12.04: Amy Tan

2013-10-16 22:36:10| Powells Books Events Calendar

Amy Tan's The Valley of Amazement (Ecco) is a sweeping, evocative epic of two women's intertwined fates and their search for identity. Spanning more than 40 years and two continents, Tan's new novel resurrects pivotal episodes in history: from the collapse of China's last imperial dynasty, to the rise of the Republic, to the explosive growth of lucrative foreign trade and anti-foreign sentiment, to the inner workings of courtesan houses and the lives of the foreign "Shanghailanders" living in the International Settlement. Imbued with Tan's characteristic insight and humor, The Valley of Amazement returns readers to the compelling territory of The Joy Luck Club.
