The writing is so exacting and unique in its detail." -- San Francisco Chronicle " The Bonesetter's Daughter dramatically chronicles the tortured, devoted relationship between LuLing Young and her daughter Ruth. . . . A strong novel, filled with idiosyncratic, sympathetic characters, haunting images, historical complexity, significant contemporary themes, and suspenseful mystery." -- Los Angeles Times "For Tan, the true keeper of memory is language, and so the novel is layered with stories that have been written down--by mothers for their daughters, passing along secrets that cannot be said out loud but must not be forgotten." -- The New York Times Book Review "Amy Tan [has] done it again. . . .

Nowhere has she explored it with more compassion or charm than in this touching new novel." -- The Richmond Times-Dispatch "An enchanting story of a mother and daughter, the secrets they have kept from one another, and the common ground they finally come to occupy.... A powerful, luminously written saga in which past and present are bound together into the tangled skein of a human life." -- The Anniston Star "A riveting, multi-layered tale . . .
