图书描述

From School Library Journal Adult/High School-A 12-year-old boy living in rural California with his Baptist father and Asian mother struggles to make sense of the evil that is going on within his small town and within his own family after his older brother goes off to Vietnam. Dave adores Glen and, when he leaves, the boy spends his time watching and observing his town-"like God," he says. He's looking for something, anything, that will bring him closer to his brother. Dave watches his father lead a strike at the local factory, observes racism in his small town, and watches his brother's "passion." This woman, although never directly labeled a prostitute, maintains relationships with many of the local men. Dave sees her being raped by his uncle, who owns the local factory. Not sure what to do, he keeps silent but maintains his watch over her. Shortly thereafter, Glen returns from Vietnam, wounded, distant, and inconsolable, resulting in a tragic but realistic ending. This is a beautifully written and lyrical coming-of-age story. The words paint a soft and subtle landscape, thus providing a contrast with the internal turmoil that Dave faces. The book could easily be set in today's time; the tragedies that the protagonist faces are timeless.-Erin Dennington, Fairfax County Public Library, Chantilly, VA Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.

From Booklist The seeming normality of Dave's 12-year-old life in a rural California town begins to shatter--first by a strike at the plant where his father works, then by racism against "that Jew" who helps organize the laborers, then by Dave's brother Glen going to Vietnam. While Glen is gone, Dave spends his idle time watching Glen's "passion," a woman whose company is kept by many men in the area and who suffers great indignities in front of young Dave. Glen is distant and inconsolable when he returns from Vietnam, and even visits with the woman don't seem to help, which Dave cannot comprehend. Smith paints this "typical" American town with soft, subtle strokes, mixing hope and despair and paralleling Dave's internal turmoil. The first-person narration achieves a remarkable lyricism, whether Dave is remembering his brother ("And I shined with the wonder of him, all that he knew, and I forgot to be scared") or contemplating the future ("There was nothing I wanted anymore, nothing to do then, but wait on tomorrow"). A beautiful coming-of-age story. Mary Frances WilkensCopyright © American Library Association. All rights reserved
