When the Rajasekharan family's rubber-plantation servant girl is dismissed for unnamed crimes, it is only the latest in a series of precipitous losses that have shaken six-year-old Aasha's life. In the space of several weeks her grandmother passed away under mysterious circumstances, and Uma, her older sister, left for Columbia University, forever. Aasha is left stranded in a family, and a country, slowly going to pieces. Circling through years of family history to arrive at the moment of Uma's departure, Evening is the Whole Day illuminates in heartbreaking detail one Indian immigrant family's layers of secrets and lies, while exposing the complex underbelly of Malaysia itself. Sweeping in scope, exuberantly lyrical and masterfully constructed, Preeta Samarasan's debut is a mesmerizing and vital achievement, perfect as a reading group selection, and sure to earn her a place alongside Arundhati Roy and Zadie Smith.

评分对叙事顺序对时间的操控让真相揭露的那一刻格外有力震撼,几种时态的交错运用不断提醒我注意他们个人的无奈懊悔以及背后的历史反思。我喜欢的是书中人碎碎叨叨不断推脱不是自己的错,而六岁的小女孩作为unreliable narrator为读者的评判又多加一层混乱,但我们依然要去判断和评判。我们习惯说大环境下每一个人都是受害者,一切是制度是结构的问题,但是忘记每一个人都依然有选择的权利,这是乱世之下更值得珍重的权利。
评分过于melodrama,又over-descriptive,看的时候很难不因为啰嗦和故弄玄虚而感到无聊。/ “读过”里一定大部分是我的直系(。
