Full description for The Bonesetter's Daughter

  • ""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 TAN [HAS] 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 "
