#1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER - A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK - "[An] absorbing tale of the mother-daughter bond" (People) from the renowned author of The Joy Luck Club and The Backyard Bird Chronicles
"No one writes about mothers and daughters with more empathy than Amy Tan."--The Philadelphia Inquirer Ruth Young and her widowed mother have always had a difficult relationship. But when she discovers writings that vividly describe her mother's tumultuous life growing up in China, Ruth discovers a side of LuLing that she never knew existed. Transported to a backwoods village known as Immortal Heart, Ruth learns of secrets passed along by a mute nursemaid, Precious Auntie; of a cave where dragon bones are mined; of the crumbling ravine known as the End of the World; and of the curse that LuLing believes she released through betrayal. Within the calligraphied pages awaits the truth about a mother's heart, secrets she cannot tell her daughter, yet hopes she will never forget. . . . Conjuring the pain of broken dreams and the power of myths, The Bonesetter's Daughter is an excavation of the human spirit: the past, its deepest wounds, and its most profound hopes.
