A review by donnaburtwistle
The Valley of Amazement by Amy Tan

3.0

It has been a long time since I read Amy Tan's work and I was not disappointed here. Delving into the world of Chinese courtesans at the turn of the 20th century, her book focuses on Violet, the daughter of Lulu, a successful madam. All I can say here is that thank the sweet baby Jesus that I was not a woman born in China during this time.
