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

看的过程中因为Kwan没完没了、荒诞不经的故事屡生倦意，没料到看完后细细密密的沦肌浃髓的酸意竟绵延了近一周才好。
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。
评分百读不厌
评分Finally, I really appreciate of Amy Tan’s way of describing Chinese traditional culture. Instead of taking the Yin eyes as a superstition, she describes it as a symbol of love, hope and faith.
评分感觉她刻意迎合西方读者的口味，替他们量身定做了一本小说，按照他们的想象来诠释中国的鬼怪，Kwan啰里啰嗦，絮絮叨叨的真的很烦人，她的鬼一点吸引力都没有，所以这部作品的艺术成就比起喜福会差的很远，我是听语音读物，每次听到一半就再也听不下去了，Kwan漫无边际的胡扯了真的让人听不下去了。
