Sobre este artículo
New York: G.P. Putnam's Sons, 1989. First edition of the author's most well known work. Octavo, original half cloth. Boldly signed by Amy Tan on the title page. Fine in a fine dust jacket without wear. Jacket illustration by Gretchen Shields. Brilliant....Each story is a fascinating vignette, and together they they weave the reader through a world where the Moon Lady can grant any wish, where a child, promised in marriage at two and delivered at 12, can, with cunning, free herself; where a rich man's concubine secures her daughter's future by killing herself, and where a woman can live on, knowing she has lost her entire life" (Washington Post).
