Dear Adeline, how are you? It’s been weeks I haven’t read your words. Hugging my knees and staring at the windows, there aint many stars dotting the dark blue sky tonight, but my thinking of you floats miles and miles into the distance. How magical it w...
评分看了两遍,我本身也很好奇那个旧时代的人怎么生活,这本书给我一种穿越时空的感觉。adeline很励志,但不是所有人都像她一样聪明可以靠自己智慧打拼。很羡慕这样的女人。看的是英文版,好奇有没有中文版,书中有些情节还是对communist蛮负面的。
评分The book, vividly written in English, provides a very personal account of life back to the 1900s, when flourishing business and foreign influence claimed the coastal metropolis of Shanghai and Tianjin. Yet it has delved too much into daily nuisance - her se...

Book Description
After Adeline's mother died, her affluent father remarried a French-Chinese teenager, Niang, and the family moved to Shanghai where they lived in a large house in the middle of the French Concession. During this time, the 1930s, when everything western in treaty ports such as Shanghai was deemed superior to anything Chinese, Niang was the ultimate status symbol and Adeline's father was besotted. But while Niang gave her own two children beautiful clothes and lovely presents, she treated her five stepchildren harshly and with disdain. Adeline in particular was considered inferior and insignificant and she was bullied and beaten by her siblings. When the family moved to Hong Kong in 1949, Adeline was banished to a boarding school from which she was rarely allowed home. Set against a background of changing political times and the collision of East and West, this text describes how the complexities of family relationships were to come to a head at her father's and Niang's deaths. It also tells of how Adeline survived the traumas of her childhood to make a successful career for herself.

评分别有一番了解~
评分太窝囊,太圣母,一家人被一个后妈压制了一辈子,搞得妻离子散、骨肉相残。看到主人公几次逃离、努力创出自己的新天地,都以为她会变得坚强和坚决起来,能够反抗后母了,临了却圣母心大发,一直向后母谄媚,到结尾都没有翻身。几个孩子的爸爸本是巨贾,却稀里糊涂被妻子哄骗得死死的,窝窝囊囊把财产、亲人都丢了,不得不令人感叹可能人和人之间真是有宿命关系,可能真是遇到了克星。语言很容易读,作者把周围人丑恶嘴脸都骂了一个遍,只有自己是洁白无瑕的,不知道是不是有失偏颇。
