Negative Positive
Title: Engaging, yet not very convincing
Review: I was reading in a recent interview with the author, that Amy Tan's latest novel is based a lot on her own family's history. Maybe that is why the novel is so engrossing. Staged in San Francisco and in China during the first half of teh century, the book walks us through the life of three generations of women. As usual, Amy Tan is brilliant--a plot that has its twists and turns as well as a psychological perspective into what makes us what we are.My only disappointment is the kind of unexpected and seemigly quickly written happy ending. I have no problem with happy endings, but there needs to be a more thorough explanation on how it happened. On the otehr hand, in the interview I read with the author, she said that is how the actual real story ended...
