BRILLIANT . . . A THRILLING WORK OF ART.--Chicago Sun-TimesWhen Larry Cook, the aging patriarch of a rich, thriving farm in Iowa, decides to retire, he offers his land to his three daughters. For Ginny and Rose, who live on the farm with their husbands, the gift makes sense--a reward for years of hard work, a challenge to make the farm even more successful. But the youngest, Caroline, a Des Moines lawyer, flatly rejects the idea, and in anger her father cuts her out--setting off an explosive series of events that will leave none of them unchanged. A classic story of contemporary American life, A THOUSAND ACRES strikes at the very heart of what it means to be a father, a daughter, a family."While she has written beautifully about families in all of her seven preceding books, [this] effort is her best: a family portrait that is also a near-epic investigation into the broad landscape, the thousand dark acres, of the human heart."--The Washington Post Book World"A full, commanding novel . . . This is a story bound and tethered to a lonely road in the Midwest, but drawn from a universal source. . . . A profoundly American novel.1--The Boston Globe"A TOUR DE FORCE."--Newsweek"POWERFUL AND POIGNANT."--The New York Times Book ReviewWinner of the Pulitzer Prize

記得自己是在譯文的廣告裏看到這本書的,於是上網找到電子版,先是讀瞭一半,之後又把電影看瞭遍,覺得故事不錯,於是接著把剩下的半本看完瞭。 對比著電影,小說還是更豐滿的,不過在結尾的時候電影比小說簡練,更有意味。 And although the farm and all of its gifts and b...
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,...

評分隻是對這套係列叢書很感興趣,所以就藉來看瞭....太平緩瞭..放下再讀讀瞭又放下..沒有吸引力..最後磕磕絆絆算看完瞭吧...不太喜歡..美國的農村也有城鄉差距..最不喜歡的是裏麵的感情糾葛..也理解不瞭亂倫...看之前要做好心理準備...可能我的期望有點兒高..所以會有失望...
