The+Kitchen+God's+Wife

Hey!! I happened to pick up the book 'The Kitchen God's Wife" and it turned out to be one of the best books I have read till date. This amazing novel by Amy Tan explores a mother - daughter relationship and how it develops from a miscommunicated and unpleasant relationship to a more mature and understanding one. It spans the life of Winnie, the protagonist, and explains how events in the Second World War changed her life forever. She discloses secrets to her daugther, Pearl which by the end makes Pearl see her mother in a different light, a strong, brave and courageous woman, a woman who upholds her ideals despite undergoing a cultural revolution and suffering from a bad marriage, countless miscarriages, oppression and wounds that will never heal. Through the course of the book you will understand the significance of the title and get a valuable insight of the Chinese culture. Every part managed to bring tears to my eyes and I would recommend this book to one and all.
