生活在温哥华,对种族的差异,移民的烦恼,有深入体会,我特别关注移民题材的文学作品。我发现,在北美,移民矛盾突出的族裔主要是亚裔和拉丁裔,其他的种族似乎没有这么明显,可能他们的文化趋同。华裔女作家谭恩美的《喜福会》,我读过好几遍,母女之间既有深沉执着...
评分说实话,这不是一本阅读体验很愉悦的书。 开篇,作者就让女主角莉迪亚死了。 一个青春期的美丽女孩,成绩优异,父母兄长疼爱,是什么让她选择了在别人酣睡的深夜走向了湖面,最后落水而死。 故事从莉迪亚的父母开始。一个哈佛华裔学生,家庭赤贫,他靠着天赋一路学霸到了哈佛...
评分To be honest I haven't read such an overwhelming novel in ages. Well technically any novels just to be fair. It has everything a thriller should have: A missing/dead girl, a seemingly normal family that had something weird buried in somewhere, a strange b...

Lydia is dead. But they don’t know this yet . . . So begins the story of this exquisite debut novel, about a Chinese American family living in 1970s small-town Ohio. Lydia is the favorite child of Marilyn and James Lee; their middle daughter, a girl who inherited her mother’s bright blue eyes and her father’s jet-black hair. Her parents are determined that Lydia will fulfill the dreams they were unable to pursue—in Marilyn’s case that her daughter become a doctor rather than a homemaker, in James’s case that Lydia be popular at school, a girl with a busy social life and the center of every party.
When Lydia’s body is found in the local lake, the delicate balancing act that has been keeping the Lee family together tumbles into chaos, forcing them to confront the long-kept secrets that have been slowly pulling them apart. James, consumed by guilt, sets out on a reckless path that may destroy his marriage. Marilyn, devastated and vengeful, is determined to find a responsible party, no matter what the cost. Lydia’s older brother, Nathan, is certain that the neighborhood bad boy Jack is somehow involved. But it’s the youngest of the family—Hannah—who observes far more than anyone realizes and who may be the only one who knows the truth about what happened.
A profoundly moving story of family, history, and the meaning of home, Everything I Never Told You is both a gripping page-turner and a sensitive family portrait, exploring the divisions between cultures and the rifts within a family, and uncovering the ways in which mothers and daughters, fathers and sons, and husbands and wives struggle, all their lives, to understand one another.
典型的创意写作班出来的工匠之作,但我个人还是比较喜欢。奇怪的是,我反而最心疼长子内斯。他洞悉了妹妹的一切痛苦,但却无意中错失了拯救她的机会。他恨着一个爱他的男孩,而他应该永远都不知道。整个家庭的爱与恨都是无声的,却极其残忍。
评分2014亚马逊editor's pick读后感:世上笨鸟有三种,一种是先飞的,一种是嫌累不飞的。问:那第三种呢? 答:这种最讨厌,自己飞不起來,就在窝里下个蛋,要下一代使劲飞!"
评分读(听)了两遍, 还是没有打动我. 故事情节合乎情理, 也许是过于合理, 完全在意料之中.
评分三星,amazon的推荐水准...不太合我的胃口。小说里写实的部分虽然有,但是cliche的部分有点多。
评分剧情很抓人,看得很快。但感觉人物性格描写,剧情推进都有点过于样板化。cliche太多了,尤其是关于刻板印象的部分。P.S.点破Jack的暗恋那一段简直,太戳了!导致我后半本书注意力完全没有放在主要剧情上。P.P.S. 我最心疼的是小女儿。
