Summary
Violet is one of the most celebrated courtesans in Shanghai. Abandoned by her mother, Lucia, and uncertain of her father's identity, Violet's quest to truly love and be loved will set her on a path fraught with danger and complexity - and the loss of her own daughter. Lucia's search for penance and redemption will bring her to a startling reunion with Flora, Violet's daughter, and will undo all that Violet believed she knew about her mother. Spanning fifty years and two continents, "The Valley of Amazement" sweeps the reader along a deeply moving narrative of family secrets, the legacies of traumas, and the profound connections between mothers and daughters, returning readers to the compelling territory Tan so expertly mapped in "The Joy Luck Club."
