Tan, A: The Valley of Amazement

Praise for Amy Tan: 'Among our great storytellers. In each of her previous novels, she has seduced readers with the intimate magic of her tale' New York Times 'Tan is a prodigal with her talent. She weaves a dazzling web of unfamiliar colours, smells, tastes and landscapes' Sunday Telegraph 'There is something dizzyingly elemental about Tan's storytelling; it melds the rich simplicities of fairytales with a delicate lyrical style' Sunday Times 'Could there be a better model for writers today than Amy Tan? She tells great stories with powerful themes: love, belonging, exile, death, compassion. She moves easily between pathos, comedy and joy' Scotland on Sunday
