Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 January 2015 Verified Purchase I love Amy Tan so I am rather biased when I say that this is the most beautiful book I have ever read. And out of the friction between her narrators, Amy Tan creates a work that illuminates both the present and the past sweetly, sadly, hilariously, with searing and vivid prose.'Truly novel.shimmer with meaning.'-San Diego Tribune'The Hundred Secret Senses doesn't simply return to a world but burrows more deeply into it, following new trails to fresh revelations.'-Newsweek The Hundred Secret Senses is an exultant novel about China and America, love and loyalty, the identities we invent and the true selves we discover along the way. In The Hundred Secret Senses, Tan’s attention shifts to explore the relationship between sisters. For Kwan speaks mangled English, is cheerfully deaf to Olivia's sarcasm, and sees the dead with her 'yin eyes.'Even as Olivia details the particulars of her decades-long grudge against her sister (who, among other things, is a source of infuriatingly good advice), Kwan Li is telling her own story, one that sweeps us into the splendor, squalor, and violence of Manchu China. And no one in Olivia's family is more embarrassing to her than her half-sister, Kwan Li.

In 1962, five-year-old Olivia meets the half-sister she never knew existed, eighteen-year-old Kwan from China, who sees ghosts with her yin eyes.

Olivia Laguni is half-Chinese, but typically American in her uneasiness with her patchwork family. Read 1,941 reviews from the world’s largest community for readers.
