A New Novel from the Bestselling Author of The Joy Luck Club

Valley of Amazement
A Booklist "starred review," The Valley of Amazement is a story about Lulu, an America who is running a first-class courtesan house in Shanghai in 1905, her daughter, Violet and granddaughter, Flora.  The book explores the complicated and complex relationships between mothers and daughters, as well as tradition and new beginnings.

"Spanning fifty years and two continents, The Valley of Amazement is a deeply moving narrative of family secrets, the legacy of trauma, and the profound connections between mothers and daughters, that returns readers to the compelling territory Amy Tan so expertly mapped in The Joy Luck Club. With her characteristic wisdom, grace, and humor, she conjures a story of the inheritance of love, its mysteries and senses, its illusions and truths." - Booklist Reviews
