The Joy Luck Club was one of my all time favorite novels. You should check out the novel Mama by Terry McMillan. Another oldie but goodie and a little edgy but humorous and moving. And the author has a very captivating voice, as does Amy Tan.

I did notice your last name and wondered as well, Mesa! You should check out her novel MONSTROUS BEAUTY--I love all her books, but that one is my fave.

Thank you for reading THE HUNDRED LOVES OF JULIET and your very very kind words!!

I will for sure check out her work! I told my husband about her and asked if he had a cousin that he didn't know :)

Her daughter, Sally Fama Cochrane, is a talented painter, and she sketched Juliet's balcony for me! That drawing will be in my next book, ONE YEAR AGO IN SPAIN. (It's an easter egg for readers like you who have already read THE HUNDRED LOVES OF JULIET)!
