From college she moves on to her beautiful new home and her new husband, not to mention the business that the two start together, and yet her attitude does not change. Once she gets into college, Olivia meets a guy and asks her older sister to help him move on from his dead ex-girlfriend so that he can fall in love with her. Olivia grows up never changing her thoughts towards Kwan.
Kids picked on Kwan and instead of defending her or getting upset that her sister is being bullied, Olivia gets mad that Kwan is so stupid. Right from the start Olivia doesn’t like her. Kwan ends up being this short, roundish, chinese girl with rosey cheeks and long black hair. Olivia thinks that Kwan is going to be this tall, skinny, beautiful, amazing, older sister, but is disappointed when she sees her at the airport.
The books starts off with Olivia describing her life as a child and how when her older sister, who she knew nothing about, comes to live with her and her family after her father dies. I love science fiction and mystery books, but Amy Tan’s The Hundred Secret Senses, contains both of those categories. The first chapter captured me right away, but not the way books normally do. When I first chose this book I expected it to be kind of boring a women talking about her sisters.
