Tan's novel of the conflicts between two very different Chinese American sisters spent 12 weeks on PW's bestseller list.
From School Library Journal
YA?Olivia, the narrator of this story, was born to an American mother and a Chinese father. She meets her 18-year-old Chinese half sister, Kwan, for the first time shortly after their father's death. Kwan adores "Libby-ah" and tries to introduce her to her Chinese heritage through stories and memories. Olivia is embarrassed by her sibling, but finds as she matures that she has inadvertently absorbed much about Chinese superstitions, spirits, and reincarnation. Olivia explains, "My sister Kwan believes she has Yin eyes. She sees those who have died and now dwell in the World of Yin..." Now in her mid-30s, Olivia, a photographer, is still seeking a meaningful life. The climax of the story comes when she and her estranged husband Simeon, a writer, go to China on assignment with Kwan as the interpreter. In the village in which she grew up, Kwan returns to the world of Yin, her mission completed. Olivia finally learns what Kwan was trying to show her: "If people we love die, then they are lost only to our ordinary senses. If we remember, we can find them anytime with our hundred secret senses." The meshing of the contemporary story of Olivia and the tales Kwan tells of her past life in late-19th century China may confuse some readers. Although this story is different from Tan's previous novels because of the supernatural twist, YAs will find some familiar elements.?Carol Clark, R. E. Lee High School, Springfield, VA

感谢豆瓣支持阿北，多评书，看过Amy Tan所有书美籍亚裔没人能敌她，可为什么豆瓣只有三本？---又找到一本，四本啦
评分“Secret sense not really secret. We just call secret because everyone has, only forgotten. “
评分少有的想要摆脱中美种族歧视（虽然不可避免地还是在文中有所体现），把重点从种族转移到信念、爱情等宏大主题的华裔美国文学作品。故事讲得生动又具体，两条线相辅相成，虽说是关于阴阳眼的，却不让人畏惧，反而让人心生向往。最值得赞扬地，是Amy Tan对于中国阴阳眼的描述，她不是把它看成一种迷信，而把它转换成了信念、希望与爱情。值得一看、值得深思的一本书。
评分谭还是很会造故事的。
评分目前对Amy Tan持慢性恶心症状。。。
