“The Hundred Secret Senses” by Amy Tan
“Set in San Francisco and in a remote village of Southwestern China, Amy Tan's The Hundred Secret Senses is a tale of American assumptions shaken by Chinese ghosts and broadened with hope. In 1962, five-year-old Olivia meets the half-sister she never knew existed, eighteen-year-old Kwan from China, who sees ghosts with her de ella “yin eyes de ella.” Decades later, Olivia describes her complicated relationship with her sister de ella and her failing marriage de ella, as Kwan reveals her story de ella, sweeping the reader into the splendor and violence of mid-nineteenth century China. ”
