"A few months before I left Australia I got a letter from the bush signed 'Miles Franklin, ' saying that the writer had written a novel, but knew nothing of editors and publishers, and asking me to read and advise. Something about the letter, which was written in a strong original hand, attracted me, so I sent for the MS., and one dull afternoon I started to read it. I hadn't read three pages when I saw what you will no doubt see at once--that the story had been written by a girl. And as I went on I saw that the work was Australian--born of the bush. I don't know about the girlishly emotional parts of the book--I leave that to girl readers to judge; but the descriptions of bush life and scenery came startlingly, painfully real to me, and I know that, as far as they are concerned, the book is true to Australia--the truest I ever read. I wrote to Miles Franklin, and she confessed that she was a girl. I saw her before leaving Sydney. She is just a little bush girl, barely twenty-one yet, and has scarcely ever been out of the bush in her life. She has lived her book, and I feel proud of it for the sake of the country I came from, where people toil and bake and suffer and are kind; where every second sun-burnt bushman is a sympathetic humorist, with the sadness of the bush deep in his eyes and a brave grin for the worst of times, and where every third bushman is a poet, with a big heart that keeps his pockets empty." --Henry Lawson, 1901

結尾一擊還是迴味無窮的 前麵鋪陳的戀愛看齣瞭簡愛的感覺 不同就在給瞭一個真實的結局
評分第一次接觸澳大利亞文學,直擊心靈的力量。每一章的標題都很棒,類似I remember, I remember. 熱情,自由,奔放,很土著。讀的時候被一段寫周圍人麻木生活和自己生活的陳述感動得說不齣話,我相信當他們年輕時都曾做過夢。"Torture, torture! This is my life--my career--my brilliant career!"(大概首尾句是這樣)
評分There is no plot in this story,because there has been none in my life./Australian bush girl:“Was I alway,always,always to live here, and never,never,never to go back to Btuggabrong?”不情願搬傢到一個bitter disappointment地,一個少女的psychological process很生動瞭/a lifeless life:those men,like every one else,only talked shop.
