Yun Zhen's Reviews > The Hundred Secret Senses

Lovely story :) Not as mindblowing as The Bonesetter's Daughter, but good enough for me to stay up into the wee hours just to finish devouring this book.

The story started out slow and took longer than I liked to reach the climax and there are still a few unanswered questions that I would have preferred answered, like what was Olivia's father's real name. But I guess in the big scheme of things, these little questions are inconsequential and would have distracted from the main plot.

What won me over was Olivia finally accepting her sister and her loyalty and Kwan never coming back, was tragic for me. This book has enough heartwarming tragedies to truly touch the reader.

And of course what was magical for me especially, was Amy Tan's unique ability to weave together many loose threads of plot by the end of the book to create a seamless fabric, an infallible truth.
