Green Brook Country Club's Book Review ~ The Valley of Amazement

Presented by New York Times Bestselling Author Amy Tan

Sumptuous Luncheon 12:30 pm – Author Presentation – Meet & Greet Author - Questions & Answer Period – Personalized Book Signing – Valet Parking

Amy Tan’s The Valley of Amazement is a sweeping, evocative epic of two women’s intertwined fates and their search for identity that moves from the lavish parlors of Shanghai courtesans to the fog-shrouded mountains of a remote Chinese village.

 Spanning more than forty years and two continents, The Valley of Amazement resurrects pivotal episodes in history: from the collapse of China’s last imperial dynasty, to the rise of the Republic, the explosive growth of lucrative foreign trade and anti-foreign sentiment, to the inner workings of courtesan houses and the lives of the foreign “Shanghailanders” living in the International Settlement, both erased by World War II.

 ~ Amy Tan’s books will be available to purchase and have signed at this Book Review Event ~

Reservations are limited and will be accepted on a first come, first served basis.
