"THE WISEST AND MOST CAPTIVATING NOVEL TAN HAS WRITTEN."--The Boston Sunday Globe

"TRULY MAGICAL . . . UNFORGETTABLE . . . The first-person narrator is Olivia Laguni, and her unrelenting nemesis from childhood on is her half-sister, Kwan Li. . . . It is Kwan's haunting predictions, her implementation of the secret senses, and her linking of the present with the past that cause this novel to shimmer with meaning--and to leave it in the readers mind when the book has long been finished."

--The San Diego Tribune

"HER MOST POLISHED WORK . . . Tan is a wonderful storyteller, and the story's many strands--Olivia's childhood, her courtship and marriage, Kwan's ghost stories and village tales--propel the work to its climactic but bittersweet end." --USA Today

"TAN HAS ONCE MORE PRODUCED A NOVEL WONDERFULLY LIKE A HOLOGRAM: turn it this way and find Chinese-Americans shopping and arguing in San Francisco; turn it that way and the Chinese of Changmian village in 1864 are fleeing into the hills to hide from the rampaging Manchus. . . . THE HUNDRED SECRET SENSES doesn't simply return to a world but burrows more deeply into it, following new trails to fresh revelations.

--Newsweek

用户评价

还是觉得对Amy Tan 的评价是对的，a good story teller

虽然故事叙述的有些混乱，但的确是能让外国人了解一些中国人特有的想法。

I am so sick of her...

挺好看的。各种富有想象力，比如人生前有什么信仰，死后就进入哪种天堂／投胎。但是有些地方有硬伤。不过语言还蛮好。

觉得自己和olivia很多想法很相似 一直被自己的执念追逐 其实都是自己在折磨自己sigh
