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.

“我”和Naomi友情的变淡的故事让我思考了关于我朋友的一些事,或许某一天当我的朋友也向Naomi那样settle down了,我或许也会失去我的朋友了吧。整本书很门罗,没有太多情节的波动,最具故事性的一篇Baptizing反而令我感到有些套路了(虽然尤其是两人在河边最终分手的场景和心理活动的描写都很棒)。我最喜欢的还是开篇的the flats road以及princess ida。age of ... “我”和Naomi友情的变淡的故事让我思考了关于我朋友的一些事,或许某一天当我的朋友也向Naomi那样settle down了,我或许也会失去我的朋友了吧。整本书很门罗,没有太多情节的波动,最具故事性的一篇Baptizing反而令我感到有些套路了(虽然尤其是两人在河边最终分手的场景和心理活动的描写都很棒)。我最喜欢的还是开篇的the flats road以及princess ida。age of faith探讨了宗教信仰的话题,因为我对这个话题从来没有过兴趣所以觉得这篇有些无聊。读完了这本之后有一种感觉,可能这么说有点cliche:或许这就是成长的过程吧 (展开)

加拿大女性主义作品中很不喜欢的一部,男性的脸谱化、丑恶化、反面化,和女性完全对立

藏在整页整页环境描写里的私密性,即使是写冬天也像有闷热的水蒸汽。
