Acerca de esta escucha
A naughty white kitten, Sagwa, comes from a long line of royal Chinese cats. Her mischief changes the spirit of a cruel magistrate and helps shape the future for her ancestors. This beautiful story illustrates why Siamese cats are really Chinese cats and why their faces, ears, paws, and tails turn darker as they grow up
Read by the author, Amy Tan's light, airy voice enchants listeners of all ages with this charming bedtime story.

Historia
Amy Tan takes us deep into the illicit world of 1912 Shanghai, where beautiful courtesans mercilessly compete for the patronage of wealthy gentlemen. For the women, the contest is deadly serious, a perilous game of economic survival that, if played well, can set them up for life as mistresses of the rich and prominent. There is no room for error, however: Erotic power is hard to achieve and harder to maintain, especially in the loftiest social circles. Enter veteran seducer, Magic Gourd, formerly one of Shanghai’s “Top Ten Beauties” and now the advisor and attendant of Violet, an aspiring but inexperienced courtesan.

Historia
Moving from her childhood in Oakland and growing up with her Chinese parents through her success as a novelist, Amy Tan delves into her creative interests in music, the paralysis of beginning a new project, journal writing, and travelling. Where the Past Begins chronicles the making of a writer. With characteristic humor and poignant observation, Tan weaves a nontraditional introspective narrative that is as complex and vibrant as this beloved American novelist's fiction.

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
It was only 19 minutes. I can't believe that I didn't notice that. So I spent 1 credit for a 19 minute audio book when I normally listen to books that are almost 19 hours long. Love Amy Tan and loved this story. I just wish that I would have noticed it was 19 minutes long. Bummer.What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
I thought it was cute.Any additional comments?
Very nice children's book.Only 19 minutes
