Editor's Note:
Có một truyền thuyết về con chim chỉ hót có một lần trong đời, nhưng hót hay nhất thế gian. Có lần nó rời tổ bay đi tìm bụi mận gai và tìm cho bằng được mới thôi. Giữa đám cành gay góc, nó cất tiếng hát bài ca của mình và lao ngực vào chiếc gai dài nhất, nhọn nhất. Vượt lên trên nỗi đau khổ khôn tả, nó nừa hót vừa lịm dần đi, và tiếng ca hân hoan ấy đáng cho cả sơn ca và hoạ mi phải ghen tị. Bài ca duy nhất, có một không hai, bài ca phải đổi bằng tính mạng mới có được. Nhưng cả thế gian lặng đi lắng nghe và chính Thượng đế trên thiên đình cũng mìm cười. Bởi vì tất cả những gì tốt đẹp nhất chỉ có thể có được khi ta chịu trả giá bằng nỗi đau khổ vĩ đại... ít ra là truyền thuyết nói như vậy.Cuốn tiểu thuyết xây dựng như truyện sử biên gia đình, tác giả tập trung vào những xung đột tâm lý - đạo đức nhiều hơn là những vấn đề giai cấp - xã hội. Các nhân vật tuy vẫn chịu ảnh hưởng của hoàn cảnh, nhưng chủ yếu là ứng xử theo tính cách riêng của mình nhiều hơn. Trong số nhiều nhân vật, nổi bật hơn cả là ba nhân vật - Fiona, Meggie - con gái bà và cha đạo Ralph de Bricassart. Meggie có thể coi là nhân vật trung tâm của tác phẩm. Trong tiểu thuyết có nhiều tuyến tình tiết, nhiều môtíp, đề tài, song tất cả đều phục vụ câu chuyện chính: mối tình lớn lao trong sáng của Meggie và cha de Bricassart.Trong tác phẩm qui mô lớn này, những xung đột tâm lý - tinh thần của các nhân vật quyện chặt với sự miêu tả tỉ mỉ toàn cảnh lịch sử, địa lý, thiên nhiên. Thiên nhiên bao la, dữ dội nhưng có cái đẹp hoang sơ riêng của nó như hiện ra trước mắt đọc giả. Giá trị nhận thức của tác phẩm do đó càng thêm đầy đủ. Mối quan hệ giữa thiên nhiên và con người ở đây mang tính chất chung sống hài hoà, thiên nhiên chưa bị uy hiếp đến nguy cơ huỷ diệt.Tính hiện thực và tính lãng mạn trong tác phẩm này hoà lẫn với nhau tới mức nhuần nhị. Sự miêu tả tỉ mỉ bằng hình thức của bản thân đời sống, cả từ cách ăn mặc, lời ăn tiếng nói của nhân vật, cho đến cách xén lông cừu, nếp sống hàng ngày... lối kể chuyện thong thả theo trình tự thời gian khiến cho tác phẩm gần với loại tiểu thuyết hiện thực thế kỷ 19. Nhưng những tính cách phi thường rực rỡ biểu hiện trong những biến cố đột ngột, đầy hấp dẫn tạo nên màu sắc lãng mạn rất rõ nét. Một tác phẩm văn học Mỹ thời nay, xa lạ với những cảnh hung bạo, với "sex", với "phản nhân vật" đưa bạn đọc trở về với những vấn đề "nhà", "cội nguồn", "cha và con" mà lại được ham chuộng đến như thế ở phương Tây thì đó chứng tỏ những vấn đề muôn thuở của nhân loại bao giờ cũng làm rung động lòng người ở bất cứ nơi nào trên hành tinh chúng ta.
