A stunning reissue of the international bestseller, from the
much-loved author of The Joy Luck Club and The Bonesetter's
Daughter. Pearl Louie Brandt has a terrible secret which she tries
desperately to keep from her mother, Winne Louie. And Winnie has
long kept her own secrets -- about her past and the confusing
circumstances of Pearl's birth. Fate intervenes in the form of
Helen Kwong, Winnie's so-called sister-in-law, who believes she is
dying and must unburden herself of all falsehoods before she flies
off to heaven. But, unfortunately, the truth comes in many guises,
depending on who is telling the tale. . . Thus begins a story that
takes us back to Shanghai in the 1920s, through World War II, and
the harrowing events that led to Winnie's arrival in America in
1949. The story is one of innocence and its loss, tragedy and
survival and, most of all, the enduring qualities of hope, love and
friendship.
