I never thought I would really get into a novel that has shimmering ghosts as part of the theme. But I did! The interaction of the two main characters, half-sisters Olivia and Kwan, is complicated due to a host of reasons, not the least of which is Olivia's entanglement in so many personal problems. But Kwan, in an indirect way, slowly but surely disentangles them for her half-sister. Past lives, glimpses in China's history - all come into play here. Kwan's character won me over: her childlike, unabashedley frank and totally selfless personality coupled with unexpected wisdom of an aged person, the realistic ease with which Amy Tan describes Kwan as a Chinese person who finds herself in foreign to her circumstances and adjusts to them in her own way - all this, combined, leads to an unexpected and interesting denouement. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension

I'm not sorry I finished the book though. Kwan and her Yin eyes, the tales of the ghosts, those were enchanting. ( )
