Honoring Amy Tan, born today February 19, 1952.
Amy Tan has a unique and personal style of writing. I find her work to be deep and compelling. She often writes with a rawness that can feel a bit gritty, but at the same time it makes the novel feel more real and attractive.She has a lovely way of lacing history and culture into her stories, it is an added appeal (for me at least.) Amy Tan is a beautiful story teller, whose writing will capture and enrapture you.
On my favorites Amy Tan novels:

She also wrote a book of musing on her own life which I look forward to reading.
