主墜入愛河又找迴自我時,一下子就看進去瞭,這纔領會到阿姨寫作手法之輕盈而細膩,遣詞造句之精準而詩意,太靈瞭,是 THE coming-of-age novel for girls,值得反復讀。#3
評分The kind of writing one pauses to savour before moving to the next sentence. Rich, plain, introspective and beautiful.
