killing time in a cliche way
评分如果不是drama课演过里面的小女孩也不会想起去了解美国20世纪初orphan train riders的故事和历史 the mobility, the rootlessness, the yearning for belonging.
评分第一次完整读完一本英文书
评分两个人物的叙述穿插而行,这似乎是最近的流行。喜欢Molly,和vivian同为孤儿,但她和vivian更有着相同的品质,所以才会成为忘年交吧。更喜欢1930's的这条线索,喜欢vivian的坚韧,对于生活的认真,通过她也第一次了解到美国历史上有这么一列火车。当看到vivian和duthy相逢时,感慨万千,但也似乎预感到了两人最后的分离,最终duthy死于战场。。。结局停留在vivian见女儿这里,很温暖
评分用略带纪实的行文,把真实的历史记录下来,把那些个体的文化流传下来,并能得到大众的认可
Christina Baker Kline is the author of New York Times instant bestseller A Piece of the World (2017), about the relationship between the artist Andrew Wyeth and the subject of his best-known painting, Christina’s World. Kline has written six other novels -- Orphan Train, Orphan Train Girl, The Way Life Should Be, Sweet Water, Bird in Hand, and Desire Lines-- and written or edited five works of nonfiction. Her 2013 novel Orphan Train spent more than two years on the New York Times bestseller list, including five weeks at # 1, and was published in 40 countries. More than 100 communities and colleges have chosen it as a “One Book, One Read” selection. Her adaptation of Orphan Train for young readers is Orphan Train Girl (2017). She lives near New York City and on the coast of Maine.
The author of Bird in Hand and The Way Life Should Be delivers her most ambitious and powerful novel to date: a captivating story of two very different women who build an unexpected friendship: a 91-year-old woman with a hidden past as an orphan-train rider and the teenage girl whose own troubled adolescence leads her to seek answers to questions no one has ever thought to ask.
Nearly eighteen, Molly Ayer knows she has one last chance. Just months from "aging out" of the child welfare system, and close to being kicked out of her foster home, a community service position helping an elderly woman clean out her home is the only thing keeping her out of juvie and worse.
Vivian Daly has lived a quiet life on the coast of Maine. But in her attic, hidden in trunks, are vestiges of a turbulent past. As she helps Vivian sort through her possessions and memories, Molly discovers that she and Vivian aren't as different as they seem to be. A young Irish immigrant orphaned in New York City, Vivian was put on a train to the Midwest with hundreds of other children whose destinies would be determined by luck and chance.
The closer Molly grows to Vivian, the more she discovers parallels to her own life. A Penobscot Indian, she, too, is an outsider being raised by strangers, and she, too, has unanswered questions about the past. As her emotional barriers begin to crumble, Molly discovers that she has the power to help Vivian find answers to mysteries that have haunted her for her entire life - answers that will ultimately free them both.
Rich in detail and epic in scope, Orphan Train is a powerful novel of upheaval and resilience, of second chances, of unexpected friendship, and of the secrets we carry that keep us from finding out who we are.

评分一开始看到《孤儿列车》这个名字,首先进入脑海的就是记忆中几年前读过英的国文豪查尔斯·狄更斯笔下的《雾都孤儿》。虽然这两部作品的主题都是关于孤儿,但是两者却相差甚远。从时代背景上看,《雾都孤儿》发生在19世纪30年代处于工业革命时期的雾都伦敦,《孤儿列车》发生在2...
