书籍介绍
At a time of mystery and cruelty ... in an ancient land of breathtaking beauty and exotic surprise ... a courageous woman triumphs over her world's ultimate tragedy.

Behind the garden walls of the House of Chang, pampered daughter Spring Moon is born into luxury and privilege. But the tempests of change sweep her into a new world -- one of hardship, turmoil, and heartbreak, one that threatens to destroy her husband, her family, and her darkest secret love. Through a tumultuous lifetime, Spring Moon must cling to her honor, to the memory of a time gone by, and to a destiny, foretold at her birth, that has yet to be fulfilled.

找了本81版初版的读,书底是作者大幅肖像,容貌和文笔都比Amy Tan 高不知道哪去了
在中国旧时大家族中长大的春月经历的一切。
#春月#读完了,前面的章节好看一些,后面的估计没有一手资料,写得就相对脸谱化。倒是想读她的自传了,包柏漪的生辰八字不是一般的好。
A novel about a Chinese family so elegantly written! 英文写的一个充满中式美感的故事,哭着笑着,仿佛跟着苏州的张家五代人经历了晚清到文革各种vicissitudes. 最打动我的是春月和叔叔的恋情。传统思想不能接受的不伦,发生在他们身上却有一种delicate beauty,有可遇不可求,可及不可留的凄凉美。故事里几乎每个人都在make sacrifice, for the principles upheld, for dignity of being a person, for the honour of the clan.
