Exploring the womanist theme of spirituality in Amy Tan's novel, the book delves into five interconnected themes: ghosts, ghostwriting, nature, bones, and memory. It highlights the influence of Gu Liu Xin's spirit on her granddaughter Ruth's psychological integrity and LuLing's journey through hardship. The analysis emphasizes spirituality as vital for subjugated women to attain personal and political freedom. Aimed at students and scholars in women's studies and literature, it also appeals to general readers interested in gender issues and Asian American women's writing.
