Description
In Amy Tan's poignant novel, Ruth Young grapples with a strained relationship with her aging mother, LuLing, who is slowly losing her memory. Before her mind fades completely, LuLing entrusts Ruth with her writings, unlocking a hidden past filled with ancient Chinese traditions, family curses, and a young woman's defiance. As Ruth delves into her mother's story, she uncovers a tale of love, sacrifice, and resilience set against the backdrop of a remote mountain village and a curse tied to a legendary bonesetter. This journey into her mother's history will ultimately reshape Ruth's understanding of family, forgiveness, and the enduring power of truth across generations.
