This is the author's first non-fiction book. In this remarkably candid book, the author takes the reader on a journey from her childhood , as a sensitive but intelligent Chinese American, ashamed of her parents' Chinese ways, to the present day and her position as one of the world's best-loved and bestselling novelists. This book is an insight into her ancestors, the women who "never let me forget why these stories need to be told". A clean very presentable copy in a Brodart mylar jacket.
Sinopsis
Amy Tan has touched millions of readers with haunting and sympathetic novels of cultural complexity and profound empathy. With the same spirit and humor that characterize her acclaimed novels, she now shares her insight into her own life and how she escaped the curses of her past to make a future of her own. She takes us on a journey from her childhood of tragedy and comedy to the present day and her arrival as one of the world?s best-loved novelists. Whether recalling arguments with her mother in suburban California or introducing us to the ghosts that inhabit her computer, The Opposite of Fate offers vivid portraits of choices, attitudes, charms, and luck in action?a refreshing antidote to the world-weariness and uncertainties we all face today.
