“Lydia is dead. But they don’t know this yet.” So begins this exquisite novel about a Chinese American family living in 1970s small-town Ohio. Lydia is the favorite child of Marilyn and James Lee, and her parents are determined that she will fulfill the dreams they were unable to pursue. But when Lydia’s body is found in the local lake, the delicate balancing act that has been keeping the Lee family together is destroyed, tumbling them into chaos. A profoundly moving story of family, secrets, and longing, Everything I Never Told You is both a gripping page-turner and a sensitive family portrait, uncovering the ways in which mothers and daughters, fathers and sons, and husbands and wives struggle, all their lives, to understand one another.

作者简介

精彩书评

Alexander Chee,?The New York Times Book Review:
“If we know this story, we haven’t seen it yet in American fiction, not until now… Ng has set two tasks in this novel’s doubled heart—to be exciting, and to tell a story bigger than whatever is behind the crime. She does both by turning the nest of familial resentments into at least four smaller, prickly mysteries full of secrets the family members won’t share… What emerges is a deep, heartfelt portrait of a family struggling with its place in history, and a young woman hoping to be the fulfillment of that struggle. This is, in the end, a novel about the burden of being the first of your kind—a burden you do not always survive.”

Los Angeles Times:
“Excellent…an accomplished debut… heart-wrenching…Ng deftly pulls together the strands of this complex, multigenerational novel.?Everything I Never Told You?is an engaging work that casts a powerful light on the secrets that have kept an American family together—and that finally end up tearing it apart.”

Boston Globe:
“Wonderfully moving…Emotionally precise…A beautifully crafted study of dysfunction and grief…[This book] will resonate with anyone who has ever had a family drama.”

San Francisco Chronicle:
“A subtle meditation on gender, race and the weight of one generation’s unfulfilled ambitions upon the shoulders—and in the heads—of the?next… Ng deftly and convincingly illustrates the degree to which some miscommunications can never quite be?rectified.”

O, The Oprah Magazine:
“Cleverly crafted, emotionally perceptive… Ng sensitively dramatizes issues of gender and race that lie at the heart of the story… Ng’s themes of assimilation are themselves deftly interlaced into a taut tale of ever deepening and quickening suspense.”?

Los Angeles Review of Books:
“Ng moves gracefully back and forth in time, into the aftermath of the tragedy as well as the distant past, and into the consciousness of each member of the family, creating a series of mysteries and revelations that lead back to the original question: what happened to Lydia?...Ng is masterful in her use of the omniscient narrator, achieving both a historical distance and visceral intimacy with each character’s struggles and failures…On the surface, Ng’s storylines are nothing new. There is a mysterious death, a family pulled apart by misunderstanding and grief, a struggle to fit into the norms of society, yet in the weaving of these threads she creates a work of ambitious complexity. In the end, this novel movingly portrays the burden of difference at a time when difference had no cultural value…Compelling.”

Entertainment Weekly:
“Both a propulsive mystery and a profound examination of a mixed-race family, Ng’s explosive debut chronicles the plight of Marilyn and James Lee after their favored daughter is found dead in a lake.”

Marie Claire:
“The mysterious circumstances of 16-year-old Lydia Lee’s tragic death have her loved ones wondering how, exactly, she spent her free time. This ghostly debut novel calls to mind?The Lovely Bones.”

Huffington Post:
“A powerhouse of a debut novel, a literary mystery crafted out of shimmering prose and precise, painful observation about racial barriers, the burden of familial expectations, and the basic human thirst for belonging… Ng’s novel grips readers from page one with the hope of unraveling the mystery behind Lydia’s death—and boy does it deliver, on every front.”

Chris Schluep,?Parade
“The first chapter of Celeste Ng’s debut novel is difficult—the oldest daughter in a family is dead—but what follows is a brilliantly written, surprisingly uplifting exploration of striving in the face of alienation and of the secrets we keep from others. This could be my favorite novel of the year.”

Kevin Nguyen, Grantland
“The emotional core of Celeste Ng’s debut is what sets it apart. The different ways in which the Lee family handles Lydia’s death create internal friction, and most impressive is the way Ng handles racial politics. With a deft hand, she loads and unpacks the implications of being the only Chinese American family in a small town in Ohio.”

Cleveland Plain-Dealer:
“Beautiful and poignant…. deftly drawn….It’s hard to believe that this is a debut novel for Celeste Ng. She tackles the themes of family dynamics, gender and racial stereotyping, and the weight of expectations, all with insight made more powerful through understatement. She has an exact, sophisticated touch with her prose. The sentences are straightforward. She evokes emotions through devastatingly detailed observations.”

Minneapolis Star Tribune:
“Perceptive…a skillful and moving portrayal of a family in pain…It is to Ng’s credit that it is sometimes difficult for the reader to keep going; the pain and unhappiness is palpable. But it is true to the Lees, and Ng tells all.”

St. Louis Post-Dispatch:
“Impressive… In its evocation of a time and place and society largely gone but hardly forgotten,?Everything I Never Told You?tells much that today’s reader should learn, ponder and appreciate.”

Amanda Nelson, Book Riot:
“On the surface, this is about a mixed-race Asian-American family dealing with and trying to solve the mysterious death of their favorite teenaged daughter in ‘70s Ohio (this isn’t a spoiler, it happens in the first sentence). What it’s really about all the ways we can be an ‘other’—in society, in our own marriages, in our jobs, and to our parents or children. It’s also about pressure—the pressure to be with people who are like ourselves, and to fit in, and to be everything our parents want us to be. It’s about giving up your career to become a wife and mother, and what that means and doesn’t mean. It’s about dealing with prejudice. It’s about secrets and happiness and misery, and all the things we never tell the people we love. It’s about everything, is what I’m saying, and not a single word is wasted or superfluous.”

前言/序言


《失落的信件:关于时间、记忆与未竟的承诺》 作者:艾米莉·卡特(Emily Carter) 主题:失落的家族史诗、跨越世代的秘密、身份的追寻与和解 装帧:精装典藏版 --- 内容梗概: 《失落的信件》是一部宏大而细腻的家族史诗,它以二十世纪初英国郊外的维多利亚式庄园“黑木堂”为起点,缓缓铺展开一段跨越百年的复杂纠葛。故事的核心,围绕着一叠在家族古董箱中被尘封近一个世纪的信件展开。这些信件,并非情书,而是关于财产继承、政治阴谋、以及一段被刻意抹去的历史的铁证。 故事的主人公是伊芙琳·里德(Evelyn Reed),一位在伦敦博物馆工作的青年档案管理员。伊芙琳的生活原本平静而有序,直到她意外继承了她素未谋面的曾祖母留下的黑木堂。在清理这座沉寂已久的庄园时,她发现了一个上锁的橡木箱。箱内,是数百封信件、日记残页和几张褪色的照片。这些资料揭示了一个她家族从未向外界透露的惊人真相:她的曾祖父,一位受人尊敬的实业家,可能并非他自称的那个人。 第一部分:尘封的过去 故事的叙事结构在两个时空之间穿梭。一头是伊芙琳在现代对这些信件的解读与重构;另一头,则是信件所记载的,1910年代至1930年代的爱德华时代晚期与两次世界大战间的动荡。 信件的主人是伊芙琳的曾祖母,塞拉菲娜·范恩(Seraphina Thorne)。塞拉菲娜是一位受过高等教育、充满反叛精神的女性,她与一位来自底层、充满野心的年轻律师亚瑟·里德(Arthur Reed)相爱。然而,他们的结合遭到了塞拉菲娜贵族家庭的强烈反对。信件记录了他们私奔的艰难,以及亚瑟如何一步步利用家族资源和政治关系,逐渐建立起一个庞大的商业帝国。 但信件也暗示了一种不安:亚瑟似乎在利用一些不光彩的手段获取信息和权力。塞拉菲娜的笔触从最初的狂热爱情,逐渐转向了深深的恐惧和道德上的挣扎。她发现,亚瑟的“成功”背后,隐藏着对一位重要商业伙伴的背叛,以及一桩可能导致多人身败名裂的金融丑闻。 第二部分:身份的裂痕 随着伊芙琳对信件的深入挖掘,她发现了一些关于自己家族起源的“拼图碎片”似乎并不对齐。信件中多次提到一个名叫“加布里埃尔”的人,他似乎是亚瑟事业的早期支持者,但后来与亚瑟决裂,并最终“神秘失踪”。 伊芙琳开始调查加布里埃尔的下落。她的探寻将她带入战后伦敦的阴影角落,那里充斥着旧时代的残余势力和对往事讳莫如深的沉默者。她结识了一位年迈的退休侦探,这位侦探曾参与过一桩与加布里埃尔失踪案相关的模糊调查。 在伊芙琳的追问下,侦探回忆起一些模糊的细节:加布里埃尔可能并非单纯的商业对手,他似乎掌握了亚瑟利用战争物资进行非法交易的证据。塞拉菲娜的信件也暗示了这一点——她曾试图阻止亚瑟,但最终被他的威胁所压倒。更令人不安的是,信件中有一段提到,亚瑟为了掩盖真相,可能采取了极端措施。 第三部分:记忆的重塑与和解 伊芙琳的调查不仅是对历史的还原,也是对自我身份的一次痛苦审视。她意识到,她一直以来敬仰的家族光环,建立在谎言和背叛之上。她必须决定,是揭露这段丑陋的历史,从而彻底摧毁家族的声誉,还是选择继续沉默,维持表面的平静。 故事的高潮发生在黑木堂的地下室。伊芙琳根据信件中的提示,找到了一处被水泥封死的壁橱。里面没有黄金或珠宝,只有一份被精心保管的遗嘱副本和一本日记——那是加布里埃尔的日记。 加布里埃尔的日记证实了最坏的猜测:亚瑟确实设计陷害了他,并将他软禁,最终导致了他的死亡。然而,日记的最后一页,却出乎意料地写下了一段忏悔。原来,在生命的最后时刻,亚瑟终于被良心折磨,他承认了自己的罪行,并将所有证据托付给了一位他信任的律师,要求在查无此人后公之于众。这份遗嘱被律师私自藏匿,因为他害怕卷入政治漩涡。 伊芙琳面临的最终抉择是:她是否应该将这份足以让里德家族彻底覆灭的真相公之于世?或者,她能否找到一种方式,既能纪念被遗忘的受害者,又能让这片承载了复杂情感的土地得到救赎? 小说以伊芙琳在黑木堂花园中,重新种植了塞拉菲娜年轻时最喜欢的鸢尾花作结。她没有选择彻底的毁灭,而是选择了一种艰难的“诚实”——她匿名将关键证据寄给了一家历史研究机构,让历史去裁决,而自己则选择留下来,用新的、更真实的故事来书写黑木堂的未来。 风格与深度: 《失落的信件》以其严谨的史料考证感和深沉的心理描写而著称。作者巧妙地运用了乔治·艾略特式的对社会道德的深刻剖析,以及杜穆里埃式的哥特式悬疑氛围。它探讨的主题超越了简单的家族秘密,深入触及了关于“真相的重量”、“世代间的道德责任”以及“记忆如何塑造个体认同”等深刻哲学命题。叙事语言流畅而富有韵律,历史场景的描绘细致入微,仿佛能闻到那个时代壁炉里燃烧的煤烟味和图书馆里旧书页的霉味。这是一部关于我们如何面对祖先留下的遗产,并决定自己将走向何方的动人作品。

用户评价

这本书给我留下了深刻的印象,它以一种非常细腻且感人的方式探索了家庭、秘密和爱。作者对人物内心的刻画入木三分,每一个角色的动机、挣扎以及他们内心深处的痛苦都描绘得淋漓尽致。我特别被其中一些场景所触动,那些看似微不足道的日常瞬间,却承载着沉甸甸的情感重量,让我忍不住在脑海中一遍遍地回味。叙事节奏的处理也很巧妙,故事并非一蹴而就,而是层层剥茧,引导读者一点点地拼凑出真相的全貌,这种悬念的营造让我在阅读过程中始终保持着高度的投入。语言的运用也十分优美,充满了诗意,即使是描述一些悲伤的场景,也依然能够感受到文字本身的力量和美感。这本书让我开始反思,在我们看似平静的生活下,可能隐藏着多少不为人知的秘密,以及这些秘密如何悄无声息地影响着我们与亲人的关系。它不仅仅是一个故事,更像是一面镜子,映照出人性的复杂和情感的脆弱。读完之后,我久久无法平静,脑海里充斥着书中的人物和他们所经历的一切,仿佛他们真实地存在于我的生活之中。

这本书给我留下了一段难以忘怀的阅读体验。作者以一种极为克制却又充满力量的方式,描绘了一个关于家庭、隐瞒和爱的故事。书中每一个人物的塑造都极其生动,他们的内心世界如同深邃的湖泊,表面平静,底下却暗流涌动,充满了复杂的爱恨交织。我特别被作者对细节的捕捉能力所折服,那些看似微不足道的日常片段,却承载着沉甸甸的情感,如同散落的珍珠,串联起整个故事的精髓。叙事手法也相当别致,它不像许多作品那样直白地铺陈,而是通过一种回溯和重构的方式,让真相一点点地浮现,这种“慢炖”式的叙事反而更能引发读者的思考和共鸣。语言的运用同样值得称赞,充满了诗意和画面感,即便是描绘痛苦,也带着一种静谧的美。这本书让我对“真相”以及它所能带来的影响有了更深的认识,同时也更加珍视人与人之间真诚的沟通。读完之后,我感到一种深刻的震撼,以及对作者叙事功力的由衷钦佩。

这本书给我带来了一次非常深刻的情感体验,它以一种极其细腻且动人的方式,揭示了家庭中隐藏的秘密以及这些秘密对人生的深远影响。作者在人物塑造方面下了很大的功夫,每一个角色都栩栩如生,他们的内心世界充满了挣扎、痛苦和爱,让读者能够感同身受。我特别被书中对母女关系的描写所打动,那种复杂的情感纠葛,既有深沉的爱,又有难以言说的隔阂,充满了张力。故事情节的展开方式也很精妙,它不是直白的叙述,而是通过一些碎片化的回忆和细节,慢慢地勾勒出一个完整的故事轮廓,让读者在阅读过程中不断地探索和发现。这种方式既保持了阅读的悬念,又让故事充满了层次感。书中的语言充满了诗意和力量,即使是描述一些悲伤的场景,也依然能够感受到文字本身的美感和情感的深度。这本书让我开始思考,在我们看似平静的生活之下,可能隐藏着多少不为人知的真相,以及这些真相如何悄无声息地改变着我们的人生轨迹。

评分

这是一部非常引人入胜的作品,它以一种独特的方式探讨了家庭关系中的沟通与隔阂。我尤其喜欢作者对人物心理的细致描摹,那些潜藏在表面之下的情感暗流被展现得淋漓尽致。每一个角色的行为背后都有着复杂的动机,作者并没有简单地将他们塑造成好人或坏人,而是展现了人性的多面性和灰色地带。故事情节的推进方式也很 menarik (fascinating),它不是那种快节奏的、充满戏剧性冲突的故事,而是更侧重于情感的积累和人物关系的演变。这种叙事方式反而更能打动人心,让读者在不知不觉中被卷入故事的情感漩涡。书中的许多细节都处理得非常到位,比如一些看似不经意的对话,却蕴含着深层的情感信息,需要读者仔细体会。这本书让我对“家”这个概念有了更深的理解,它不仅仅是物理空间,更是情感的连接和羁绊。作者通过这个故事,提醒我们去关注那些常常被忽视的情感需求,以及及时沟通的重要性。读完之后,我感到一种淡淡的忧伤,但更多的是对人性和情感的敬畏。
