This book did not receive the attention it deserved. Amy Tan is better known for her earlier books, but she is still writing wonderfully. This novel will take you on a trip into Burma, and along the way you will gain a new perspective on what is happening when we North Americans venture into Asia. Great settings, and great observations of life and travel. The weakness of the novel is the last chapter...the story is really over, but Tan just can't let it go yet.
