黑鳥湖畔的女巫 ★紐伯瑞文學獎金牌獎: : : \ 1. Elizabeth George Speare 2. 3. 99 Elizabeth George Speare 19081994 Laura Ingalls Wilder Award
作者: 伊莉莎白．喬治．斯匹爾 | 繪者: 王書曼 | 譯者: 趙永芬
\經得起時代考驗的經典小說//
描述青少年對自我價值及歸屬感的追尋，和對墨守成規的勇敢挑戰。
搭配詳實的歷史細節，完整勾勒出十七世紀新英格蘭的生活情形、清教徒與英國政府的政教衝突。
吉蒂隻身前往陌生的新英格蘭領土，投靠從未謀面的阿姨一家人。但她華美的衣服、新潮的思維，在當地保守的清教徒眼中，竟變成邪惡的象徵！她宛如一隻受困的活潑熱帶鳥，一心渴望解脫……直到在黑鳥湖畔遇見了女巫漢娜，迷惘的心才獲得安慰，但吉蒂也因此被指控為女巫！在社會壓力和忠於自我的掙扎中，吉蒂將如何證明她的清白？
本書特色
1.故事背景詳實逼真，強化閱讀沉浸體驗
作者伊莉莎白．喬治．斯匹爾（Elizabeth George Speare）以自己居住的新英格蘭地區作為創作靈感來源，並在寫出《黑鳥湖畔的女巫》這本小說前，曾認真考究康乃狄克的歷史背景資料。因此，閱讀的過程中，能感受到故事背景詳實逼真，讓讀者彷彿真的重返十七世紀一般，能夠沉浸於精采故事之中。
2.主角個性鮮活，勇於閃耀女力光芒
女主角吉蒂原本是英屬殖民地巴貝多群島的貴族，但在爺爺去世後，被迫賣地還債，並隻身前往康乃狄克投奔姨丈一家。但姨丈家所在的是清教徒社區，此處居民主張禁止奢華、崇尚儉樸、恪守規矩，甚至女性不識字是常態，一連串的文化差異，導致受過教育又喜歡自由的她格格不入，在嘗試融入的過程中吃盡苦頭。
幸好，吉蒂遇到了和藹慈祥且居於黑鳥湖畔的「女巫」漢娜、內向友善的小謹，以及熱烈張狂的乃德，讓她可以勇於面對內心所愛、敢於直面困難和挑戰，最終苦盡甘來，收穫自己的幸福，也閃耀自信光芒。
3.緊扣「女巫」主題，呈現愚昧和暴力惡行
即便本書沒有任何一個角色會施行所謂的「巫術」，但當清教徒社區居民遇上超乎自己認知、同時也超出自己解決能力範圍外的問題時，就將問題都推到「女巫」身上，把無辜的婦女視為邪惡女巫，並胡亂審判與迫害，故事情節充分呈現以虔誠信仰包裝無知與暴力的荒謬，以及人言可畏、透過獵捕女巫發洩情緒的可悲惡行。

OK short read
Format: Kindle
Reasonable short read. Have to doubt the facts since the author writes FDR was alive in the 1950's and he leaves out the Haitian genocide in his narrative.

A fascinating read
Format: Kindle
I found Modern Africa to be a fascinating read, because, having grown up in the 80’s, places such as Libya and Ethiopia were always in the news, but I didn’t understand their backstories. Modern Africa does a great job of laying out these stories, but in a way that doesn’t overwhelm the reader. I look forward to reading more from the author! They do a great job of making history relevant and make me want to learn more!

Quick Read - Highlights Version
Format: Kindle
The author does a decent job of overviewing what took place during this time period. You will learn how many different events connect and see what caused various developments in Africa to take place. However, it was not as in depth as I would have liked and certainly could not cover everything that transpired during this time. Probably a decent survey book for high school students, but as an adult, I would have liked to see more elaboration and depth for each segment. 124 pages is a relatively short amount of space to cover so many topics.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
