 Gives the reader an understanding of Chinese culture. Wonderful story, albeit frequently quite sad.

 I watched this movie about a year ago and really liked it. Recently, I decided to finally pick this book up to read it.

Amy Tan did a beautiful job writing this book and was able to really capture the history and lives of the 8 main characters. I especially enjoyed the cross-generational relationships between mother and daughters in the book, especially from a Chinese perspective. The book really shows their bonds and how cross-cultural and cross-generational characteristics affects it.

I would recommend reading this book before watching the movie. The movie is also very good and is highly recommended.

 I thought this book was very interesting! I think that it has so many interpersonal conflicts in communication and relationships. It really showed me that mothers and daughters can be a lot alike yet very different. I would recommend this book to my friends and family.
