About this listen

Delve into the stories from Amy Tan's life that inspired best-selling novels like The Joy Luck Club and The Valley of Amazement.

Amy Tan has touched millions of people with haunting and sympathetic novels of cultural complexity and profound empathy. With the same spirit and humor that characterize her acclaimed novels, she now shares her insight into her own life and how she escaped the curses of her past to make a future of her own. She takes us on a journey from her childhood of tragedy and comedy to the present day and her arrival as one of the world's best-loved novelists. Whether recalling arguments with her mother in suburban California or introducing us to the ghosts that inhabit her computer, The Opposite of Fate offers vivid portraits of choices, attitudes, charms, and luck in action - a refreshing antidote to the world-weariness and uncertainties we all face today.

Brilliantly entertaining!

Amy Tan kept me entertained - fabulous storyteller, also presenting people (characters?) as multi-dimensional, quirky, both unsavoury & or sympathetic. Her stories of amazing coincidences, symmetries or fate enthralled me. Tan’s writing is brilliant as well. Sorry this book ended!
