LuLing Young is in her eighties, and finally beginning to feel the effects of old age. Trying to hold on to the evaporating past, she begins to write down all that she can remember of her life as a girl in China. Meanwhile, her daughter Ruth, a ghostwriter for authors of self-help books, is losing the ability to speak up for herself in front of the man she lives with. LuLing can only look on, helpless: her prickly relationship with her daughter does not make it easy to discuss such matters. In turn, Ruth has begun to suspect that something is wrong with her mother: she says so many confusing and contradictory things. Ruth decides to move in with her ailing mother, and while tending to her discovers the story LuLing wrote in Chinese, of her tumultuous life growing up in a remote mountain village known as Immortal Heart. LuLing tells of the secrets passed along by her mute nursemaid, Precious Auntie; of a cave where dragon bones are mined and where Peking Man was discovered; of the crumbling ravine known as the End of the World, where Precious Auntie's bones lie, and of the curse that LuLing believes she released through betrayal. Like layers of sediment being removed, each page unfolds into an even greater mystery: Who was Precious Auntie, whose suicide changed the path of LuLing's life? Set in contemporary San Francisco and pre-war China, ‘The Bonesetter’s Daughter’ is an excavation of the human spirit. With great warmth and humour, Amy Tan gives us a mesmerising story of a mother and daughter discovering together that what they share in their bones through history and heredity is priceless beyond measure.

She's captured the experience of being a Chinese-American daughter in cultural clashes with her Chinese-born mother. And she tells a fascinating story that moves between modern San Francisco and a rural China in the 1920s. Ruth Young, in her mid-forties, makes her living as a ghostwriter for self-help books and is going through difficulties with her live-in boyfriend and his children. Her mother is in the early stages of Alzheimer's and Ruth is watching her gradual decline. But when she comes across a memoir her mother started writing years earlier, it not only brings up her own memories, but she starts to understand her mother better through the gradual revelations of the family secrets. The chapters about Ruth set the stage for the core of the book, which is the story of LuLing, the mother. We learn about the bonesetter's daughter, the terribly scared nursemaid named Precious Annie who raised LuLing and the connections between the generations. It's a story of betrayal and ghosts and a curse through the ages. It's a story of relationships between sisters and teachers and mothers. It's the story of healing and hope and redemption. And it's all so interesting that it's hard to put the book down. Ms. Tan is a fine writer. She brings out some universal truths about a world I'm familiar with as well as those of a world that has vanished and can only be recreated by the skill of the author. Her sense of place is extraordinary and she puts the reader right into the skin of the characters, building the story gradually and adding telling details at just the right moments. I was swept right into it and found bits and pieces intruding on my thoughts until I could get back to it later. It was 353 pages but I wish it had been longer. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/271630226-the-bonesetter-s-daughter](https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/271630226-the-bonesetter-s-daughter) --- *Product available on Desertcart Saudi Arabia* *Store origin: SA* *Last updated: 2026-08-26*
