作为小说,很纯粹,如果不想动脑子,那么就顺着那条河流一直漂浮. 从英国到澳大利亚,变化的不只是经纬,还有关于人生的思考.是非之地或许,但是谁知道呢. 土著和移民,一定是对立的么,我看到了别的. 总之是很精彩.
评分 评分很有意思的一本书。没有传统意义的对错之分,只是一群可怜人为了生存而战。争执的对象是土地,与人类息息相关的资源。以索尼尔为代表的流放犯和澳大利亚土著人争夺土地。最后自诩为“文明人”的殖民者虽然胜利了,却用余生去忏悔曾经的屠杀和掠夺。而且夺得了土地不意味着消灭...

The Orange Prize–winning author Kate Grenville recalls her family’s history in an astounding novel about the pioneers of New South Wales. Already a best seller in Australia, The Secret River is the story of Grenville’s ancestors, who wrested a new life from the alien terrain of Australia and its native people. William Thornhill, a Thames bargeman, is deported to the New South Wales colony in what would become Australia in 1806. In this new world of convicts and charlatans, Thornhill tries to pull his family into a position of power and comfort. When he rounds a bend in the Hawkesbury River and sees a gentle slope of land, he becomes determined to make the place his own. But, as uninhabited as the island appears, Australia is full of native people, and they do not take kindly to Thornhill’s theft of their home. The Secret River is the tale of Thornhill’s deep love for his small corner of the new world, and his slow realization that if he wants to settle there, he must ally himself with the most despicable of the white settlers, and to keep his family safe, he must permit terrifying cruelty to come to innocent people.
