十月

Rate this book
《十月》是许友彬的第二部长篇小说,叙述十月和妈妈的故事。小说一开始,十月的妈妈就去世了。这一年,十月只有十五岁。他住在舅舅的家,家里还有仁慈的舅母、死对头表哥和可爱的表妹。

妈妈留给十月几封遗书,分别放在不同的地方。十月每拆开一封遗书之后,必须完成妈妈指定的任务,才可以拆开下一封遗书。妈妈给十月什么任务?十月能不能如愿完成任务?书中自有分晓。

十月无意中发觉,养育他十五年的妈妈,可能不是他的亲生母亲。这令他非常难过。妈妈去世后,他失去了妈妈,至少心中还有妈妈的存在。如果心中的妈妈也不是他的妈妈,他连心中的妈妈也失去了,他会更加伤心难受。到底心中的妈妈是不是亲妈妈?到底有没有另一个亲妈妈?答案就在书中。

在《十月》这部小说里,十月的妈妈通过书信,引导十月去发掘往事的真相。事实上,作者通过文字,引导读者去发掘母爱的真相。母爱不是三言两语能说得清楚的,却可以通过一个故事反映出来。母亲不是圣人,也会犯下错误,但母爱却是神圣的。十万言的小说,让人体会妈妈用心良苦。不管妈妈背后有多少秘密,不管妈妈做过什么错事,妈妈永远是妈妈。小说会有结局,妈妈会终老,妈妈的爱永远不会结束。

華文小說鼻祖,人生中第一本小說。仍是紅蜻蜓/許友彬老師至愛,沒有之一。偶爾捧起開始看看前面幾頁,卻總是不知不覺一頁一頁翻到最後。

"花谢后,留给蝴蝶的是一肚子的心酸。母亲走后,留给孩子的是一辈子的爱"

Flipped through this novel again just to fact-check a minor detail but ended up binge-reading it. Speed-read the whole thing in 2 days. Pretty underrated tbh, this novel could've ended up being a major bestseller if the author was based in a huge market like the US and had access to better resources. Very serene, touching storyline, very accessible for all ages. Ambiguous (for lack of a better word), bittersweet ending

Story started with in a gloomy atmosphere. The plots are full with mysteries so that the intended young reader will keep reading. The story has a logical happy ending and all the suspenses have been accounted.

3 stars for the overall story, readability, and suitably wrapped-up ending.

Given that this is a Chinese book no one actually reviews this in English but I'm going to be ironic because my first language is English despite the fact that I am Chinese
This was one of the first few Chinese books I have read and it was very impacting given that I read it the first time almost 5 years ago and am still able to remember the key plot points
I'm watching the TV show right now, knowing that the author added details of his personal life in this book was very insightful and made me feel like doing such when I write my own stories
Will need to re-read something in Chinese soon, this would be one of the books I'd choose
