A Wonderful Generational Tale,
By
This review is from: The Bonesetter's Daughter (Audio CD)
Amy Tan and Joan Chen have teamed to share a beautiful tale of three generations of Chinese women. I loved the story, and was captivated by both narrators' abilities to draw me into the lives of Ruth (a self-sufficient American editor), her mother, LiuLing (showing definite signs of Alzheimers), and LiuLing's mother, Precious Auntie (disfigured and unable to speak due to terrible facial burns). LiuLing and Precious Auntie's stories are told through old letters...Precious Auntie's tragic tale is shared with her daughter LiuLing too late, and LiuLing's life finally unfold's for Ruth *nearly* too late. I loved the relationships between the women, recognizing some of the same early signs of mental aging in my own mother and mother-in-law, which really helped me identify with Ruth.
Give this one a try. I hope you're as captivated as I was, listening to a wonderful story read by excellent narrators. LOVED it. |
