If you haven’t read the books, go now and read them. And it’s not good enough to say that you’ve seen the movie. Read the books! I don’t care how old you are, what you’re reading now, or what you’ve heard about the books, you must read them!

I enjoy Amy Tan’s books very much. She writes about the Chinese American experience. In this book, as with most of them, I enjoyed the parts that took place in China best. This book chronicles one woman’s quest to understand her difficult mother.
