A major novel from the internationally bestselling author of The Joy Luck Club, The Kitchen God's Wife and The Hundred Secret Senses. LuLing Young is now in her eighties, and finally beginning to feel the effects of old age. Trying to hold on to the evaporating past, she begins to write down all that she can remember of her life as a girl in China. Meanwhile, her daughter Ruth, a ghostwriter for authors of self-help books, is losing the ability to speak up for herself in front of the man she lives with. LuLing can only look on, helpless: her prickly relationship with her daughter does not make it easy to discuss such matters. In turn, Ruth has begun to suspect that something is wrong with her mother: she says so many confusing and contradictory things. Ruth decides to move in with her ailing mother, and while tending to her discovers the story LuLing wrote in Chinese, of her tumultuous life growing up in a remote mountain village known as Immortal Heart. LuLing tells of the secrets passed along by her mute nursemaid, Precious Auntie; of a cave where dragon bones are mined and where Peking Man was discovered; of the crumbling ravine known as the End of the World, where Precious Auntie's bones lie, and of the curse that LuLing believes she released through betrayal. Like layers of sediment being removed, each page unfolds into an even greater mystery: Who was Precious Auntie, whose suicide changed the path of LuLing's life?Set in contemporary San Francisco and pre-war China, The Bonesetter's Daughter is an excavation of the human spirit. With great warmth and humour, Amy Tan gives us a mesmerising story of a mother and daughter discovering together that what they share in their bones through history and heredity is priceless beyond measure.

比《喜福会》更能打动我，因为叙述母女三代的故事情感比较集中，不像前者叙述好几对母女的故事太分散。 小说结构明了，第一部分是露丝与茹灵的现代美国生活，看得挺痛苦因为没有家庭生活的代入感，种种琐碎小事略略读过，但是埋下了许多关于陈年往事的坑。第二部分是茹灵为第一...  

《接骨师之女》是谭恩美的第四部小说，延续了《喜福会》的母女情感模式和平实流畅的叙述风格，从内容来看，这仍是一部讲述华裔移民故事的小说。这类小说往往由三种叙事构成：一是第一代移民讲述或转述的、发生在母文化社会中的、富有传奇色彩的家族故事，二是第一代移民以...

写得挺精致的，当LuLing的故事慢慢展现在读者面前，之前的gibberish全部都符合逻辑，不再是疯言疯语…结婚两次，两个老公都死了，也是悲。
