In this sweeping saga, Amy Tan (The Joy Luck Club) returns with the story of Violet and her mother Lucia. Violet, half-Chinese and half-American, must come to terms with her heritage and her mother’s abandonment. A headstrong child, she becomes a celebrated courtesan after unfortunate events, following near the steps of her mother. Lucia, once the proprietress of the foremost courtesan house in Shanghai, has a history she does not want repeated. An epic novel full of family secrets, fraught bonds between mother and daughter that is set against the backdrop of turn-of-the-century Shanghai. This is a must read.
