"AN ENERGETIC, ARTLESS AND ARRESTING VOICE...
THE JOY LUCK CLUB, Amy Tan's first novel, was both a critical success and a phenomenal bestseller. Her new novel is bigger, bolder and better.... In THE KITCHEN GOD'S WIFE, Amy Tan has honed [her] talk-story talent to create a larger, richer and more integrated world.... [Its] glowing moments light up the page.' -The Washington Post Book World
"She is a wonderful writer with a rare power to touch the heart.... THE KITCHEN GOD'S WIFE is an absorbing narrative of Winnie Louie's life, which she tells-or offers-as a gift to her daughter Pearl. Much happens in the telling: long-held secrets are revealed, and a family's myths are transferred ceremoniously to the next generation. ... Tan returns to the richly textured world she began to explore in the earlier book, the world of California's immigrant Chinese . . . with its brilliant tapestry of characters and conflicts here and overseas.... Tan is one of the prime storytellers writing fiction today."
-Newsweek
"A harrowing, compelling and at times bitterly humorous tale in which an entire world unfolds in a Tolstoyan tide of event and detail ... Give yourself over to the world Ms. Tan creates for you."
