Amy Tan.
Sounds familiar? If you're a big fan of The Joy Luck Club (like I am!), you've definitely heard of Amy Tan :) I personally think The Joy Luck Club book is lots better than the movie version. In fact, a lot of books are better than their on-screen projections, e.g. The Da Vinci Code and Harry Potter.
Anyways, I digressed. Here's Amy Tan's The Hundred Secret Senses:
Summary:
Olivia Yee is only five years old when Kwan, her older sister from China, comes to live with the famly and turns her life upside down, bombarding her day and night with ghostly stories of strange ancestors from the world of Yin. Olivia just wants to lead a normal American life. For the next thirty years, Olivia endures visits from Kwan and her ghosts, who appear in the living world to offer advice on everything from restaurants to Livia's failed marriage. But just when she cannot bear it any more, the revelations of a tragic family secret finally open her mind to the startling truths hidden in Kwan's unorthodox vision of the world.
The book's in relatively good condition, only slightly yellowed. Bought for RM44.90.
The Hundred Secret Senses going for RM24.
