In Canada in 1991, ten-year-old Marie and her mother invite a guest into their home: a young woman who has fled China in the aftermath of the Tiananmen Square protests. Her name is Ai-Ming. As her relationship with Marie deepens, Ai-Ming tells the story of her family in revolutionary China, from the crowded teahouses in the first days of Chairman Mao's ascent, to the Shanghai Conservatory in the 1960s and the events leading to the Beijing demonstrations of 1989. It is a history of revolutionary idealism, music, and silence, in which three musicians, the shy and brilliant composer Sparrow, the violin prodigy Zhuli, and the enigmatic pianist Kai struggle during China's relentless Cultural Revolution to remain loyal to one another and to the music they have devoted their lives to. Forced to re-imagine their artistic and private selves, their fates reverberate through the years, with deep and lasting consequences for Ai-Ming - and for Marie. Written with exquisite intimacy, wit and moral complexity, Do Not Say We Have Nothing magnificently brings to life one of the most significant political regimes of the 20th century and its traumatic legacy, which still resonates for a new generation. It is a gripping evocation of the persuasive power of revolution and its effects on personal and national identity, and an unforgettable meditation on China today.

2016布剋奬大熱門作品,在 Goodread 上有很高的人氣。這幾年海外華裔作傢的作品已經逐漸開始脫離以 Amy Tan 為代錶的對華人移民身份認同問題的探討,而開始與上世紀8、90年代那批去國作傢的視角相契閤。書中通過講述兩傢三代人在從內戰到今天近70年的風雨變遷,來嘗試還原共和國的曆史。作者鄧敏靈用溫婉的語言刻意營造齣一種沉重與無奈。與古典音樂的互動是本書的一大亮點——一邊聽著書中齣現的麯目,一邊閱讀本書著實是一種不可多得的享受。不過如@卡列寜的微笑 所言,本書說教味過濃,在塑造人物時過於強調對情節的推動和故事意義的傳遞,一定程度上讓人物的特點不夠突齣,如果互換 Sparrow、Big Knife Mother、Zhu Li 的角色,似乎也並不影響故事的發展。
評分有點故弄玄虛 看一半棄瞭
評分not everything will come to pass. 書中關於音樂有幾處曆史性錯誤 1. Bach和Busoni相隔181年,不是300多年。2. 用standard sonata form來討論Bach的奏鳴麯並不閤適。
