White Ivy

White Ivy
内容简介:

A young woman’s crush on a privileged classmate becomes a story of love, lies, and dark obsession, offering stark insights into the immigrant experience, as it hurtles to its electrifying ending.

Ivy Lin is a thief and a liar—but you’d never know it by looking at her.

Raised outside of Boston, Ivy’s immigrant grandmother relies on Ivy’s mild appearance for cover as she teaches her granddaughter how to pilfer items from yard sales and second-hand shops. Thieving allows Ivy to accumulate the trappings of a suburban teen—and, most importantly, to attract the attention of Gideon Speyer, the golden boy of a wealthy political family. But when Ivy’s mother discovers her trespasses, punishment is swift and Ivy is sent to China, and her dream instantly evaporates.

Years later, Ivy has grown into a poised yet restless young woman, haunted by her conflicting feelings about her upbringing and her family. Back in Boston, when Ivy bumps into Sylvia Speyer, Gideon’s sister, a reconnection with Gideon seems not only inevitable—it feels like fate.

Slowly, Ivy sinks her claws into Gideon and the entire Speyer clan by attending fancy dinners, and weekend getaways to the cape. But just as Ivy is about to have everything she’s ever wanted, a ghost from her past resurfaces, threatening the nearly perfect life she’s worked so hard to build.

Filled with surprising twists and a nuanced exploration of class and race, White Ivy is a glimpse into the dark side of a woman who yearns for success at any cost.

    故事还是挺抓人的,两三天就听完了。虽然很多情节都能猜到,对这个中国家庭的描写我也不喜欢,但是作为一个畅销小说还是可以的吧。

    结局非常意难平,坏人没有坏报不符合我朴素的是非观。为死去的人感到万分不值。

    刻板印象确实刻板得粗俗恶劣,但是我觉得那不是作者的观点,而是女主角这个粗俗恶劣的叙事者的偏见。很难得看到这种自私自利但是又没有坏得脱离人性范围的恶女主角。各个人物、事件、欲望和命运都微妙地互相牵制、互相促成着。没有一句废话也没有一点没用的情绪。
