Amazon.com Aging Larry Cook announces his intention to turn over his 1,000-acre farm--one of the largest in Zebulon County, Iowa--to his three daughters, Caroline, Ginny and Rose. A man of harsh sensibilities, he carves Caroline out of the deal because she has the nerve to be less than enthusiastic about her father s generosity. While Larry Cook deteriorates into a pathetic drunk, his daughters are left to cope with the often grim realities of life on a family farm--from battering husbands to cutthroat lenders. In this winner of the 1991 National Book Critics Circle Award for Fiction, Smiley captures the essence of such a life with stark, painful detail. From Publishers Weekly Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the NBCC Award for fiction, a BOMC dual main selection and a five-week PW bestseller in cloth, Smiley s novel of family life on an insular Iowa farm raises profound questions about human conduct and moral responsibility.

評分也許,因為大部分傢族史都是由男性書寫的,在其中看到的更多的是曆史和時代的交織,時代變遷的縮影,宏大敘述下的傢族命運、曆史傳承、人物性格衝突。但是閱讀這樣一本以女性視角敘述展開敘事的傢族史。無疑是對一種閱讀經驗的補充。其中,我們所看到的,是站立在女性意識下,...
