大地之子 下

by Toyoko Yamasaki, 山崎豐子, 章蓓蕾 (Translator)

重逢，讓他浮萍般的一生有了落葉歸根的機會，也是抉擇的開始……

詭譎的政治局勢正準備掀起一場滔天大浪，官方的權力鬥爭與人事傾軋將對身分不明的陸一心產生什麼影響？
被當成童養媳賣掉、在農村長大的敦子，因為身分問題，始終是個「異鄉人」，三十多年來，她從未得到國家的認同，也無法享有丈夫與婆婆的平等對待。只有紅色護身符為她尋覓到真正的親人。然而，即使是闊別了三十多年的重逢，也不代表從此能得到幸福⋯⋯

一直猶豫是否尋覓親生父親的陸一心，既感謝賭上性命為自己洗刷冤屈的養父，但也無法忘懷自己的出生根源。一邊是撫養他成人、卻是永遠讓人因「身分認同」而不安的生活環境，另一邊則是斷不了的血緣關係，「日本鬼子」是他永遠烙印的符碼，陸一心一生獲得的屈辱和榮耀都與此脫不了干係。
敦子與陸一心命運多舛的一生，就像礁岩峽谷之間，一艘在波濤激流之上險行的船。在海闊天空之前，他們必須面對一個重要的抉擇

About the author

Toyoko Yamasaki (山崎 豊子, real name Sugimoto Toyoko; 3 November 1924 – 29 September 2013) was a Japanese novelist.

A native of Osaka, Yamasaki worked as a journalist for the Mainichi Shimbun from 1945 to 1959 after graduating from Kyoto Women's University in Japanese literature. She published her first story, Noren (1957), a story of a kelp trader, based on the experiences of her family's business. The following year, she won the Naoki Prize for her second novel Hana Noren, the story about the founder of an entertainment group. A major influence on her writings of that period was Yasushi Inoue, who was deputy head of the Mainichi Shimbun's cultural news desk.

Yamasaki wrote some stories based on actual events. For example, Futatsu no Sokoku is derived from the biography of a Japanese American David Akira Itami, and Shizumanu Taiyō is based on the Japan Airlines Flight 123 accident. Several works of hers were featured in films and television dramas.
