-San Francisco Chronicle 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 embark on a trail paved with cultural gaffes and tribal curses, Buddhist illusions and romantic desires. On Christmas morning, the tourists cruise across a misty lake and disappear. With picaresque characters and mesmerizing imagery, Saving Fish from Drowning gives us a voice as idiosyncratic, sharp, and affectionate as the mothers of The Joy Luck Club. Bibi is the observant eye of human nature-the witness of good intentions and bad outcomes, of desperate souls and those who wish to save them. In the end, Tan takes her readers to that place in their own heart where hope is found. "Amy Tan is among our great storytellers."
-The New York Times Book Review "Amy Tan has created an almost magical adventure that, page by page, becomes a metaphor for human relationships."
-Isabel Allende "With humor, ruthlessness, and wild imagination, Tan has reaped a] fantastic tale of human longings and (of course) their consequences."
-Elle "A book that's easy to read and hard to forget."

Generous storage & accessibility
Color: Black
This purse is very soft and plain with no embellishments. It is not shiny. It is just what I wanted because it did not detract from my gown. It is very practical and convenient because the clutch opens fully at the top so that everything stored inside can be easily seen rather than having to reach in the top and feel around inside a small clutch. It worked perfectly for me and could be useful even in non-formal situations. The magnetic closure is adequate. Storage is generous.

Great bag
Color: Silver
Perfect silver bag for weddings. The material is very soft and not cheap or fake looking.
The clutch fits more items than most evening bags. I can fit glasses, large phone, lipsticks , tissues.
Opens and closes well. The only small issue I have with it is although I like having the chain shoulder strap for hands-free the strap is a little too thick and heavy, and it kinks a little bit. A smaller thinner more delicate chain would be better, but otherwise, a very nice bag. I highly recommend
