Helpful Score: 1
I finished all 457 pages of this novel, but sometimes it was a chore. Tan tries to do a "Canterbury Tales" type book with 12 characters, but there are too many for the reader to care about any of them. The plot is a stretch. There is only one part that worked for me, when everyone's secrets come out and the reader gains some depth into their souls. Definitely not up to Tan's usual storytelling standard.
