The Bonesetter's Daughter, published in 2001, is Amy Tan's fourth novel. Like much of Tan's work, this book deals with the relationship between an American-born Chinese woman and her immigrant mother. The Bonesetter's Daughter is divided into two major stories. The first is about Ruth, a Chinese-American woman living in San Francisco. She worries that her elderly mother, Lu Ling, is gradually becoming more and more demented. Lu Ling seems increasingly forgetful, and makes bizarre comments about her family and her own past.

  • The Bonesetter's Daughter, published in 2001, is Amy Tan's fourth novel. Like much of Tan's work, this book deals with the relationship between an American-born Chinese woman and her immigrant mother. The Bonesetter's Daughter is divided into two major stories. The first is about Ruth, a Chinese-American woman living in San Francisco. She worries that her elderly mother, Lu Ling, is gradually becoming more and more demented. Lu Ling seems increasingly forgetful, and makes bizarre comments about her family and her own past. The second major story is that of Lu Ling herself, as written for Ruth. Several years earlier, Lu Ling had written out her life story in Chinese. Ruth arranges to have the document translated, and learns the truth about her mother's life in China. Much of the novel, like Tan's previous work, is based on her relationship with her own mother, and her mother and grandmother's life stories. The first-edition cover photo is an image of Tan's grandmother Gu Jingmei, taken in about 1905. (en)
  • La figlia dell'aggiustaossa, pubblicato nel 2001 dall'editore Putnam Adult negli Stati Uniti, è il quarto romanzo della scrittrice cinese-statunitense Amy Tan. In Italia è stato pubblicato nel 2004 da Feltrinelli. Come la maggior parte delle opere di Amy Tan, il romanzo racconta la storia e il rapporto tra una donna americana di origini cinesi e la madre immigrata negli USA. Il romanzo si dirama in due storie principali. La prima è quella di Ruth, donna cinese-americana che vive a San Francisco. Tra le sue preoccupazioni vi è quella dell'anziana madre Lu Ling, che sembra soffrire di demenza. La memoria di Lu Ling sembra fare cilecca sempre più spesso, mentre la donna si lascia andare in commenti bizzarri sulla propria famiglia ed il proprio passato.La seconda storia è quella di Lu Ling stessa, scritta dalla donna in persona diversi anni prima in cinese per farla leggere alla figlia. Quando Ruth riesce a farsi tradurre la storia, conosce la verità a proposito della vita della madre quando era ancora in Cina. (it)
