  • 等闲女人的旧事 第一部 亲情

    by 南海北海
    年少时就有写作的冲动，不过多半都是凑凑字数或者是“为赋新词强说愁”，没有内核和灵魂。而今虽然没有秋鬓霜白，但早已在客舟听过雨，也多次静立在僧庐下感受点滴到天明的孤寂。人到了一定的年纪，就会不自禁地慨叹人生如朝露，对衰颜酒红的悲凉也难免惶恐不安，所以终于沉下心来创作了长篇小说《等闲女人的旧事》。小说是三部曲，三本书的内容前后相连，每一本也可以独立成书。当然，每本书有不同的侧重点，三部曲的名字分别是：第一部《亲情》;第二部《爱情》;第三部《异乡》。 第一部共57章，约19万字。第一章“生日”，第五十七章“没有离愁的别绪——旅途”。第二部共88章，约27万字。第一章“海口”，第八十八章“故园东望路漫漫”。第三部共103章，约34万字。第一章“温哥华”，第103章“他乡还是故乡”。 全书约80万字，以时间为经线，通过空间的转换，刻画了几个普通女人的心路历程，情感变化，同时展示了时代和社会的变迁。本书的时空跨度都比较大，惟其如此，才能展示出更真实的状态。书中对自然景观和人文环境都有不同程度的描绘，如果对旅游感兴趣，也可以作为闲书翻一下。全书试图以小见大，涉及更广博的内容，也许心有余而... more
