Amy Tan always creates magic and transforms me to another time and place. This is an epic tale of grief and resilience that could only be told through the eyes and hearts of her characters. The vignettes help transport the reader to unimaginable places and times. I really enjoy how she weaves it all together. Highly recommend.
