The Kitchen God's Wife- Amy Tan




Amy Tan's second novel explores more into mother-daughter relationship and picks up the thread left by the first novel. Moreover it's the story of 2 Chinese women- their miserable childhood, unhappy married life, ordeal through second world war,escapade to America, new life, more secrets and their love-hate relationship throughout their life. Immigrants and expatriates force their children to follow their values an traditions, but the new generation always refuses causing much stress and strife. The central character is Amy Tan's own mother. It's their story.

 How do my daughters rate me? Totally disturbed.....
