A major novel from the internationally bestselling author of The Joy Luck Club, The Kitchen God's Wife and The Hundred Secret Senses. LuLing Young is now in her eighties, and finally beginning to feel the effects of old age. Trying to hold on to the evaporating past, she begins to write down all that she can remember of her life as a girl in China. Meanwhile, her daughter Ruth, a ghostwriter for authors of self-help books, is losing the ability to speak up for herself in front of the man she lives with. LuLing can only look on, helpless: her prickly relationship with her daughter does not make it easy to discuss such matters. In turn, Ruth has begun to suspect that something is wrong with her mother: she says so many confusing and contradictory things. Ruth decides to move in with her ailing mother, and while tending to her discovers the story LuLing wrote in Chinese, of her tumultuous life growing up in a remote mountain village known as Immortal Heart. LuLing tells of the secrets passed along by her mute nursemaid, Precious Auntie; of a cave where dragon bones are mined and where Peking Man was discovered; of the crumbling ravine known as the End of the World, where Precious Auntie's bones lie, and of the curse that LuLing believes she released through betrayal. Like layers of sediment being removed, each page unfolds into an even greater mystery: Who was Precious Auntie, whose suicide changed the path of LuLing's life?Set in contemporary San Francisco and pre-war China, The Bonesetter's Daughter is an excavation of the human spirit. With great warmth and humour, Amy Tan gives us a mesmerising story of a mother and daughter discovering together that what they share in their bones through history and heredity is priceless beyond measure.
美国华裔女作家,自1989年发表成名作《喜福会》以来,早已超越了一位少数民族或者流行小说家的身份,成为美国乃至于西方的最为著名的一流作家之一。
《接骨师之女》是谭恩美的第四部小说,延续了《喜福会》的母女情感模式和平实流畅的叙述风格,从内容来看,这仍是一部讲述华裔移民故事的小说。这类小说往往由三种叙事构成:一是第一代移民讲述或转述的、发生在母文化社会中的、富有传奇色彩的家族故事,二是第一代移民以...
评分 评分虽然都是谭恩美描写的母女情愫,接骨师之女的着力点显然要比喜福会的更具普遍性。没有把母女间矛盾吵闹描画得隽永唯美,反而让这对母女接着地气,互相嫌弃地斗了半辈子法。 女儿眼中的母亲,都在少女时期那么不可理喻,难以忍受却又缺不了,真是让人恨极了。直到长大,包着成...
评分第一次接触移民文学,我所感兴趣的还是中间部分,人物在中国历史背景下的命运。书的整体脉络很清晰,但语言、思维的美国化太明显。 谁都有秘密。那些真相该被尊重,也该被挖掘。 我像如意一样,寻求骨子里的性格根源。常常往事也会猛的袭来,心里一平空荡,像有...
It’s a delicious page-turner that full of tragedies, magic, loves and heartbreaks, keeping me guessing and crying. Everyone should respect the unique way his/her mom guides him/her to see the world. I love my mom more after reading this book.
