The Bonesetter's Daughter, Paperback/Amy Tan

" The Bonesetter's Daughter dramatically chronicles the tortured, devoted relationship between LuLing Young and her daughter Ruth.... A strong novel, filled with idiosyncratic, sympathetic characters, haunting images, historical complexity, significant contemporary themes, and suspenseful mystery." - Los Angeles Times "TAN AT HER BEST... Rich and hauntingly forlorn... The writing is so exacting and unique in its detail." - San Francisco Chronicle "For Tan, the true keeper of memory is language, and so the novel is layered with stories that have been written down-by mothers for their daughters, passing along secrets that cannot be said out loud but must not be forgotten." - The New York Times Book Review "AMY TANHAS] DONE IT AGAIN.... The Bonesetter's Daughter tells a compelling tale of family relationships; it layers and stirs themes of secrets, ambiguous meanings, cultural complexity and self-identity; and it resonates with metaphor and symbol." - The Denver Post
