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. Ook Violets moeder Lucia worstelt met deze half westerse, half oosterse identiteit.

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

Exactly what I needed for my bathroom refresh.
Color: B. Rustic Brown - Americana Farmhouse Style, Number Of Shelves: 2, Size: 22.5inches, Color: B. Rustic Brown - Americana Farmhouse Style, Number Of Shelves: 2, Size: 22.5inches
I bought these floating shelves in the color Rustic Brown to replace a bulky storage shelf that was making my bathroom feel cramped, and they completely transformed the space. The wood finish looks much more expensive than I expected, and once installed they gave the bathroom a clean, modern, spa-like feel without taking up visual space. Installation was straightforward overall. I mounted one screw in the center into a stud and used drywall anchors for the remaining hardware, and the shelves feel very sturdy. They sit flush against the wall and don’t sag or wobble. I especially love how slim they are while still being deep enough to hold everyday bathroom items, decor, candles, skincare, and small baskets. The color worked perfectly with my bathroom vanity and mirror trim, and the floating design instantly made the room look more organized and intentional. Huge upgrade for a small space. Definitely recommend if you want functional storage that also looks elevated and minimalist.

Good Shelves
Color: B. Rustic Brown - Americana Farmhouse Style, Number Of Shelves: 3, Size: 22.5inches
These shelves are really nice quality and look as advertised. The hardware included was great quality, metal drywall anchors and good screws. They were easy to install, and make even/level with each other. My only gripe is the price, but I'm very satisfied with the product overall.

Attractive, easy to install, nicely equipped hardware package.
Color: B. Rustic Brown - Americana Farmhouse Style, Number Of Shelves: 2, Size: 22.5inches
These are pretty doggone nice shelves and I appreciate the fact that they are not made of solid particle board. Yes they are made of an engineered product, but they are lightweight and strong…and look better than particle board products and more costly than their actual price. Easy installation system with the bracket…not fussy like some are. An especially thoughtful touch is the variety of hardware that is included. Also a tiny level for use when installing them. What? …So they can be installed correctly? I was pleasantly surprised by this inclusion.
