Amy Tan (1952) is an American writer of Chinese descent whose works explore mother-daughter relationships. She uses voices from her upper-class mother�s and grand-mother�s histories and myths to explore the voices of mothers and daughters of Chinese ancestry. The character Jing-mei �June� Woo, Tan�s alter ego, provides the framing narrative for the whole book and plays a significant role in connecting all the stories. Her compelling storytelling examines various elements such as the complicated issues of identity, the immigrant experience, family, love and career. The chapters allow each character to tell her story in the first person, except for Suyuan (Jing-mei �June� Woo�s mother) whose story is told in the third person, Jing-mei�s voice.
