O melhor livro que li da Amy Tan.
Da contracapa:
"Ruth Young suspects that something is terribly wrong with her mother. As a child, Ruth was constantly subjected to her mother's disturbing notions about curses and ghosts and to her repreated threats of suicide. But now LuLing Young seems happy - far from her usual disagreeable and dissatisfied self.
Ailing and struggling to hold on to the evaporating past, LuLing begins to write all that she can remember of her life as a girl in China. When Ruth discovers the papers, she is transported to a backwoods village known as Immortal Heart. Like layers of sediment being removed, each page reveals secrets: of the mute nursemaid, Precious Auntie, and about a mother's heart that she cannot tell her daughter, yet hopes she will never forget. The Bonesetter's Daughter is a luminous novel of the human spirit, revealing two women whose history and love are shared deep in their bones."
