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, its deepest wounds, its 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.

Rebecca H. (amichai) from SAN FRANCISCO, CA wrote on 3/5/2008...


Yet another insightful and evocative narrative by Amy Tan. We gradually learn the story that haunts one daughter after another in an unusually unlucky family. The audio cassette version is well read. To me, this is another example of American magical realism...of a Chinese-American sub-category. Lovely book.
