《接骨师的女儿》是华裔作家谭恩美的第四部小说,此作品延续了谭恩美最擅长的母女关系这一主题。在作品中,谭恩美利用自己熟知的中国传统文化背景叙述母女的故事。在东方文化与西方文化从冲突到融合这一过程中,中国的道家思想或明或暗地贯穿故事的首尾。 “The Bonesetter’s Daughter” is the fourth novel written by Chinese writer Amy Tan, which continues the theme of Amy Tan’s best mother-daughter relationship. In her works, Tan Enmei uses her own well-known Chinese traditional culture to narrate her mother’s story. In the process of the conflict and integration of oriental culture and western culture, the Taoist thought of China spearheadedly or implicitly through the story.
