Ruth is a self-sufficient woman who makes her living as a ghostwriter for self-help books. She lives with her long-term boyfriend, Art Kamen, and acts as a stepmother to Art's two teenage daughters from a previous marriage, Dory and Fia. Meanwhile, as LuLing is showing signs of dementia, Ruth struggles to juggle her mother's illness, her job, and her relationship. As an adult, Ruth struggles to understand her mother and her strange behavior during Ruth's childhood. Although she loves her mother, she also resents her for having criticized her harshly when she was young and forcing her to obey strict rules. LuLing believed that young Ruth had the ability to communicate with the spirit world, and often expected her to produce messages from the ghost of LuLing's long-dead nursemaid, Precious Auntie, by writing on a sand tray.

LuLing's autobiography makes up the middle section of the book. This story within a story describes LuLing's early life in a small Chinese village called Immortal Heart. LuLing is raised by a mute, burned nursemaid called "Precious Auntie." It is later revealed that Precious Auntie sustained her injuries by swallowing burning ink resin. Although the oldest daughter in her family, LuLing is ignored by her mother in favor of her younger sister GaoLing. However, Precious Auntie was entirely devoted to caring for LuLing.

LuLing's story goes further back, describing Precious Auntie's childhood as the daughter of a local bonesetter. The teen-aged Precious Auntie is the only person who knows the location of a hidden cave where many ancient "dragon bones" can be found, knowledge that she retains even after being burned and coming to live with LuLing's family. After the discovery of the Peking Man, fossilized bones and information about where they might be found becomes extremely valuable. A local family, the Changs, wish to arrange a marriage between LuLing and their son Fu Nan because they believe that LuLing can lead them to the fossil cave. LuLing's family approves of the marriage, but Precious Auntie violently opposes it. Unable to speak in detail, she writes LuLing a long letter explaining her reasons, but LuLing does not read it to its end.

Only after Precious Auntie's death does LuLing learn that her nursemaid was actually her mother, and that the woman she had thought to be her mother is actually her father's sister. After Precious Auntie's death, GaoLing marries Fu Nan and LuLing is sent away to a Christian orphanage where she completes her education, grows up and becomes a teacher. Here, she meets her first husband, Pan Kai Jing. LuLing lives in the orphanage as a teacher through World War II, often going to extreme lengths to protect the students from the Japanese soldiers and other dangers. A few years later she is reunited with GaoLing. The two "sisters" immigrate to America separately and marry a pair of brothers, Edmund and Edwin. LuLing's second husband dies from a hit and run accident when Ruth was two years old.

Ruth struggles growing up as the child of a single parent who believes in curses. Once Ruth learns the details of her mother's past, she gains a new understanding of her and her seemingly erratic behavior. Answers to both women's problems unfold as LuLing's story is finally revealed in its entirety

比《喜福会》更能打动我,因为叙述母女三代的故事情感比较集中,不像前者叙述好几对母女的故事太分散。 小说结构明了,第一部分是露丝与茹灵的现代美国生活,看得挺痛苦因为没有家庭生活的代入感,种种琐碎小事略略读过,但是埋下了许多关于陈年往事的坑。第二部分是茹灵为第一...

看这部书总联想到张小姐写的《金锁记》同一个时代多少会带有那个时代的烙印。这个主人公和曹七巧有一样的作劲,但是总的来说还算是个可爱多。中国人大都对孩子的是“食指”教育--骂你是爱的表现;老外提倡“拇指”教育--鼓励赞扬。坏的好的,总是自觉或不自觉地把事情等先进行...

有些时候,我们为什么会去伤害那些其实是我们深深爱着的人呢?因为爱之深,望之切。但其实,每个孩子都是想逃离家人特别是母亲护冀下的叛逆子,不论父母有多么多的经验和教育,那些都是他们的,而不是孩子自己的经验。孩子与父母间的角力有时候容易化解,有时候却会犯下致使的...

如果问我最爱的作家是谁?我不会像互联网上广大的装逼侠那样,搬出卡尔维诺,博尔赫斯......他们的作品也拜读过,也是各位欣赏,只是我的“爱”太轻,这些大师的杰作承载着历史与时代的反省与深刻记忆,我涉世未深的体会能力仅限于膜拜。 我最爱的作家,是谭恩美。 记得高...
