THE HUNDRED SECRET SENSES

Amy Tan is as delightful to listen to as she is to read. She creates magic in this story of two sisters: Olivia, totally American and pragmatic, and Kwan, Chinese and mystical, who converses more easily with the dead than with the living. Tan's contrasting American and Chinese accents bring both personalities vividly to life and provide enchanting images of alternately conflicting and blending cultures. She needs no special effects to engage the listener's hundred secret senses. B.L.W. ©AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: MAR 96]
