labellarte 's review for:
The Hundred Secret Senses
by Amy Tan
This was a charming story. Kwan’s heart is so big and she makes you laugh out loud many times. It tells of the many kinds of love and that faith in it can a carry one far. The quote on the final page took my breath away- I’ve gone back to reread it 4 times today since I finished the book:
“I think Kwan intended to show me the world is not a place but the vastness of the soul. And the soul is nothing more than love, limitless, endless, all that moves us towards knowing what is true. I once thought love was supposed to be nothing but bliss. I now know it is also worry and grief, hope and trust. And believing in ghosts-that’s believing love never dies. If people we love die, then they are only lost to our ordinary senses. If we remember, we can find them anytime with our hundred secret senses.”
