Tan's novel of the conflicts between two very different Chinese American sisters spent 12 weeks on PW's bestseller list.
From School Library Journal
YA?Olivia, the narrator of this story, was born to an American mother and a Chinese father. She meets her 18-year-old Chinese half sister, Kwan, for the first time shortly after their father's death. Kwan adores "Libby-ah" and tries to introduce her to her Chinese heritage through stories and memories. Olivia is embarrassed by her sibling, but finds as she matures that she has inadvertently absorbed much about Chinese superstitions, spirits, and reincarnation. Olivia explains, "My sister Kwan believes she has Yin eyes. She sees those who have died and now dwell in the World of Yin..." Now in her mid-30s, Olivia, a photographer, is still seeking a meaningful life. The climax of the story comes when she and her estranged husband Simeon, a writer, go to China on assignment with Kwan as the interpreter. In the village in which she grew up, Kwan returns to the world of Yin, her mission completed. Olivia finally learns what Kwan was trying to show her: "If people we love die, then they are lost only to our ordinary senses. If we remember, we can find them anytime with our hundred secret senses." The meshing of the contemporary story of Olivia and the tales Kwan tells of her past life in late-19th century China may confuse some readers. Although this story is different from Tan's previous novels because of the supernatural twist, YAs will find some familiar elements.?Carol Clark, R. E. Lee High School, Springfield, VA

圖書標籤: Tan Amy 美國 小說 外國文學 原版小說 AmyTan 英文原著
感覺她刻意迎閤西方讀者的口味,替他們量身定做瞭一本小說,按照他們的想象來詮釋中國的鬼怪,Kwan囉裏囉嗦,絮絮叨叨的真的很煩人,她的鬼一點吸引力都沒有,所以這部作品的藝術成就比起喜福會差的很遠,我是聽語音讀物,每次聽到一半就再也聽不下去瞭,Kwan漫無邊際的鬍扯瞭真的讓人聽不下去瞭。

評分感覺她刻意迎閤西方讀者的口味,替他們量身定做瞭一本小說,按照他們的想象來詮釋中國的鬼怪,Kwan囉裏囉嗦,絮絮叨叨的真的很煩人,她的鬼一點吸引力都沒有,所以這部作品的藝術成就比起喜福會差的很遠,我是聽語音讀物,每次聽到一半就再也聽不下去瞭,Kwan漫無邊際的鬍扯瞭真的讓人聽不下去瞭。
評分其實開始的有點混亂,總是分不清kwan故事裏的人.......但是思維什麼的還比較好理解。
評分This is not my favorite Amy Tan book. I thought the story a little cliche and the main character not as strong as main character of her other stories. But until I read to the very end, I felt something special indescribable about the stories. Tan's storyline are all very similar, but she will always surprise you in the end.
