Title: Tan to the bone.
Review: Amy Tan has written another book about a Chinese-American woman and her strained relationship with her Chinese mother. If only these shallow-San-Fransiso-yuppy-women could understand their irritating mothers, maybe they could have a successful relationship with a man. Right? Fortunately, Tan takes us back to China for most of this novel and writes an epic of tragedy and beauty. Amy Tan has taught me a lot about Chinese culture and history. I love her characters (especially the mothers). I always feel as if I can actually hear their voices and accents. This book is well-worth reading. If you are an Amy Tan fan, this book is very similar to her others, so you won't be disappointed or surprised. (The Kitchen God's Wife is still my favorite.)
