Description
Amy Tan's memoir offers a deeply personal exploration of her life as a writer and the experiences that shaped her fiction. Through vivid memories of her childhood and confessions from her journals, she reveals the inspirations behind her novels and the emotional truths that underlie them. Tan delves into family memorabilia to uncover shocking secrets about her past, including the reasons behind her parents' lies and the mysteries surrounding her maternal grandmother. With characteristic humour and candour, she shares her complex relationship with her father, who died when she was fifteen, for the first time publicly. This memoir is a journey into the workings of Tan's writer's mind, exploring the fluid boundaries between memory, imagination, and truth.
