The Hundred Secret Senses

by Amy Tan
RM33.24 MYR
The Hundred Secret Senses
The Hundred Secret Senses

Sisterly bonds intertwined with haunting ancestral tales.

The way Amy Tan weaves the spiritual with the everyday makes "The Hundred Secret Senses" quite compelling. It's not just a story about sisters or family dynamics; it's about how the past, and sometimes even the supernatural, can shape our lives in ways we don't expect. Kwan’s unfaltering belief in the supernatural, set against Olivia’s desire for normalcy, creates a fascinating contrast that could deeply resonate with anyone who's grappled with family differences and the search for self-understanding.

Description

Olivia Yee is only five years old when Kwan, her older sister from China, comes to live with the family and turns her life upside down, bombarding her day and night with ghostly stories of strange ancestors from the world of Yin. Olivia just wants to lead a normal American life. For the next thirty years, Olivia endures visits from Kwan and her ghosts, who appear in the living world to offer advice on everything from restaurants to Olivia's failed marriage. But just when she cannot bear it anymore, the revelations of a tragic family secret finally open her mind to the startling truths hidden in Kwan's unorthodox vision of the world.
