Title: Defiinitely just fiction.
Product review: As I get older I find Amy Tan's works are really just fiction. I think it is sad that her books make up some of the curriculum of Asian American studies and also histories of immigrant experiences. Now we have a new generation of students who think this is what is normal in the Asian communities. So sad.... The depiction of Asian men is that they are all bad people or deadbeats. Asian women are just supposed to take it until they can't take anymore. There also seems to be this sense that the women all need a savior in their lives to make the pain go away. So not true... My grandmother was orphaned during WW2. Her two brothers were killed because they were bringing home sweet potatoes that they bought by selling some family furniture. I remember her as a lady that can and will face anything head on and tell it like it is. So not like the ladies in Amy Tan's novels.
