In memories that rise like wisps of ghosts, LuLing Young searches for the name of her mother, the daughter of the Famous Bonesetter from the Mouth of the Mountain. Trying to hold on to the evaporating past, she begins to write all that she can remember of her life as a girl in China. Meanwhile, her daughter Ruth, a ghostwriter for authors of self-help books, is losing the ability to speak up for herself in front of the man she lives with and his two teenage daughters. None of her professional sound bites and pat homilies works for her personal life; she knows only how to translate what others want to say.

Ruth starts suspecting that something is terribly wrong with her mother. As a child, Ruth had been constantly subjected to her mother's disturbing notions about curses and ghosts, and to her repeated threats to kill herself, and was even forced by her mother to try to communicate with ghosts. But now LuLing seems less argumentative, even happy, far from her usual disagreeable and dissatisfied self.

While tending to her ailing mother, Ruth discovers the pages LuLing wrote in Chinese, the story of her tumultuous and star-crossed life, and is transported to a backwoods village known as Immortal Heart. There she learns of secrets passed along by a mute nursemaid, Precious Auntie; of a cave where dragon bones are mined, some of which may prove to be the teeth of Peking Man; of the crumbling ravine known as the End of the World, where Precious Auntie's scattered bones lie, and of the curse that LuLing believes she released through betrayal.

Like layers of sediment being removed, each page reveals secrets of a larger mystery: What became of Peking Man? What was the name of the Bonesetter's Daughter? And who was Precious Auntie, whose suicide changed the path of LuLing's life? Within LuLing's calligraphed pages awaits the truth about a mother's heart, what she cannot tell her daughter yet hopes she will never forget.

Set in contemporary San Francisco and in a Chinese village where Peking Man is being unearthed, The Bonesetter's Daughter is an excavation of the human spirit: the past, its deepest wounds, its most profound hopes. The story conjures the pain of broken dreams, the power of myths, and the strength of love that enables us to recover in memory what we have lost in grief. Over the course of one fog-shrouded year, between one season of falling stars and the next, mother and daughter find what they share in their bones through heredity, history, and inexpressible qualities of love.

睡不着爬起来，想写日记，发现很多东西放在心里沉淀了就没有好说的。 想起来今天看实验室新到的「周末画报」，新闻版的最后几页里居然有一页谭恩美的简短介绍和访谈，当时觉得很惊异，好好看了一遍，其中印象深刻的是她提到母亲一直教导她的人生观，她说了一段话，大意是你可...  

看这部书总联想到张小姐写的《金锁记》同一个时代多少会带有那个时代的烙印。这个主人公和曹七巧有一样的作劲，但是总的来说还算是个可爱多。中国人大都对孩子的是“食指”教育--骂你是爱的表现；老外提倡“拇指”教育--鼓励赞扬。坏的好的，总是自觉或不自觉地把事情等先进行...

第一次接触移民文学，我所感兴趣的还是中间部分，人物在中国历史背景下的命运。书的整体脉络很清晰，但语言、思维的美国化太明显。 谁都有秘密。那些真相该被尊重，也该被挖掘。 我像如意一样，寻求骨子里的性格根源。常常往事也会猛的袭来，心里一平空荡，像有...  

这是典型的女性小说. 爱,曾经的名字是折磨,经过岁月的洗涤,沉淀下的记忆因为有爱,而如金子般贵重.茹灵是失语的宝姨的女儿,翻译.如意是英语不佳的茹灵的女儿,翻译.三代女人的爱在轮回中再现. 非常赞同书后的评论:此书的结构,是精雕细刻的象牙球,一层镂空里面还有一层,层层不穷,...  

读这本书最大的感觉是书中的人物之间相互不理解的太多太多了。露丝和母亲之间的隔阂自不必说，她和同居十年的男友之间存在的误解还挺让人唏嘘的，庆幸最后还是在一起了。 露丝自小在美国长大（真的很想知道茹灵到美国知道的一些事和露丝小时候的事情）。对于她的童年描述不多...  

This is a great book! Very touching...The mother-daughter relationship has always be tense but as the daughter finds out her mother's past, she starts to understand why her mother behaves the way she does. Her way of love is different but it is always there!

Amy Tan always has a powerful pen. I enjoyed the keen observation with which she penetrated through space and time, countries and generations. But not very fond of the odd destinies of characters.
