Beloved and bestselling author Amy Tan brings us the evocative, exotic Saving
Fish from Drowing. 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 American
tourists veer off her itinerary and embark on a trail paved with cultural ga ffes
and tribal curses, Buddhist illusions and romantic desires. On Christmas morning,
the travelers cruise across a misty lake and disappear. The resulting journey,
colored with picaresque characters and haunting imagery, is a provocative and
mesmerizing tale about what is real and what is make believe—and the
profound answers one seeks when things seemingly fall apart.
