Helpful Score: 1


This is one of my favorite books of all time, and I have read it over and over.

Tan has this amazing ability to welcome you into the life of her characters, expose to you their secrets, their insecurities, their flaws, their joys, and their strengths.
Each character in this novel has been given her own rich back story that reveals her true magic self throughout the course of generations. Piece by piece, the reader is given parts of a puzzle, and the pieces comes together at the end of the story to reveal a beautiful tapestry of love, resilience, and self-sacrifice.
