Description:
In The Hundred Secret Senses, Amy Tan fashions an exalting, exultant novel about China and America, love and loyalty, the identities we invent and the selves we discover along the way. Olivia Laguni is half-Chinese but typically American in her uneasiness with her patchwork family. And no one in Olivia's family is more embarrassing to her than her half-sister, Kwan Li. For Kwan speaks mangled English, is cheerfully deaf to Olivia's sarcasm, and sees the dead with her "yin eyes".
Expand description
Even as Olivia details the particulars of her grudge against her sister, Kwan Li is telling her own story, one that sweeps us into the splendor, squalor, and violence of Manchu China. And out of the friction between her narrators, Amy Tan illuminates both the present and the past -- sweetly, sadly, hilariously, and in prose so vivid you can feel its electricity on the page.
