This book is absolutely wonderful. I assign chapters for my literature analysis essay because there is so, so much to drive into. Amy Tan weaves themes through her language and scenes in a nuanced way that leaves so much to uncover and consider.

"Writing is different. Ordinary people don't understand. Other people get into occupations by accident or design; but writers are born. We have to write. I have to write. I could work at selling motels, or slopping hogs, for fifty years, but if someone asked my occupation, I'd say writer, even if I'd never sold a word. Writers write. Other people talk." - W.P. Kinsella - Shoeless Joe (book that inspired Field of Dreams)
