The Bonesetter's Daughter by Amy Tan

The Bonesetter's Daughter

by Amy Tan

A major new novel from the internationally bestselling author of The Joy Luck Club, The Kitchen God's Wife and The Hundred Secret Senses.

The tremendous success of Amy Tan's novels - each one an international Number One bestseller - lies in her capacity to evoke, vividly and with subtle humour, the cultural dislocation of America's Chinese community. In each of her books, she has given us wonderful stories about the tortuous lives of an older generation of women whose fate has brought them from China to the US, and also those of their culturally-confused, American-born daughters. In this new novel, Tan takes this theme once again and, with characteristic warmth, energy and invention, has produced an unforgettable tale of hope, love and friendship.
