i have always been a fan of amy tan.
i just realized now that i have read
pretty much all of her fiction books....
which actually makes me a little sad.
i was hoping there were more.

but i was excited to see that she has written
a memoir called "where the past begins; a writer's memoir"...
if there is anything i love more than a memoir
(and i do love those!)
it's a WRITER'S MEMOIR.
i'm totally going to look for that one!

plus i didn't realize she had other non-fiction books
including one about being in a band!

so...back to the book...

i loved it but you knew i was going to say that, i think.

i love books about relationships and family...
and amy tan's books tend to revolve heavily around
mother/daughter relationships.
her style of writing is full of beautiful imagery and conversation,
history and customs...some mystery, some secrets to be uncovered...
i loved this book and would totally recommend any of her books.

but right now
i have to go and find her other books
AND i just realized she did a TED talk...on creativity!
and if there is anything i love more than a TED talk
(and i do love TED talks)
it's a TED talk about creativity from a WRITER!
