The author of Bird in Hand and The Way Life Should Be delivers her most ambitious and powerful novel to date: a captivating story of two very different women who build an unexpected friendship: a 91-year-old woman with a hidden past as an orphan-train rider and the teenage girl whose own troubled adolescence leads her to seek answers to questions no one has ever thought to ask.
Nearly eighteen, Molly Ayer knows she has one last chance. Just months from "aging out" of the child welfare system, and close to being kicked out of her foster home, a community service position helping an elderly woman clean out her home is the only thing keeping her out of juvie and worse.
Vivian Daly has lived a quiet life on the coast of Maine. But in her attic, hidden in trunks, are vestiges of a turbulent past. As she helps Vivian sort through her possessions and memories, Molly discovers that she and Vivian aren't as different as they seem to be. A young Irish immigrant orphaned in New York City, Vivian was put on a train to the Midwest with hundreds of other children whose destinies would be determined by luck and chance.
The closer Molly grows to Vivian, the more she discovers parallels to her own life. A Penobscot Indian, she, too, is an outsider being raised by strangers, and she, too, has unanswered questions about the past. As her emotional barriers begin to crumble, Molly discovers that she has the power to help Vivian find answers to mysteries that have haunted her for her entire life - answers that will ultimately free them both.
Rich in detail and epic in scope, Orphan Train is a powerful novel of upheaval and resilience, of second chances, of unexpected friendship, and of the secrets we carry that keep us from finding out who we are.

读后感
生活中常常显示出某种复杂性：有些人和事情很简单，简单到了觉得实在不应该那样简单，但果真就那样简单；有些人和事情看上去是那样，但仔细了解之后，或者接触到更多的细节，才发现并不是那么回事，故事的背后还会有故事。生于英国、长在美国，备受欧美读者喜爱的小说家克里斯...
评分或许让每个人选择自己生命中最重要的东西，结果都会不同，钱财、宁静还是亲情，还是自己缺失过的东西呢？可惜命运从来不会给人选择的机会。而这个世界也远不是人们想象中的天堂。 就如瘦弱的小姑娘妮芙，她在九岁的时候，人生大幕早早拉开，她不断颠簸在旅程上，轮船、火车、汽...

如果不是drama课演过里面的小女孩也不会想起去了解美国20世纪初orphan train riders的故事和历史 the mobility, the rootlessness, the yearning for belonging.
评分"I am ninety-one years old, and almost everyone who was once in my life is now a ghost. Sometimes these spirits have been more real to me than people, more real than God."这会是一种什么感觉啊！
评分两位忘年的女性，因为同样的孤儿身份而有了交集和共鸣，两条时间线索在相互穿插、交融。人性的真伪在字里行间迸发，值得一读。
评分觉得女猪脚的悲剧命运到这就结束了吧，但是下一章总是在刷新我的认知。。有一些很喜欢的段落，有一些合上书页唏嘘的段落，有一些觉得历经世事后的淡定。如果有一天我也90岁了，希望我也能拥有一些宁静
评分时隔八十年，横跨两个时代的离合悲欢，从爱尔兰、印度到美国，全球化下的移民命运，都在作者细腻的笔触下延展开来。虽然觉得开篇的苍凉凄惶，在下半段被赶进度似的叙事节奏影响，但总的来说，架构成熟，文笔优美简洁，很喜欢。
