已经忘记当年选择阅读马严君玲这本传记的初衷,很可能是抱着一种研究态度,想了解二战初期的中国,也好奇那时候的富人生活。如果真是这样,我大概没有从马严君玲的书中得到我想要的信息。 落叶归根其实就是常见八点档的浓缩版。狐狸精般的继母,美丽但阴险。色迷心窍的父亲,...

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.

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。
评分别有一番了解~
评分一个民国女子的曲折经历折射出那一段历史转折时期的风雨冲突。
评分叙事没有完全按照时间顺序进行,有些凌乱,市场让人摸不着头脑。关于‘那十年’一章的描写,很多都是听闻、一笔带过。
评分落叶归根
