In memories that rise like wisps of ghosts, LuLing Young searches for the name of her mother, the daughter of the Famous Bonesetter from the Mouth of the Mountain. Trying to hold on to the evaporating past, she begins to write 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 and his two teenage daughters. None of her professional sound bites and pat homilies works for her personal life; she knows only how to translate what others want to say.

Ruth starts suspecting that something is terribly wrong with her mother. As a child, Ruth had been constantly subjected to her mother's disturbing notions about curses and ghosts, and to her repeated threats to kill herself, and was even forced by her mother to try to communicate with ghosts. But now LuLing seems less argumentative, even happy, far from her usual disagreeable and dissatisfied self.

While tending to her ailing mother, Ruth discovers the pages LuLing wrote in Chinese, the story of her tumultuous and star-crossed life, and is transported to a backwoods village known as Immortal Heart. There she learns of secrets passed along by a mute nursemaid, Precious Auntie; of a cave where dragon bones are mined, some of which may prove to be the teeth of Peking Man; of the crumbling ravine known as the End of the World, where Precious Auntie's scattered bones lie, and of the curse that LuLing believes she released through betrayal.

Like layers of sediment being removed, each page reveals secrets of a larger mystery: What became of Peking Man? What was the name of the Bonesetter's Daughter? And who was Precious Auntie, whose suicide changed the path of LuLing's life? Within LuLing's calligraphed pages awaits the truth about a mother's heart, what she cannot tell her daughter yet hopes she will never forget.

Set in contemporary San Francisco and in a Chinese village where Peking Man is being unearthed, The Bonesetter's Daughter is an excavation of the human spirit: the past, its deepest wounds, its most profound hopes. The story conjures the pain of broken dreams, the power of myths, and the strength of love that enables us to recover in memory what we have lost in grief. Over the course of one fog-shrouded year, between one season of falling stars and the next, mother and daughter find what they share in their bones through heredity, history, and inexpressible qualities of love.

評分

虽然都是谭恩美描写的母女情愫,接骨师之女的着力点显然要比喜福会的更具普遍性。没有把母女间矛盾吵闹描画得隽永唯美,反而让这对母女接着地气,互相嫌弃地斗了半辈子法。 女儿眼中的母亲,都在少女时期那么不可理喻,难以忍受却又缺不了,真是让人恨极了。直到长大,包着成...

算得上是谭恩美的一部个人风格非常强烈和经典的书吧.值得一看。里面关于母女关系的描写非常深刻而真切。  

評分

读这本书最大的感觉是书中的人物之间相互不理解的太多太多了。露丝和母亲之间的隔阂自不必说,她和同居十年的男友之间存在的误解还挺让人唏嘘的,庆幸最后还是在一起了。 露丝自小在美国长大(真的很想知道茹灵到美国知道的一些事和露丝小时候的事情)。对于她的童年描述不多...

Amy Tan always has a powerful pen. I enjoyed the keen observation with which she penetrated through space and time, countries and generations. But not very fond of the odd destinies of characters.
