The Hundred Secret Senses by Amy Tan

3.0

Amy Tan is a beautiful writer. The characters and stories in this one were not my favorite, however. Olivia is an incesstantly irritating character. She treats Kwan so poorly it almost made me stop reading. She complains all the time and is deeply insecure and does not value the love and affection she receives. So. There's that. Kwan, though, is a lively character. I'm sure she'd also drive me batty, but she's endearing, and I'd love her, too. The ending is trite and predictable in a pretty boring way. I like learning about Chinese stories and history, though, so that's always interesting.
