Multicultural Asian | Women's Fiction Historical
Amy Tan’s THE VALLEY OF AMAZEMENT is a sweeping, evocative
epic of two women’s intertwined fates and their search for
identity, that moves from the lavish parlors of Shanghai
courtesans to the fog-shrouded mountains of a remote Chinese
village. Spanning more than forty years and two continents, The
Valley of Amazement resurrects pivotal episodes in history:
from the collapse of China’s last imperial dynasty, to the
rise of the Republic, 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,
both erased by World War II. A deeply evocative narrative about the profound connections
between mothers and daughters, The Valley of Amazement
returns readers to the compelling territory of Amy Tan’s THE
JOY LUCK CLUB. With her characteristic insight and humor,
she conjures a story of inherited trauma, desire and
deception, and the power and stubbornness of love.
