The only novel from Alice Munro-award-winning author of The Love of a Good Woman --is an insightful, honest book, "autobiographical in form but not in fact," that chronicles a young girl's growing up in rural Ontario in the 1940's.
Del Jordan lives out at the end of the Flats Road on her father's fox farm, where her most frequent companions are an eccentric bachelor family friend and her rough younger brother. When she begins spending more time in town, she is surrounded by women-her mother, an agnostic, opinionted woman who sells encyclopedias to local farmers; her mother's boarder, the lusty Fern Dogherty; and her best friend, Naomi, with whom she shares the frustrations and unbridled glee of adolescence.
Through these unwitting mentors and in her own encounters with sex, birth, and death, Del explores the dark and bright sides of womanhood. All along she remains a wise, witty observer and recorder of truths in small-town life. The result is a powerful, moving, and humorous demonstration of Alice Munro's unparalleled awareness of the lives of girls and women.

4.5 同樣是串連的結構,不及後期的Beggar Maid,但最後中長篇Baptizing真的很厲害,那種慾望與控制之間的微妙失衡,還有最後女主角意識到自己雖然考試考爛了,但和男朋友分手彷彿是從夢境醒來回到現實,才明白標題洗禮所指的是什麼。好歹讀了11本門羅,慣用的暗喻和符號對老粉來說簡直再也熟悉不過,不變的依然是對我行我素不懂小鎮人情世故的母親的愛恨交加。開篇的鄰居怪叔叔最輕鬆,以小孩的角度看娶...4.5 同樣是串連的結構,不及後期的Beggar Maid,但最後中長篇Baptizing真的很厲害,那種慾望與控制之間的微妙失衡,還有最後女主角意識到自己雖然考試考爛了,但和男朋友分手彷彿是從夢境醒來回到現實,才明白標題洗禮所指的是什麼。好歹讀了11本門羅,慣用的暗喻和符號對老粉來說簡直再也熟悉不過,不變的依然是對我行我素不懂小鎮人情世故的母親的愛恨交加。開篇的鄰居怪叔叔最輕鬆,以小孩的角度看娶妻鬧劇,亮點卻在大叔到城市尋妻時那段迷惘的經歷/Heirs of the Living Body和Princess Ida以女兒的角度寫不甘平凡母親和深居簡出的小姑之間隱約的矛盾/Epilogue在現實中拜訪那間她投射自己的創作幻想的房屋和那句Yes,她終於意識到年輕人的自命不凡是多麼高傲又幼稚(展开)
重读觉得还是很牛,Munro大概是那种会不断打破你expectations的写作者,密密麻麻的线头你永远也不知道下一个会穿到哪里却又在隐蔽处漏出针脚。祷告在Age of Faith里刺破Owen的温情与女孩的羞耻与信仰,而Baptized里重现power之后女孩的deceitful offerings。最后一篇是写作素材与真实生活的相撞,要如何写尽历史里的accuracy?
