“From the summer of my twelfth year I carry a series of images more vivid and lasting than any others of my boyhood and indelible beyond all attempts the years make to erase or fade them… “ So begins David Hayden’s story of what happened in Montana in 1948. The events of that cataclysmic summer permanently alter twelve-year-old David’s understanding of his family: his father, a small-town sheriff; his remarkably strong mother; David’s uncle Frank, a war hero and respected doctor; and the Haydens’ Sioux housekeeper, Marie Little Soldier, whose revelations turn the family’s life upside down as she relates how Frank has been molesting his female Indian patients. As their story unravels around David, he learns that truth is not what one believes it to be, that power is abused, and that sometimes one has to choose between family loyalty and justice.

The Hayden family’s abuse of power in the lawless west backfires
评分Power and corruption. Racism and prejudice. These topics are explored exactly in the novel.
评分It is too obvious to say that this is a bestseller worth reading, with its frank and straightforward recount of a pathetic but provoking story against the bleak reality of western America.
评分这本书注重的更多是情节，对于看过金庸小说的国人来说，里面的场景小了很多。里面牵涉到种族和偏见，以及道德的拷问。不过整篇文字没有太大难度，读来比较容易理解，对于人物心里的刻画还是比较到位的。Uncle做了坏事（少儿不宜），father 作为sheriff也没有去包庇他，最后uncle畏罪自杀了。就这样公正公益战胜了邪恶丑陋，世界又恢复了和平。
评分感受一般
