  母親という名の女の人生か
  Is it the life of a woman named mother
  資産家とはいえ老年の男に嫁いだのは良いけれど満たされない欲求を義理の息子ネイサンに向ける最低の女アデル。実の娘インディアさえも女としてライバル視し、どこまでも欲深くそれを隠そうともしない恥知らず。だけれど、感情に、欲望に素直というべきか。衰えていく自らを鏡の中に発見し、娘の輝きを直視した時、己の中の欲望に終止符を打つ。それに振り回されるネイサンとインディア。特に母の美しさを認め羨望さえ覚えているインディアにとっては、子供で未熟であることに絶望もしていたことだろうと感じ心が痛む。それは神にも等しく絶対的存在なのだから物語の展開には合点がいく。ネイサンにとっても、義理とはいえインディアは妹なのだから感情を抑えようと展開が鈍るのも良く分かるし、なかなかの読み物だった。特筆するべきは、父親の懺悔の手紙が途中書きだった事。これには非常に現実的で、内容には後悔が現れているが、それでもアデルを選んでしまった自らの気持ちは否定できないでいる様が表れていてとても良い。物語の中では何もかもを鮮明にしすぎる傾向があるから、途中書きなことに意味深長さがうかがえて、味わい深さを感じられる。人は何もかもを正しい方向へだけ進めることができるわけではないと。

  Even though she is a wealthy woman, she married an old man, Adele, the worst woman who directs her good but unfulfilled desires to her son-in-law Nathan. Even her real daughter India is a shameless woman who sees her as a rival and is greedy and doesn't try to hide it. But should we be honest with our feelings and desires? I discovered my declining self in the mirror, and when I looked directly at my daughter's brilliance, I put an end to my own desires. Nathan and India are swayed by it. In particular, for India, who admires her mother's beauty and even remembers envy, it hurts to feel that she was hopeless because she was a child and immature. Since it is an absolute being equal to God, there is a point where the story unfolds. Even for Nathan, India is her younger sister, even though she is her in-law, so you can clearly understand how the development slows down in an attempt to suppress her emotions, and it was quite a read. What should be noted is that my father's letter of repentance was written halfway through. This is very realistic, and regrets appear in the content, but even so, it shows that they cannot deny their own feelings of choosing Adele, which is very good. Since there is a tendency to make everything too clear in the story, the depth of meaning is reflected in what is written in the middle, and the depth of flavor can be felt. People say that not everything can only move in the right direction.
