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

Perfect Solution for Areas Without Electricity – Easy, Reliable, and Worth It
Size: 1 Camera, Size: 1 Camera
I have to admit, this camera brand has become my favorite. This is already my third device: I have a Ring doorbell, a wall-mounted camera, and now this battery-powered version, which turned out to be exactly what I needed for an area where I don't have access to electricity. I installed it in the hallway of my apartment, right outside the bathroom and bedroom entrances, where there are no outlets, and it has worked perfectly for monitoring that space. It gives me great peace of mind knowing that this area is covered without having to do any complicated installations. One of the things I like most about this brand is the image and audio quality. The image is clear both day and night, and the sound is crisp, which makes a huge difference in daily use. The installation was quick and easy, and the app is very user-friendly. Motion notifications arrive instantly, allowing me to stay informed at all times. It's been installed for about 15 days and the battery is around 53%, which means it will last about a month depending on usage and the amount of motion it detects. I'm also taking advantage of the 30-day free trial, and what I find excellent is that my current $9.99 plan covers all my devices at no extra cost.It also features two-way audio, integrates seamlessly with Alexa, and has performed well so far, even outdoors. The only thing I'd mention is that battery life is highly dependent on activity, so in busy areas it may require more frequent recharging.

Stop thinking about which 1, get these!
Size: 1 Camera
Should have got these along time ago. Procrastinating way too much. Great quality, wireless, long lasting battery thus far. Easy to install just about anywhere. Can be moved around. Great set I bought 2 of the covers front of the house and rear yard plus my doorbell. Security surveillance all around! Dont think twice you'll be more than satisfied and greatful.just probably upset you didnt get them sooner.

Best 100-Inch TV Experience I’ve ever had
Style: 2026 Model, Size: 100-Inch, Style: 2026 Model, Size: 100-Inch
Absolutely stunning picture and performance! I’ve been using the Toshiba 100" Z670 Series Mini-LED TV 9 hours+ every day, and it’s nothing short of amazing. The Mini-LED backlight combined with QLED delivers incredible contrast and vibrant colors — way better than conventional LED TVs. The native 144Hz panel makes motion incredibly smooth, whether I'm watching sports or playing fast-paced games on my PS5. And it’s super thin!! Game Mode Pro works flawlessly; I barely notice any input lag. The REGZA Engine Zri keeps everything snappy, and Dolby Vision IQ + HDR10+ make movies pop. Sound from Dolby Atmos is surprisingly immersive for built-in speakers. Setup was easy with Fire TV built-in, and Alexa is a nice bonus. For a 100-inch screen, the design is sleek and edge-to-edge. Definitely worth every penny if you want a premium home theater experience. Highly recommend!

Great picture quality and smooth performance
Style: 2026 Model, Size: 65-Inch, Style: 2026 Model, Size: 65-Inch
This Toshiba 65" Mini‑LED TV has been a great upgrade for my living room. The picture is bright and clear, and the colors look very natural. The 144Hz refresh rate makes movies and games feel smooth, and Dolby Vision IQ works well in different lighting. The built‑in Fire TV is easy to use, and the sound with Dolby Atmos is better than I expected. Overall, it’s a solid TV for everyday watching and gaming.
