這是一部不容錯過的傑作,出自三度入圍國家圖書獎決選、榮獲科雷塔·史考特·金獎的作家麗塔·威廉斯-加西亞之手。她以令人難忘的方式,講述了一個白人家庭與為其工作的被奴役者的故事。對於正在思考美國種族主義歷史的青少年和成年人來說,這是必讀之作。

這部驚人的小說描繪了美國南北戰爭前,一座莊園中交織的命運——是一部史詩級的大師之作,充滿同理心、殘酷,卻又完全展現人性。

1860年,路易斯安那州。在擔任小別墅莊園女主人六十多年後,儘管家人漠不關心,西爾維·吉爾伯特夫人仍決定坐下來讓人為她畫一幅肖像。

但在吉爾伯特莊園裡,還有其他重要的故事需要被訴說。這些故事跨越世代,從大宅到田野,講述了日常的恐怖、深埋如家族財富般的秘密,以及後代與被奴役者之間糾纏的連結。

Penelope U. ★★★★★

The storylines weave together so seamlessly that I found myself sneaking in extra chapters during lunch breaks—the historical detail feels lived-in rather than researched. For the sale price, this is an absolute steal on a book that reads like a literary heavyweight.

Ellie U. ★★★★★

Three-time National Book Award finalist means something here—the prose is so layered I had to slow down and savor whole chapters about this white family's tangled history. Snagged it on sale but I'd have paid full price for this kind of storytelling.

Lily ★★★★★

I was skeptical that a book about a white family in Louisiana would hold my interest, but Williams-Garcia’s storytelling is so layered and human that I finished it in two sittings. The historical detail feels lived-in, not researched, and every character—even the unlikeable ones—stays with you.
