Pros: Beautiful language, characters you learn to care about Cons: Fans expecting more of the same from previous works may be surprised
In many ways, _The Hundred Secret Senses_ is an interesting departure from Amy Tan's earlier two novels, which focus primarily on the mother-daughter relationship. I enjoyed the two earlier books, but I didn't care for this one at first....
I highly recommend listening to the unabridged audiobook version of this story, for exactly that reason - it's a story, and Amy Tan is a first rate storyteller. If you haven't heard her read her own works, you're missing out. The intricate plots are...

This is my favorite book by author Amy Tan. I have enjoyed everything that I have read by her, but this book really stands out. I really liked the sister-sister dynamic that takes place in this book, and was spellbound by the rich story of ancient China...
