Amy Tan's books sometimes have the multiple author/perspective, too, as in The Joy Luck Club and The Kitchen God's Wife , although The Joy Luck Club tends to veer back and forth between past and present as the mothers and daughters tell their stories.

Cindy,
right now I'm reading the Kitchen God's Wife by Tan. It's kind of along the same lines as Joy Luck Club, but centers on one family - multiple generations. I'm only about 1/2 way through but I'm surprised at the direction it seems to be heading.
... Bernice Richmond's Winter Harbor (a memoir about summering at a lighthouse in Maine 1939-41) and started Amy Tan's The Kitchen God's Wife . Tan's book was next in my pile, but Richmond's book put me in the mood for Virginia Woolf's To the Lighthouse, a work I read and enjoyed long ago.

Also, to add to the list of authors I dislike with a passion: Gail Tsukiyama. I dislike Amy Tan , as well, but not with a passion, mostly because I haven't had the misfortune of reading all the way through a book of hers, I'd guess. With both of them, the words ...

... really is an excellent book. Have decided to tackle it in chunks, since it's not necessarily an easy read.
Now reading The Kitchen God's Wife by Amy Tan. The Bonesetter's Daughter by the same author is one of my favourites ever, and this one is shaping up pretty well too.

#95: I read The Joy Luck Club when I was 14 or 15. It's an excellent book, I really enjoyed it. I tried to read The Kitchen God's Wife after that, but the themes didn't really have anything to do with my life at the time. Amy Tanis one of my mother's favorite authors though, so I ...

The Kitchen God's Wife by Amy Tan. I am feeling soooo guilty about the Hemingway book which stalled us. This one should be a lot easier.

I am about 50 pages away from finishing both Shopgirl & A History of the Wife. Up next is The Kitchen God's Wife & Sex with Kings.
I only read Kitchen by Banana Yoshimoto, and liked it quite a lot. As marietherese says, her deceivingly "simple" prose is quite captivating. Perhaps I should get more of her books.
