The Kitchen God's Wife (Audio Cassette) (Abridged)
The Kitchen God's Wife - Audio Cassette - Abridged Author:Amy Tan A Chinese immigrant, who is convinced she is dying, threatens to celebrate the Chinese New Year by unburdening herself of everybody's hidden truths, thus prompting a series of comic misunderstandings... Winnie and Helen have kept each other's worst secrets for more than fifty years. Now, because she believes she... more » is dying, Helen wants to expose everything.
And Winnie angrily determines that she must be the one to tell her daughter, Pearl, about the past... including the terrible truth even Helen does not know.
And so begins Winnie's story of her life on a small island outside Shanghai in the 1920s, along with other places in China during World War II, and traces the happy and desperate events that led to Winnie's coming to America in 1949.
I really enjoyed this audiobook. The narrator is the author and she is an EXCELLENT reader. Sadly, many writers are not good narrators, but she is wonderful.
