babsql 's review for:
The Hundred Secret Senses
by Amy Tan
I had a stack of Amy Tan books purchased at a used book sale a number of years ago and decided this was the time to read them. This book was the last of that stack and my favorite. Sometimes her ‘bad mom’ theme gets tiresome but in this book it didn’t get in the way too much. Others have reviewed the book quite nicely so I’ve decided to just type up a few quotes that spoke to me for one reason of another. But each of those pages caused me to stop reading and process what I’d just read.
“Love is tricky. It is never mundane or daily. You can never get used to it.You have to walk with it, then let it walk with you.”
“Now I am content. With Yiban, I love and am loved, fully and freely, nothing expected, more than enough received.”
“... whereas men rely on more primitive functions. See rock, chase. Danger, sniff, go find. Smoke cigar later. I resent Simon’s carelessness. And yet, I have to admit, I find it seductive...”
“The odor is trapped in my brain as visceral memory, emotional residue of stomach-cramping fear and sadness, but without the reason that caused it.”
