Saving Fish from Drowning

If you have a book club or are in one. This is one of those good reads that is best discussed in a group. There is a questionnaire for a book club and an Author’s interview on how the story was made. On the perspective of a specter, portraying an actual spectator. From the beginning till the end. The depiction of each character development resembles a lot of our society. A reflection of humanity, imagined in another universe. That’s what writing is about, an author and reader sees the world in a singular semi-permanent set-up of a mere telescope. It has a spiritual and psychological connection to the reader and the fictional actors. It made me question about my connections with friends, family and lastly humanity at its good and bad.

I loved this book. Great point when you think you are doing good but you don't understand the circumstances you could actually be doing harm. I read all her books and enjoyed them all. Her culture is so far from mine. I find it very interesting.

I've read this book several times. It veers aware from Tan's normal style of storytelling, but is still rich and enjoyable.
