Title: A compelling and true-spoken narration
Product review: Though it's beginning isn't exactly engrossing - at least not to me, as the main character seemed a married, middle-aged woman with boring family problems - the story really picked up when the woman's mother tells her story of life in China during World War II. It is really a different perspective, for all you who read about wars, and those that don't even like to. It is a story most heartfelt and so very realistic. ...There's something about Amy Tan's style - she doesn't dress up her story, everything is plainly told, and yet the work is just full of details and I find myself reading word-for-word unconsciously."The Kitchen God's Wife" refers to Winnie (the mother's) life being in the shadow of her corrupt and malicious husband, herself helpless and overlooked. In my opinion, this book is a much better plot than The Joy Luck Club, and has a more dramatic theme. And while it may be long and seemingly tedious, it is worth every word!!
