具体描述
Not since Wild Swans has Chinese history been so intimately encountered - through the stories of four sisters born between 1907 and 1914, a renowned historian examines a century of extraordinary change in Chinese culture and in women's lives. Now in their late eighties and early nineties, the four Chang sisters lived through a century of historic change in China. In this extraordinary work, assembled with the benefit of letters, diaries, family histories, poetry, journals and interviews, Annping Chin shapes the story of one family into a riveting chronicle that provides a unique insight into the old China and its transition into the new. From their father, the Chang sisters inherited reason and a belief in the virtues of modern education. From their mother they learned about the human spirit and the art of finding an appropriate path. The nurse-nannies - uneducated widows from the Hofei countryside - contributed their own opinions on modern ways. As the sisters grow up, one breaks with tradition to marry an actor, another marries one of China's greatest novelists; another, raised by her devout Buddhist grandaunt, is taught to be a rigorous practitioner of China's classical arts. The Chang sisters' prolific correspondence provides an intimate glimpse of private life, as well as a chronicle of the developments of the twentieth century, from prosperity to persecution, from foreign wars to Cultural Revolution. Four Sisters of Hofei is an intensely personal and sweeping story that illustrates the complex history of a complex culture.

读后感
无疑，“合肥四姐妹”是一个很能引人注意的书名。瞧见的读者或许会联想到前些年的几本书《小姐集》、《上海的金枝玉叶》等等，或许还会有人记起被誉为“上海女人指南”的《长恨歌》。不过，书翻了近一半，却不由得地怀疑自己捧错了书。细细想来，如此奇异的阅读体验，还拜这个...
评分几年前读的《张家旧事》更像回忆录，近期读的《合肥四姐妹》则为纪录片。 母亲从扬州嫁至合肥，与父亲相敬如宾，生养众多儿女，给他们富足的生活条件、贴身的服侍保姆、良好的教育资源。孩子们逐渐长大成人，个个优雅淡然，有大家风范。 读的时候，经常感叹教育的重要性。 合肥...
评分关乎命运，真的要从大处着手。 在人生最重要的关口，选择去留时，反倒是柔弱的人，最敏感，最正确。 元和的百无一用的丈夫，坚定去台湾，甚至宁可不要妻儿。 三三的沈从文也是，预见到了自己的命运，只是晚了。（话说三三这个人没太看懂，不止冷的很，连想法也怪，不像那家人...
评分这事其实挺个性化的，元和一辈子跟女儿没见过一面但觉得自己很幸福，允和嫁给了谦谦君子但也为家庭的琐事烦恼，而兆和，我认为沈从文娶她的确是喝道了甜酒，最小的充和，正应了伍尔芙所说”有自己的一件屋“，她的一生的确是中西合璧的，但她幸福吗，她在自述中没有提。...
评分2006年9月16日 这周总算能按计划行事，周二就将下周的课备好，余下来的三天里，得以专心读些书，想些问题。于是也终于将拖了良久的两本书读完：Gail Lee Bernstein所著之Isami’s House，和金安平所著之《合肥四姊妹》。两书皆为家族史，又都是大学教授所写，所以我以为会对我...
