"A superbly executed, good-hearted farce that is part romance and part mystery . . . With Tan's many talents on display, it's her idiosyncratic wit and sly observations . . . that make this book pure pleasure."
-San Francisco Chronicle

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 travelers veer off her itinerary and embark on a trail paved with cultural gaffes and tribal curses, Buddhist illusions and romantic desires. On Christmas morning, the tourists cruise across a misty lake and disappear.

With picaresque characters and mesmerizing imagery, Saving Fish from Drowning gives us a voice as idiosyncratic, sharp, and affectionate as the mothers of The Joy Luck Club. Bibi is the observant eye of human nature-the witness of good intentions and bad outcomes, of desperate souls and those who wish to save them. In the end, Tan takes her readers to that place in their own heart where hope is found.

"Amy Tan is among our great storytellers."
-The New York Times Book Review

"Amy Tan has created an almost magical adventure that, page by page, becomes a metaphor for human relationships."
-Isabel Allende

"With humor, ruthlessness, and wild imagination, Tan has reaped a] fantastic tale of human longings and (of course) their consequences."
-Elle

"A book that's easy to read and hard to forget."
-Newsweek

Quick Delivery & Surprisingly Good Quality
Size: Large, Color: Light Gray, Size: Large, Color: Light Gray
I needed a suit on short notice and didn’t want to spend a fortune, so I took a chance on this gray suit—and I’m really glad I did. For the price, I wasn’t expecting much, but the quality is honestly impressive. The fabric feels solid and looks sharp, not cheap or shiny like other budget suits I’ve seen. Shipping was fast—I received it in just a couple of days, which was perfect for my tight timeline. The fit was nearly spot-on right out of the box. The jacket and pants fit well overall, though the sleeves were a bit long for my arms. If you need a reliable suit fast without spending a lot, this is a solid option. It exceeded my expectations for the cost and turnaround time.

men slim fit suit
Size: Small, Color: Red
I bought this suit for an 11 year old child for their sneaker ball at school. i order him a size small in men's (he wears a 32 in men pants) this suit fitted him well. the quality of the suit had actually exceeded my expectation. this suit was worth the money and the material. I would definitely order this suit for a young boy for a dance and you don't have to worry about spending a substantial amount of money. the material for the suit was good quality and I washed it in the washer machine.

True to size
Size: X-Small, Color: Black
This suit fits true to size and does not look cheap. I was in a hurry to find something and couldn’t be happier with what we received. My husband looked extremely handsome!

Great suit- worth the money
Size: XX-Large, Color: Purple, Size: XX-Large, Color: Purple
Great suit! It looked much more expensive than it was. My son got many compliments on it. (My only complaint is that the white pocket square is not removable but that’s minor).
