When Jasmine is suddenly widowed at seventeen, she seems fated to a life of quiet isolation in the small Indian village where she was born. But the force of Jasmine's desires propels her explosively into a larger, more dangerous, and ultimately more life-giving world. In just a few years, Jasmine becomes Jane Ripplemeyer, happily pregnant by a middle-aged Iowa banker and the adoptive mother of a Vietnamese refugee. Jasmine's metamorphosis, with its shocking upheavals and its slow evolutionary steps, illuminates the making of an American mind; but even more powerfully, her story depicts the shifting contours of an America being transformed by her and others like her - our new neighbors, friends, and lovers. In Jasmine, Bharati Mukherjee has created a heroine as exotic and unexpected as the many worlds in which she lives. "Rich...one of the most suggestive novels we have about what it is to become an American." - The New York Times Book Review

We murder who we were so we can rebirth ourselves in the images of dreams. 撇去post-colonialism, post-colonial feminism, cultural identity等相關的不談。 這確實是一個心機婊踩著不同的男人成長的故事....
评分Assigned book of my class. This book doesn’t agree with me.
评分stupid book.
评分我或許沒有真正讀懂這本書，裏麵需要印度教方麵的文化背景。
评分略怪，但是很好看。她換瞭多少個名字，就過瞭多少個人生。
