Synopsis
Spanning the 20th century, the book raises intriguing issues about the nature of literacy, the complications of immigration and the unpredictable lessons of aging. Tan's style is lively, witty, suspenseful and rich in historical detail....This very good novel could have been a brilliant one if not for [the] last 40 pages....Still, THE BONESETTER'S DAUGHTER is a strong novel, filled with idiosyncratic, sympathetic characters, haunting images, historical complexity, significant contemporary themes and suspenseful mystery.
