Title: I loved The Bonesetter's daughter
Review: This is a wonderful new book by Amy Tan. I was intrigued just by the title. The bonesetter is a doctor who creates powders and potions using dragon bones to heal ailments. I love reading about Chinese women too. This is the reason I bought this book. Luling is a strong woman who raises her daughter Ruth by herself after outliving 2 husbands. Luling is the daughter of a mute nursemaid whose identity is unknown to Luling until after her death. I loved reading about how Luling grew up in an orphange. She finds love and a vocation in the orphange. This is probably the most touching part of the book. Ruth Young is a ghostwriter who takes on the responsibility for her mother's care after she develops Alzheimers disease while juggling her career and other demands. This is a very enjoyable book.
