Saving Fish From Drowning

I love Amy Tan's style of writing. The flow's smooth. Reading her books is like reading our best friends' letter. So simple.

I've read many of the her books, among others, "The Joy Luck Club", "The Kitchen God's Wife", "The Bone Setter's Daughter", the style's almost similar. I found it's interesting.

This latest novel is a bit different, the setting is in Myanmar (formerly known as Burma) and the story's about 12 American tourists who join art expedition, started at Himalaya mountain, headed to Myanmar forest.

Suddenly the tourists' leader's found dead in a mysterious way. Their plans felt apart. But, still they moved on with some troubles here and there.

Finally, on Christmas, the tourists left their floating island resort and sailed away on a foggy lake to chase for sunrise and out of sudden, they disappeared, all of them. Gone with the wind.

They found themselves deep in the jungle, where they encountered a tribe awaiting the return of the leader and the mythical book of wisdom that would protect them from the ravages and destruction of the Myanmar military regime.

The story is engaging. I'm curious about the source of the story. Truth is always stranger than fiction which may account for this very bizarre tale. Great job. My favorite of Amy's books so far. Can't wait for the next.
