Overview
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Backyard Bird Chronicles and The Joy Luck Club comes "a rollicking, adventure-filled story . . . packed [with] the human capacity for love" (USA Today).
"Amy Tan has created an almost magical adventure that, page by page, becomes a metaphor for human relationships."--Isabel Allende
A SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR
San Francisco art patron Bibi Chen has planned a journey of the senses along the famed Burma Road for eleven lucky friends. But after her mysterious death, Bibi watches aghast from her ghostly perch as the travelers veer off her itinerary and get bogged down by cultural gaffes, tribal curses, and romantic desires. On Christmas morning, the tourists cruise across a misty lake and disappear.
With a façade of Buddhist illusions, magician's tricks, and light comedy, even as the absurd and picaresque spiral into a gripping morality tale, Saving Fish from Drowning deftly explores the consequences of intentions--both good and bad--and the shared responsibility that individuals must accept for the actions of others.
