Marianne, heading west with fourteen other children on an Orphan Train, is sure her mother will show up at one of the stations along the way. When her mother left Marianne at the orphanage, hadn't she promised she'd come for her after making a new life in the West? Stop after stop goes by, and there's no sign of her mother in the crowds that come to look over the children. No one shows any interest in adopting shy, plain Marianne, either. But that's all right: She has to be free for her mother to claim her. Then the train pulls into its final stop, a town called Somewhere . . .Marianne, heading west with fourteen other children on an Orphan Train, is sure her mother will show up at one of the stations along the way.

通過(guò)這個(gè)故事我了解到一段歷史:從19世紀(jì)50年代中期到20世紀(jì)20年代末,總共約有10萬(wàn)無(wú)家可歸的孩子被火車從紐約帶往中西部的小鎮(zhèn)和鄉(xiāng)村。當(dāng)然孩子的結(jié)局有好有壞,從孩子們是怎樣被挑選上就能看出:有人為了田里的勞動(dòng)力,有人為了找個(gè)干家務(wù)活的,有人想要男孩,有人想要女孩,有人為了迎接孩子精心準(zhǔn)備禮物,有人慫恿鄰居便宜不占白不占也挑一個(gè)回家。
Sad story with a not too bad ending.
畫的很一般。故事很深刻。作者的語(yǔ)言簡(jiǎn)潔,但是非常有表現(xiàn)力。里面人物的感情,態(tài)度栩栩如生。里面的一條感情線是...這個(gè)故事真的好簡(jiǎn)單:一群孤兒被送上向西的火車,一站一站被人挑選回家。

是一本我希望小姑娘來(lái)讀的書。睜眼看真實(shí)世界。不要沉浸在fantasy和adventures里了。(展開)
