Description
In her fourth novel, best-selling author Amy Tan tells the captivating story of three generations of strong, self-sacrificing Chinese women. The Bonesetter's Daughter is a powerful excavation of the human spirit. There is much to be learned from the past, if only Ruth Young will be so motivated to seek the truth. Out of guilt, she finally gets around to having her mother's autobiography translated, entitled Things I Know Are True and Things I Must Not Forget.
Ranging from China in the early 1900s to present day San Francisco, the story conjures the pain of broken dreams, the power of myths, and the strength of love - to recover in memory what has been lost in grief.
