严歌苓惯于以旁观者的身份冷眼讲述故事,但《第九个寡妇》却是一部充满鲜活生活气息的暖色调的小说。作者写出了在人性透视下的中国乡间仁义、保守的文化心理特征,同时对充满魅惑力量的雌性尽情讴歌与赞颂。 Yan Geling used to sit idly as a spectator to tell stories, but the “Ninth Widow” was a warm-toned novel full of fresh life. The author writes about the virtues of the Chinese countryside under the perspective of human nature and the conservative cultural and psychological features. At the same time, he is full of eulogies and tributes to the feminine who are full of charm.
