I read it in one day. Great stuff. As the grandchild of an immigrant, I love the pull between the old world traditions and the modern culture.

This was the first Amy Tan book I ever read. Loved it. Made me want to read everything she ever wrote.

Beautiful writing. Heavy at times. Cried and laughed. Will be thinking about this book for a while. 

This made me cry, laugh, and get mad at different parts of each story.
If you come from complex families
moms who hassle you but you still love them
Know too much family history
Know bits/pieces to family lore but was never told all the information…
this book can relate.
