The only novel from Alice Munro-award-winning author of The Love of a Good Woman --is an insightful, honest book, "autobiographical in form but not in fact," that chronicles a young girl's growing up in rural Ontario in the 1940's.
Del Jordan lives out at the end of the Flats Road on her father's fox farm, where her most frequent companions are an eccentric bachelor family friend and her rough younger brother. When she begins spending more time in town, she is surrounded by women-her mother, an agnostic, opinionted woman who sells encyclopedias to local farmers; her mother's boarder, the lusty Fern Dogherty; and her best friend, Naomi, with whom she shares the frustrations and unbridled glee of adolescence.
Through these unwitting mentors and in her own encounters with sex, birth, and death, Del explores the dark and bright sides of womanhood. All along she remains a wise, witty observer and recorder of truths in small-town life. The result is a powerful, moving, and humorous demonstration of Alice Munro's unparalleled awareness of the lives of girls and women.

看这本书是去柬埔寨旅行的路上,看似与旅行毫无关系的书,却最终构成了我完美的旅行。 这是一本讲述从女孩变成女人的书。精准的描述了一个女孩儿的心理和生理如何朝一个女人转变的。它并非如同迪斯尼动画那般纯美,满满的“正能量”,而是充满了阴暗、孤独、乖张、刻薄、冷淡…...
评分2013年,加拿大女作家艾丽丝·门罗获得了诺贝尔文学奖,此时她已经白发苍苍,82岁高龄。照片中的她面带着微笑,慈祥又温柔亲切。1971年,40岁的艾丽丝出版了《女孩和女人们的生活》,描写细腻、精准,故事中的孤独、茫然、刻薄、冷淡和孤注一掷,透过文字与我相遇。 那些女孩...
评分书名比较吸引人,想着门罗会怎么展开;但没有读她的其他短篇时的酣畅感,甚至有点艰涩。通过戴尔的视角,描述一个女孩成长过程中对诸多主题的观察和思考,每个短篇集中于她生活中的一个人或故事,但读起来仍然觉得有点乱。门罗在文中不经意间就说出一些比较精准的语言,恰当地...
评分 评分门罗早期的小说,不太进得去
评分The kind of writing one pauses to savour before moving to the next sentence. Rich, plain, introspective and beautiful.
评分started in beijing and finished in taiwan. so good, relished every word.
评分这是我读的第八本Munro的小说。最喜欢她写家族的那些看似漠然的亲情。平实的故事平实的语言,却让人潸然泪下,久久不能平静。
