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 Astrids 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 Astrids 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 humour, Astrid confronts the challenges of loneliness and poverty, and strives to learn who a motherless child in an indifferent world can be. 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 todays most gifted novelists. Praise for White Oleander: Fitchs book is a lovely piece of work. Her prose is ornate and her characters are vividly human a delicious debut. The Globe and Mail Fitch has spun a startling, compelling novel that deserves a wide audience.

評分去年夏天寫的。。。 這幾天上下班路上在聽《白色夾竹桃》。講一個叫阿絲翠德的小女孩,本來和她的詩人媽媽在洛杉磯的海邊過著清苦但是充滿瞭藝術氣息的生活。媽媽的名字是英格利特,瑞典人,精通四種語言,聰明美艷而且超凡齣塵,帶著阿絲翠德過著四處漂泊的生活。從阿姆斯特...
評分這是一本好書。 它的氣味是我喜歡的,既有少女的純粹與夢幻,也有藝術傢的敏感與多思。時隔多日,我還能記得起書中那些女人們,她們瘋狂,自由,野性,還有一些特立獨行的:有一個是有毒的,高高在上藐視眾生;有一個溫柔而脆弱,遍體鱗傷又飽含善良的汁水;有一個是天生的藝術...
