Fascinating insights into Tan's "world" and where she gets her story ideas. Some nice anecdotes though the mother-daughter examples she cites start to wear thin after awhile. Still, was worth reading. She really is a pioneer in Asian-American literature.

Good book â she writes a self-deprecating memoir. Her family history was very interesting.

A memoir of the Chinese contemporary author being raised in middle-class America by her two hard-working Chinese parents. It was one of the best books I have read!
