About this product

Product Information

In her first book of nonfiction, bestselling novelist Amy Tan shares her personal philosophy of fate. Amy Tan was born into a family that believed in fate. In The Opposite of Fate: A Book of Musings, she explores this legacy, as well as American circumstances, and finds ways to honor the past while creating her own brand of destiny. She discovers answers in everyday actions and attitudes-from writing stories, decorating her house with charms, learning to ski, and living with squirrels, to dealing with three members of her family afflicted with brain disease, surviving natural disasters, and shaking off both family curses and the expectations that she should become a doctor and a concert pianist. With the same spirit, humor, and magic that characterize her beloved novels, Amy Tan presents a refreshing antidote to the world-weariness and uncertainties we face today, contemplating how things happen-in her own life and beyond-but always returning to the question of fate and its opposites: the choices, charms, influences, attitudes, and lucky accidents that shape us all.

  • Amy Tan

    Amy Tan has written a remarkable book which reveals her innermost thoughts on a variety of topics. She is insightful, observant, and has a driving sense of honesty about her that shines through in her writings in THE OPPOSITE OF FATE. This book is well-written, refreshingly candid in what it has to say about many things, an intimate expression by a gifted writer, and a memorable reading experience. Amy Tan's fine book is full of life and keen observations and one not to be missed! An enjoyable reading experience! ---- Lee Prosser, author of MISSOURI HAUNTINGS, and the memoir ISHERWOOD, BOWLES, VEDANTA, WICCA, AND ME.

  • probably good but not what i meant to buy

    It is a book! I must have read the listing wrong. I used books on CDs to read on my commute in the car. I will try to think of someone to gift the book to..
