小说通过一个日本妇女对两代人沉浮身世的追忆,展示了战后三十年中日本社会演变的一个断面,表现出作者对备受蹂躏的下层弱女子的同情,道出了她们对新生活的渴望和追求。这篇小说文字朴实而细腻,款款絮语中也不乏跌宕回转之处,读来耐人寻味。 Through a reminiscence of a Japanese woman’s remembrance of the ups and downs of two generations, a cross-section of Japan’s social evolution during the post-war thirty years shows a cross-section of the author’s sympathy for the torn lower grass-roots and their new life Desire and pursuit. The novel is simple and exquisite, with no shortage of swirling swirling passages and intriguing readings.
