Book Description:
Set in contemporary San Francisco and in a Chinese village where Peking Man is being unearthed, THE BONESETTER'S DAUGHTER is an excavation of the human spirit: the past, it's deepest wounds, it's most profound hopes. The story conjures the pain of broken dreams, the power of myths, and the strength of love that enables us to recover in memory what we have lost in grief. Over the course of one fog-shrouded year, between one season of falling stars and the next, mother and daughter find what they share in their bones through heredity, history, and inexpressible qualities of love.

Set in contemporary San Francisco and in a Chinese village where Peking Man is being unearthed. This is the story of a mother and daughter and the human spirit. Through her mother's journal Ruth learns of her family's history, her mother's struggles and hopes in growing up in a very rough time.

I thought this book was very good and touching.
