Title: Fine Novel from Amy Tan that's close to "The Joy Luck Club" expectations
Product review: Amy Tan has certainly done a great job in raising the stature of Asian-American literature. Having enjoyed reading "The Joy Luck Club" years ago, I knew that I would find "The Kitchen's God Wife" yet another engrossing saga. Truly, I was not disappointed. In Winnie Louie Amy Tan may have her most intriguing, and sympathetic, character; one who is forced to endure marital slavery and the depredations of the invading Japanese before finally finding happiness and a new life for her surviving child in the United States of America. I was intrigued with Tan's scenes of war-torn Nanking and Shanghai during World War II and the Chinese Communist Revolution. Although I concur with another reviewer that "The Kitchen God's Wife" does not end strongly - more with a whimper than a bang - it is still one fine novel that deserves some comparisons to Tolstoy's best work, most notably "Anna Karenina".
