"The Kitchen God's Wife" is somewhat similar to Amy Tan's own story `The Tale of Pearl.' The present novel is set largely in early 90s California and China during the Second World War.
San Francisco is the primary location in the initial chapters of the novel. It is noticeable that San Francisco has a significant Chinese-American population. A major part of the population had moved during and after the Second World War.
The second part of the novel basically concentrates on the lives of Chinese women under the occupation of China. They had to suffer the cruelties at the hands of the occupying forces.
