书籍简介

如今，女人忘记了所有她们不想记住的事情，记住了所有她们不想忘记的事情。梦想就是真理。

当 16 岁的 Janie 被发现与懒惰的 Johnny Taylor 接吻时，她的祖母迅速将她嫁给了一个拥有 60 英亩土地的老男人。Janie 经历了两次令人窒息的婚姻，才遇到了她梦寐以求的男人——他提供的不是钻石，而是一包花种子。20 世纪 70 年代，Alice Walker 重新发现并大力推崇赫斯顿的自我发现抒情小说，如今被誉为 20 世纪伟大的美国经典之一。

Now, women forget all those things they don't want to remember and remember everything they don't want to forget. The dream is the truth.

When, at sixteen, Janie is caught kissing shiftless Johnny Taylor, her grandmother swiftly marries her off to an old man with sixty acres. Janie endures two stifling marriages before meeting the man of her dreams - who offers not diamonds, but a packet of flowering seeds. Rediscovered and championed by Alice Walker in the 1970s, Hurston's lyrical novel of self-discovery is now acclaimed as one of the greatest American classics of the twentieth century.
