Mothers, Daughters, Ghosts: Amy Tan is Back and Better Than Ever

Date of Review:  Mar 24, 2001
The Bottom Line: Imagine sitting down to a delicious dinner of Chinese food, one that leaves you full and happy. That's how you'll feel at the end of this book.
Review: Amy Tan has always written novels which stop short just this side of autobiography. Books like The Joy Luck Club and The Kitchen God?s Wife have documented Chinese-American family life with such detail, such sincerity that it feels like we?re having...

Date of Review:  Mar 22, 2001

A Lesson in Mother-Daughter Dynamics: The Bonesetter's Daughter

Date of Review:  May 20, 2002
The Bottom Line: The Bonesetter's Daughter is not to be missed. Amy Tan definitely understands the dynamics of the mother-daughter relationship.
Review: Amy Tan?s The Bonesetter?s Daughter is a touching, powerful novel. However, it does not have the impact of Tan?s most famous novel The Joy Luck Club. I am not sure Tan will ever be able to recreate the magic of her first novel, but she is an...

  Kirkus: "The novel builds slowly, and a few sequences...seem inexplicably disproportionate. But the elaborate preparation pays generous dividends in the stunning final 50 or so pages....Tan strikes gold once again."

Paperback, Bonesetter's Daughter
"The Bonesetter's Daughter dramatically chronicles the tortured, devoted relationship between LuLing Young and her daughter Ruth. . . . A strong novel, filled with idiosyncratic, sympathetic characters, haunting images, historical complexity, significant contemporary themes, and suspenseful mystery."–Los Angeles Times"TAN AT HER BEST . . . Rich and hauntingly forlorn . . . The writing is so exacting and unique in its detail."–San Francisco Chronicle"For Tan, the true keeper of memory is language, and so the novel is layered with stories that have been written down–by mothers for their daughters, passing along secrets that cannot be said out loud but must not be forgotten."–The New York Times Book Review"AMY TAN [HAS] DONE IT AGAIN. . . . The Bonesetter's Daughter tells a compelling tale of family relationships; it layers and stirs themes of secrets, ambiguous meanings, cultural complexity and self-identity; and it resonates with metaphor and symbol."–The Denver Post
