"In her stunning memoir, Kelly Sundberg examines the heart-breaking bonds of love, detailing her near decade-long marriage’s slide into horrific abuse. Sundberg shares her own confusions, fears and empathy for her violent husband, even as she comes to realize he will never change. This is an immensely courageous story that will break your heart, leave you in tears, and, finally, offer hope and redemption. Brava, Kelly Sundberg."—Rene Denfeld, author of The Child Finder
"A fierce, frightening, soulful reckoning—Goodbye, Sweet Girl is an expertly rendered memoir that investigates why we stay in relationships that hurt us, and how we survive when we leave them. Kelly Sundberg is a force. She has written the rare book that has the power to change lives."—Christa Parravani, author of Her: A Memoir
In this brave and beautiful memoir, written with the raw honesty and devastating openness of The Glass Castle and The Liar’s Club, a woman chronicles how her marriage devolved from a love story into a shocking tale of abuse—examining the tenderness and violence entwined in the relationship, why she endured years of physical and emotional pain, and how she eventually broke free.
"You made me hit you in the face," he said mournfully. "Now everyone is going to know." "I know," I said. "I’m sorry."
Kelly Sundberg’s husband, Caleb, was a funny, warm, supportive man and a wonderful father to their little boy Reed. He was also vengeful and violent. But Sundberg did not know that when she fell in love, and for years told herself he would get better. It took a decade for her to ultimately accept that the partnership she desired could not work with such a broken man. In her remarkable book, she offers an intimate record of the joys and terrors that accompanied her long, difficult awakening, and presents a haunting, heartbreaking glimpse into why women remain too long in dangerous relationships.
To understand herself and her violent marriage, Sundberg looks to her childhood in Salmon, a small, isolated mountain community known as the most redneck town in Idaho. Like her marriage, Salmon is a place of deep contradictions, where Mormon ranchers and hippie back-to-landers live side-by-side; a place of magical beauty riven by secret brutality; a place that takes pride in its individualism and rugged self-sufficiency, yet is beholden to church and communal standards at all costs.
Mesmerizing and poetic, Goodbye, Sweet Girl is a harrowing, cautionary, and ultimately redemptive tale that brilliantly illuminates one woman’s transformation as she gradually rejects the painful reality of her violent life at the hands of the man who is supposed to cherish her, begins to accept responsibility for herself, and learns to believe that she deserves better.

這部作品的敘事節奏把握得相當到位,讀起來一點都不拖遝,仿佛一列全速前進的列車,載著讀者疾馳過那些精心鋪設的場景和人物關係。作者的筆觸細膩而富有張力,尤其擅長描繪那種潛藏在日常錶象下的暗流湧動。我印象最深的是主角在麵對一係列突發事件時的那種近乎本能的反應,那種在壓力下人性復雜麵的展現,讓人不禁拍案叫絕。書中對環境的細緻刻畫,特彆是那些帶有強烈地域特色的景物描寫,幾乎能讓我聞到空氣中的氣味,感受到陽光的溫度。每一個配角的塑造都非常立體,他們並非單純的工具人,而是有著自己清晰的動機和掙紮,即使是稍縱即逝的露麵,也留下瞭深刻的印記。整體來看,這是一次非常流暢且引人入勝的閱讀體驗,情節環環相扣,每一次以為猜到瞭結局,都會被作者巧妙地引嚮一個更深層次的迷霧之中。那種酣暢淋灕的感覺,真不是一般的作品能給予的。
评分這本書的整體氛圍營造得極其成功,它不像那種喧囂熱鬧的故事,更像是在夜深人靜時,獨自麵對一扇緊閉的門,你需要鼓起勇氣去推開它。作者對節奏的掌控,特彆是情緒的遞進,處理得非常老道。高潮部分的描寫,不是靠聲光電的堆砌,而是通過人物情感的瞬間爆發和環境的驟然變化來體現,衝擊力十足卻又保持著一種剋製的優雅。我個人覺得,這本書在主題的延展性上做得非常齣色,它講述瞭一個具體的故事,但其內涵卻可以延伸到對社會結構、階級固化乃至時間本質的思考。閱讀過程中,我多次停下來,不是因為讀不懂,而是因為需要時間來消化其中蘊含的哲理和隱喻。這是一部需要細細品味、值得反復閱讀的佳作,它留給讀者的思考空間,遠遠大於故事本身所呈現的內容。
评分我必須承認,最初被這本書吸引,是衝著它那看似平靜實則暗藏洶湧的開篇。它不像那些傳統的懸疑小說那樣上來就拋齣重磅炸彈,而是像一位技藝高超的魔術師,用極其生活化的場景來布局,讓你在不知不覺中就深陷其中。作者對於內心獨白的運用達到瞭爐火純青的地步,那種細微的心理活動,那種自我懷疑與堅持之間的拉扯,被刻畫得入木三分,讓人感同身受,仿佛書中的角色就是我們身邊那個最熟悉又最陌生的人。語言風格上,這本書呈現齣一種獨特的、略帶疏離感的冷靜,但在關鍵情節爆發時,又能瞬間轉為激昂澎湃,這種張弛有度的處理方式,極大地提升瞭閱讀的層次感。而且,書中關於某些職業細節的描摹,顯示齣作者做瞭相當深入的研究,使得故事的說服力大大增強,絕非空穴來風的虛構。
评分說實話,這本書的開篇差點讓我放棄,因為它給人的第一印象是略顯沉悶的鋪墊,但這絕對是一個巨大的“陷阱”。一旦熬過瞭最初的幾章,等待你的將是如同冰層融化般逐漸顯現的真相,每深入一層,都會帶來新的震撼。我非常欣賞作者在塑造人物性格上的“反差萌”,那些外錶看似堅不可摧的角色,其內心深處往往藏著最柔軟的傷口和最強烈的渴望。這種對人性陰暗麵的挖掘與對微小光芒的捕捉並存的手法,讓整個故事充滿瞭厚重感和真實感。此外,本書的對話設計堪稱一絕,颱詞精煉有力,充滿潛颱詞,很多重要的信息和情緒,都是在人物你來我往的隻言片語中傳遞齣來的,需要讀者集中注意力去體會,絕對不是可以“走神”的作品。
评分讀完閤上書本的那一刻,我感受到的不是故事結束的失落,而是一種被徹底滌蕩過心靈的震撼。這本書最成功的一點,在於它對“選擇”這一主題的深刻探討。書中人物做齣的每一個決定,看似偶然,實則都是過去種種經曆積纍的必然結果。作者沒有給齣一個簡單的“好”與“壞”的道德評判,而是將選擇的重量以一種近乎殘酷的真實感擺在瞭我們麵前。那些關於成長、關於責任的探討,都包裹在緊湊的敘事綫索之下,不顯說教,卻字字珠璣。特彆值得稱贊的是,作者在處理多綫敘事時,展現齣瞭驚人的掌控力,不同時間綫和人物視角之間的切換自然流暢,非但沒有造成閱讀障礙,反而編織齣一張更加宏大且復雜的圖景。這種復雜的結構美學,是許多作傢窮其一生也難以企及的高度。
