The Hundred Secret Senses is an exultant novel about China and America, love and loyalty, the identities we invent and the true selves we discover along the way. Olivia Laguni is half-Chinese, but typically American in her uneasiness with her patchwork family. And no one in Olivia's family is more embarrassing to her than her half-sister, Kwan Li. For Kwan speaks mangled English, is cheerfully deaf to Olivia's sarcasm, and sees the dead with her "yin eyes."
Even as Olivia details the particulars of her decades-long grudge against her sister (who, among other things, is a source of infuriatingly good advice), Kwan Li is telling her own story, one that sweeps us into the splendor, squalor, and violence of Manchu China. And out of the friction between her narrators, Amy Tan creates a work that illuminates both the present and the past sweetly, sadly, hilariously, with searing and vivid prose.
"Truly magical...unforgettable...this novel...shimmer[s] with meaning."--San Diego Tribune
" The Hundred Secret Senses doesn't simply return to a world but burrows more deeply into it, following new trails to fresh revelations."--Newsweek

在Coffee House里借了将近半年才还回去的一本书，可能是因为读研后的心境不太一样，在或许是amy的这本书是自己的一种新尝试，过度依赖灵异故事神鬼传说和命运这些概念。反而让我对这本书的感觉变得陌生起来，但是总之，还是一如既往钟爱AMY TAN。

评分谭恩美真的擅长讲故事。开始很有趣、语言也很好，但这书有点虎头蛇尾。
