This book is a novella. An unhappy mother born in the 1960s travels alone to a foreign country, renewing her long-lost cohabitation with her expectant daughter. The mother, betrayed by time and human nature, and the daughter, desperate to escape her mother's overwhelming love but drawn deeper into its maelstrom, face a mountain of separation, a mountain of time, and a mountain of culture. The hidden, tender yet resilient hearts of these two generations of women are revealed layer by layer, finding silent reconciliation amidst the confrontations of life. The shared silhouette of each woman, each nuanced and sensitive, fragile yet resilient, reaches its fullest expression after becoming a mother. The story's strength lies not in its dramatic and suspenseful plot, but in its delicate depiction of everyday psychological dynamics, the capture of emotions, the elaboration of details, and the author's exceptionally powerful prose.
本书是一本中篇小说。六零后“不快乐妈妈”独自来到异国他乡, 与定居于此的待产女儿重启久违的同居生活。被时代和人性辜负的母亲、想逃离母亲如山般爱意却愈加走进漩涡的女儿, 她们之间横隔着母女之间的山、时代之间的山、文化之间的山。两代女性内心隐秘、柔软却坚韧的东西被层层剖出, 在生活的对峙中于无声处和解。女性个体的纤细而敏感、脆弱又坚强的共同剪影, 都在“成为母亲”之后达到了最大程度的展现。故事的取胜之处并非是大起大落的悬浮情节, 而是细腻日常的心理活动描写、情绪捕捉、细节的铺陈, 以及作家较为厉害的文字描写。
