风:中国1940s
(Author) Harvey Whitehouse 阿武"他们如风过无痕,被无视、被蹂躏、被践踏、被遗忘,彷佛这鲜活、美好、无奈、无情的人间从未来过。" 小说将背景置于1940至1950年代初战火频仍的中国,河南、安徽交界处的界首、沈丘一带,描写了一个村庄,几个家庭成员在战乱中的命运。其中有稀里糊涂被抓了丁,跟着国军抗日、再投降解放军,又懵懵懂懂被送上朝鲜战场,从此杳无音讯的李春禾;他的妻弟,在时代洪流中努力掌握自己命运的任天笑,主动参军抗日,成为优秀的军人,但在朝鲜的美军战俘营里,面对回国还是去台湾的艰难选择,仍然有诸多的身不由己。他的父亲任清泉,一位备受尊敬的乡绅,在乱世中努力尽到家国责任,竭力维持家庭的完整与做人的尊严,却无法抵御和平年代的残暴。他的妹妹任天骄,一位爱上了美国传教士的现代女性,却不得不将爱情和婚姻抵押给时代强加给她的命运...... 本书的写作由作者亲人的经历而触发。
