点评:Beautiful and unspoilt house of NZ’s modernist writer KM’s small childhood but it carries so much more within its walls about NZ and its rigid society, changing morals and women’s history from the late 19th and early 20th Centuries. Friendly and knowledgeable staff are very engaging. The timeline and room descriptions are littered with KM quotes. Even if you know her work it makes you realise just how remarkable she was and how sad that her life was cut short so young and that she never wrote a full novel. If you don’t know her writing All Her short stories feel like excerpts from that unwritten novel and reflect life as it was then … and still is now. Well Worth a visit. And pick up one of her books or quote cards at the little store.
Tip - v good cafe just up the Tinakori Road in the village - “Coffee and Toast”for refreshments!
翻译:这座美丽而保存完好的故居是新西兰现代主义作家KM童年生活的地方,但它所承载的远不止于此,它还展现了19世纪末20世纪初新西兰及其僵化的社会、道德变迁以及女性历史的方方面面。热情友好的工作人员知识渊博,令人倍感亲切。时间轴和房间介绍中穿插着KM的语录。即使你了解她的作品,也会被她非凡的才华所折服,并为她英年早逝、未能完成一部长篇小说而感到惋惜。如果你不了解她的作品,她所有的短篇小说都像是那部长篇未完成小说的节选,反映了当时的社会风貌……以及当下的社会现状。非常值得一游。别忘了在小商店里买一本她的书或语录卡片。
小贴士:沿着蒂纳科里路往上走,村里有一家很棒的咖啡馆——“Coffee and Toast”,可以享用茶点!
