Shanghai, 1912. De veertienjarige Violet Minturn wordt gedwongen om een 'maagdelijke courtisane' te worden, maar als half-Chinese, half-Amerikaanse ontpopt ze zich daarentegen tot een gewiekste zakenvrouw die handelt in verleiding en illusie. Ook Violets moeder Lucia worstelt met deze half-westerse, half-oosterse identiteit. Beide vrouwen weigeren zich neer te leggen bij de Chinese sociale verwachtingen en ideeën over het lot en volharden in hun streven om terug te krijgen wat hun ontnomen is: respect, een veilige toekomst, en bovenal liefde. Achter hun successen schuilt een verlangen naar geborgenheid en een strijd om te begrijpen wie ze werkelijk zijn. In een ontroerend verhaal, dat meer dan veertig jaar en twee continenten beslaat, leidt Amy Tan haar lezers terug naar het Shanghai van weleer. Met haar kenmerkende wijsheid, sierlijkheid en humor roept Tan een verhaal op over de persoonlijke zoektocht van Violet en haar moeder, over familiegeheimen, de nalatenschap van trauma's, en de diepe connectie tussen moeders en dochters. Vallei van verwondering is gebaseerd op Tans eigen familiegeschiedenis. Amy Tan is de auteur van De vreugde- en gelukclub, De vrouw van de keukengod, De honderd geheime zintuigen, De dochter van de heelmeester, Vissen op het droge helpen en haar autobiografische familiegeschiedenis De keerzijde van het lot. Haar werk is vertaald in meer dan dertig talen. Ze woont in New York en San Francisco. Over De dochter van de heelmeester: 'Tan heeft een ongekend talent. Ze is in staat the best of both worlds, de westerse ironie en de oosterse verbeeldingskracht, te combineren, en daarbij haar verhalen te laten zinderen van spanning.' nrc handelsblad Over De honderd geheime zintuigen: 'Toegankelijk taalgebruik en een verteltrant die meer vaart heeft dan de Oriënt Express.' algemeen dagblad 'Een schitterend epos.' elsevier Over De vrouw van de keukengod: 'Met De vrouw van de keukengod overtreft Amy Tan haar briljante debuutroman.' haagsche courant

All Gotchas, Gimmicks, and Grief
My husband broke the item in question, which was a Chemex coffee maker made of nothing but glass. It shattered full of coffee, so like a normal human he cleaned up the dangerous mess and threw it away. I put in a claim, and it said that I had to ship back the product. Believing that the Asurion process was as simple as stated, and reading the agreement that does mention that sometimes they'll require shipment of the item, but that they will review cases and use reasonable judgment, I contacted their chat, explaining that the requirement that I mail them a wet pile of shards of glass soaked in coffee (and a little bit of blood) was unsafe and unreasonable. I don't even know how I could do that in a way that would be safe for the people opening the packaging, or even to take it to the store. The shards of glass might puncture any plastic, and the wetness would soak through, plus there's the biohazard issue. Seems silly for a $47 product replacement to me. I figured any human would understand. First chat associate closed my case without even responding to me. I had to reopen it. The second one told me, "Yes, that is how your warranty works" as an answer to my "Hello, the last chat closed without me talking to anyone." I tried to explain the situation, and was told "If you call the hotline, maybe they'll help you." I call the hotline. The first person tells me tough, I have to mail it. I say it was thrown away. He says "AHA then it's lost! Your warranty doesn't cover lost things!" I say no, it's not lost, it was disposed of properly as shards of glass should be. I finally ask can I speak to someone else or a supervisor. He lies and says yes. I sit on hold for 20 minutes, never any wait time or any sort of indicator of when someone will talk to me. The phone call quality finally gets very horribly staticky, so I hang up and try again. Hallelujah, I get a decent human being who immediately says, "Oh, no, that's not reasonable! That is an unsafe thing to have to mail. I'll send it to the override department who should approve this because it's obvious that's not a normal thing to expect." Today I get an email that says: We can't approve your claim. We reviewed your NO SUPPORTING MANUFACTURER COFFEE MAKER claim. The product in your claim is not covered by your plan. As a result, we're unable to approve your claim. Nothing about the requirement to mail a biohazard, just the item isn't covered even though the item is absolutely covered. While I understand that loss prevention is important, this is a very small potatoes return and it isn't like I made this up. It would be easy to make me happy. I'm sure it has cost them more money to deny it than they would have lost covering the Chemex. I've bought multiple of their product replacement policies before. I never will again. They didn't offer for me to send a picture or anything. They just wasted hours of my time and sent a clearly AI-based answer, rather than treating me like a valuable customer.

Quick and easy claim process.
I had problems with my Sous Vide and the manufacturer warranty expired 1 year ago. I made a claim with Asurion and they immediately sent me a return label. I returned the old Sous Vide and I was sent an amazon gift card to purchase a new Sous Vide within a couple of days.
