Recalling the fiction of Harper Lee and Carson McCullers, here is a funny, poignant, and utterly genuine first novel from a major new talent.
The summer Opal and her father, the preacher, move to Naomi, Florida, Opal goes into the Winn-Dixie supermarket--and comes out with a dog. A big, ugly, suffering dog with a sterling sense of humor. A dog she dubs Winn-Dixie. Because of Winn-Dixie, the preacher tells Opal ten things about her absent mother, one for each year Opal has been alive. Winn-Dixie is better at making friends than anyone Opal has ever known, and together they meet the local librarian, Miss Franny Block, who once fought off a bear with a copy of WAR AND PEACE. They meet Gloria Dump, who is nearly blind but sees with her heart, and Otis, an ex-con who sets the animals in his pet shop loose after hours, then lulls them with his guitar.Opal spends all that sweet summer collecting stories about her new friends and thinking about her mother. But because of Winn-Dixie or perhaps because she has grown, Opal learns to let go, just a little, and that friendship--and forgiveness--can sneak up on you like a sudden summer storm.
“That girl I told you about, the pinch-faced one?Amanda?Well,her brother drowned last year. He was only five years old,the same age asSweetie Pie Thomas."
Gloria stopped smiling.She nodded her head.“I remember hearing about that,”she said.“Iremember hearing about a little drowned boy."
“That's why Amanda is so pinch--faced,.”I said.“She misses her brother.”
“Most likely,,”Gloria agreed.
"Do you think everybody misses somebody?Like I miss my mama?”
“Mmmm-hmmm,”said Gloria.She closed hereyes."I believe,sometimes,that the whole world has an aching heart."
I couldn't stand to think about sad things thatcouldn't be helped any more,so I said,"Do you want to hear some more Gone with the Wind?" (查看原文)

后半段渐渐和狗狗没有太多联系，但不失为一个苦乐参半的好故事。小主人公是个早熟又隐忍的女孩，整本书就是她一边对着不会说话的Winn-Dixie喃喃自语，一边从过去的阴霾中走出来。

6.27开始阅读 小学高年级或初中入门阅读，很好读，故事也很温馨，治愈。 我们内心之所以会空虚，是因为孤独，缺少爱，所以要有兴趣爱好，有社交活动，有一堆朋友，有事情做，能忙碌起来。

阅读全程哈特软软，尤其喜欢大篇幅对狗狗摇尾巴抽鼻子的描写，一看就知道作者是资深养狗人。

来美国后完整读完的第一本书，因为很简单又薄，读完给自己很大信心，就算给自己的心理暗示了，忽略难度情况下我竟然能读完一整本英文书，哈哈哈
