De vallei van verwonderingShanghai, 1912. De veertienjarige Violet Minturn wordt gedwongen om een 'maagdelijke courtisane' te worden, maar als half Chinese, half Amerikaanse ontpopt ze zich daarentegen tot een gewiekste zakenvrouw die handelt in verleiding en illusie.

Shanghai, 1912. De veertienjarige Violet Minturn wordt gedwongen om een 'maagdelijke courtisane' te worden, maar als half-Chinese, half-Amerikaanse ontpopt ze zich daarentegen tot een gewiekste zakenvrouw die handelt in verleiding en illusie. Ook Violets moeder Lucia worstelt met deze half-westerse, half-oosterse identiteit. Beide vrouwen weigeren zich neer te leggen bij de Chinese sociale verwachtingen en ideeën over het lot en volharden in hun streven om terug te krijgen wat hun ontnomen is: respect, een veilige toekomst, en bovenal liefde. Achter hun successen schuilt een verlangen naar geborgenheid en een strijd om te begrijpen wie ze werkelijk zijn. In een ontroerend verhaal, dat meer dan veertig jaar en twee continenten beslaat, leidt Amy Tan haar lezers terug naar het Shanghai van weleer. Met haar kenmerkende wijsheid, sierlijkheid en humor roept Tan een verhaal op over de persoonlijke zoektocht van Violet en haar moeder, over familiegeheimen, de nalatenschap van trauma's, en de diepe connectie tussen moeders en dochters. Vallei van verwondering is gebaseerd op Tans eigen familiegeschiedenis. Amy Tan is de auteur van De vreugde- en gelukclub, De vrouw van de keukengod, De honderd geheime zintuigen, De dochter van de heelmeester, Vissen op het droge helpen en haar autobiografische familiegeschiedenis De keerzijde van het lot. Haar werk is vertaald in meer dan dertig talen. Ze woont in New York en San Francisco. Over De dochter van de heelmeester: 'Tan heeft een ongekend talent. Ze is in staat the best of both worlds, de westerse ironie en de oosterse verbeeldingskracht, te combineren, en daarbij haar verhalen te laten zinderen van spanning.' nrc handelsblad Over De honderd geheime zintuigen: 'Toegankelijk taalgebruik en een verteltrant die meer vaart heeft dan de Oriënt Express.' algemeen dagblad 'Een schitterend epos.' elsevier Over De vrouw van de keukengod: 'Met De vrouw van de keukengod overtreft Amy Tan haar briljante debuutroman.' haagsche courant

For small dog
Color: brown4, Color: brown4
It's cute for the price, but it's meant for small dogs, it's very easy for medium-sized dogs to destroy.

Small Pug Enjoyment For All!
Color: brown1, Color: brown1
We got this toy to replace an earlier purchase for a rope/squeak toy after finding he loved a holiday purchase by an Aunt which squeaked but was not really meant for tugging/heavy playing like he wanted too, for our half pug/schnauzer Mr. Pug. Compared to the first toy and the attempted replacement he ADORES this toy! As you can see in the above picture he has truly laid his claim to it! About the product in general though, we found it surprisingly sturdy all around, even with heavy tugging and aggressive play. The interior padding is durable it seems, and holes where the rope come out have a heavy duty padding for the target dog audience like ours in preventing him from chewing or tearing it up. The crinkly ears were also an enjoyable surprise for him, and the squeaker can move around the torso area of the toy keeping him actively looking for it when he desires it. All in all we would certainly get another toy like this in the future.

Great wrestle or chewing toy for your pet.
Color: brown1
My 4 legged "little boy" loves to play, even at 10 years old but is getting a tad "over the hill" for chasing a ball. This toy has brought him (and me) many hours of fun as it can be played with in the house without chance breaking something (it is soft) and was fairly well thought out - being made with the "squeeker" in one end, and a couple of ropes sewn in to provide a "tug of war" when he is really feeling frisky. I've had it around 6 months and it has only incurred minor damage and really just normal wear and tear considering what it has gone thru. A great toy for the price that your pet may play with by itself, or one you can use to wrestle with it so you can be part of the action. When this one is finally torn apart, I will be buying another one (if the dog out lasts it), or I will bury my pet with this one if it out lasts him. It's that special.
