I've got to say how disappointed I was in our December book, The Love Wife, by Gish Jen. I had such high hopes for reading a book about merging cultures (namely Chinese and Amercian) because I am of that amalgam. The characters, the writing style, Gish Jen in general, were short of the mark. It read like an Amy Tan wannabe and that description is an insult to the highly revered Tan.
OK, just had to get that off my chest!
