Bonesetter's Daughter

Let me say, Amy Tan wasn't a writer I enjoyed reading. . . until I read THE BONESETTER'S DAUGHTER. Her writing style continually lured me in, as well as her plot. I found the mother's story most intriguing, accidentally learning a lot about Chinese history & culture in the process. I live close to the US setting in this book, which made it seem familiar, but that's not a necessity. If you are looking for a book to live in with authentic, imperfect characters dealing with their authentic, imperfect families, this is the book to read. I found the JOY LUCK CLUB taxing to read, but I couldn't put down THE BONESETTER'S DAUGHTER.
