Daughters of the Sun and Moon

內容簡介

內容簡介 1870 年，三名中國女性抵達了當時規模尚小、塵土飛揚且充滿暴力的洛杉磯小鎮。雲雀(Dove)：一名纏足的帝國學者之女，迷人且天真。這些特質本應為她帶來優渥的生活，然而一切就從她被指腹為婚嫁給一位年長許多的商人開始。花瓣（Petal）：一名出身農家的天足女子，在飢餓與泥濘中長大。絕望之際，父親為了籌錢買稻種將她賣掉，她隨後被送上前往「金山」（美國）的輪船，在那裡再次面臨被販賣的命運。明月（Moon）：一名中醫師的妻子，受過教育且精通英語。她擁有一張絕世容顏，然而幼年纏足失敗導致的跛行，卻讓她在許多人眼中身價大跌。這三位女性各有所求：雲雀渴望愛與被愛，花瓣追求自由，而明月尋求正義。她們共同面對著一個對她們毫無善意的龐大社會。當時洛杉磯的反華情緒極其高漲，最終引發了「恐怖之夜」（Night of Horrors，指 1871 年洛杉磯華人大屠殺），這場浩劫迫使三位女性面臨超乎想像的考驗。因苦難與心碎而相聚的她們，必須憑藉勇氣、韌性以及「吃苦」的能力，去尋找屬於自己的聲音、贏得自由，並在彼此的慰藉與友誼中建立連結。她們齊心協力，化身為守望彼此的日月之女。Named a Most Anticipated Book of the Year by Today.comFrom beloved New York Times bestselling author Lisa See, the story of three Chinese women whose unexpected friendship helps them survive and, despite the odds, thrive, in the turmoil of post-Civil War Los Angeles.In 1870, three Chinese women arrive in the small, dusty, and violent pueblo of Los Angeles. Dove, the bound-footed daughter of an imperial scholar, is entrancing and innocent. These characteristics should bring her great rewards, beginning with her arranged marriage to a much older merchant. Petal, the big-footed daughter of peasants, has grown up hungry and with dirt between her toes. In a moment of desperation, Petal’s father sells her to buy money for rice seed, and she is loaded onto a ship to the Gold Mountain—America—where she is once again sold. Moon is married to a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine. She is educated, speaks fluent English, and has been endowed with a face of great beauty, yet her failed footbinding as a child has left her with a limp that lessens her value in the eyes of many.Each woman has her own desires. Dove wants to love and be loved, Petal desires freedom, and Moon seeks justice. Together they face a larger society that wishes them not one ounce of good will. Anti-Chinese sentiment is strong in Los Angeles, and this eventually leads to the Night of Horrors during which all three women are challenged in ways they could not have imagined. Brought together by hardship and heartbreak, they must use their bravery, endurance, and ability to “eat bitterness” to discover their voices, find freedom, and connect through solace and friendship. Together they are daughters of the sun and moon.
