Abstract
In this article, the writer looks at the book "The Kitchen God's Wife" by Amy Tan. The writer points out that "The Kitchen Gods Wife" concerns a Chinese mother and American-raised daughter whom, like many mothers and daughters across the world, have kept secrets from each other. The writer discusses that as soon as the book opens up, Tan approaches the communication problem between Winnie and Pearl. The writer notes that Pearl, who appears to want to forget her Chinese roots, has had multiple sclerosis for seven years and has not yet told her mother. The writer notes that, similar to other mother/daughter pairs, once Pearl and Winnie do communicate, they are so much the better for it.
From the Paper
"No one has a childhood without some kind of trauma, and each person handles it differently. Some people do not remember being abused as a child, and in their adult years wonder why they are depressed and have such low self-esteem. With help, they are able to get better as they deal with the past. Other people never face their past, and drown themselves in alcohol, or abuse their own children. Pearl has not yet dealt with her trauma--her father dying. For years, she has been holding in her sadness and anger at his leaving her. Much of this anger is directed to her mother. Why didn't her mother do something to keep him alive? An irrational thought, but children do believe that their parents have the ability to make things right. Pearl's nightmares about her father continue, because part of her refuses to say goodbye once and for all. Also, like the Kitchen God story, she has to admit she was wrong."

Abstract
This paper summarizes and analyzes the story and main theme of Amy Tan's novel, "The Kitchen God's Wife". The paper explains that while the focus in the novel is on the mothers and daughters in the Chinese-American culture, its themes, and specifically its theme that food is used as a device to convey multiple messages, are universal.
From the Paper
"Amy Tan creates in the novel the same sense of place and culture that characterized The Joy Luck Club. Once again, food serves many purposes. Among the most ubiquitous motifs in The Kitchen God's Wife is food and the activities that surround its preparation and consumption. In fact, the novel opens and closes with celebratory dinners, and similar feasts and meals mark crucial events in Winnie's story. Throughout the story food provides a sense of continuity, paints distinct images of a remembered past, helps reveal character traits, shows relationships, and establishes boundaries between cultures."

Abstract
This book review examines the nature of mother-daughter relationships and the Chinese immigrant experience as reflected in Any Tan's novel "The Kitchen God's Wife." The review discusses the common themes in Tan's novels, such as cultural conflict often seen between the generations. These themes are further analyzed in terms of the characters' personalities and experiences. The reviewer also considers some of the literary devices that the author used to illustrate these conflicts. The paper also cites various literary critics' opinions of the novel.
From the Paper
"With these two elements in mind, this paper provides a discussion and analysis of the "immigrant experiences" of Weili and Pearl. While Pearl is already considered an assimilated member of the American culture, her identity as Chinese-American persists, making this 'immigrant experience' not only applicable to her mother, but to her as well. This paper posits that the immigrant experience is best demonstrated through two recurrent themes in the novel: cultural conflict and the persistence of reality over 'made-up' history, or fictional personal history."

Abstract
In this article, the writer relates that Amy Tan's "The Kitchen God's Wife" is the moving tale of a daughter finding the roots of her own undiscovered heritage, in a winding juxtaposition between cultural tradition and modern assimilation. The writer notes that the work reaffirms Tan's tradition of building narrative through cultural expressions of change and strong character development, among the young and the old. The writer points out that the family Tan describes could be any Chinese immigrant family, or at least that is the feeling the reader gets from the narrative. The writer concludes that the lives of these women may seem sensational when taken out of context, but woven into this narrative they are at once sensational and very real.
From the Paper
"There is little more compelling than the reconnection of people who share a past, but who see a very different future because of the difficulty the generations have in communicating the past to the present generations and more importantly the difficulty the present generation has in hearing the messages of such a foreign expression of life."
"The older generations in Tan's works frequently and realistically were forced to make life altering decisions that only years of safety in America can buffer enough to allow to come out. Including unhappy and often violent marriages, unknown and often long dead children and family relationships altered in traditions to make possible the immigration to America."

Abstract
In this article the writer notes that the main protagonists in 'The Kitchen God's Wife' by Amy Tan spend several decades fighting each other because of their differences that come from having completely different pasts. The writer explains that Winnie, the mother, was born and brought up in China and her daughter Pearl, lived all of her life in the United States. The writer then points out that when they finally begin to listen to each other, they realize that despite their different upbringing, they share more than they ever realized as women and mother and daughter. The writer concludes that with changing circumstances, the two are eventually able to begin to open up and peel away the layers that keep them apart.
From the Paper
"Even if these two women were more open, their differences would have created barriers between them. Pearl, due to the death of her father when she was a teenager, has not completely grown up emotionally--despite the fact that she now is a wife and mother, herself. Her trauma has kept part of her from reaching maturity and being more patient and understanding of her mother. As children often do, she has a difficult time tolerating some of Winnie's personality traits and human quirks. Phil, Pearl's husband, who gets along well with his mother-in-law, tries to enhance the communication between the two women. He tells Pearl that she is being selfish and life is not always exactly as you want it. He is no more successful in bringing the mother and daughter together. In fact, in some ways he worsens the situation by making Pearl more resistant to change. Meanwhile, Winnie's experiences in the past have made her more negative and less patient overall with life. Whereas once she was a hopeful and happy young woman, she has turned into a much more fearful, superstitious and cautious individual."

From the Paper
"The purpose of this research is to examine the relationship between the figure of the kitchen god and the narrative as a whole in The Kitchen God's Wife (KG) by Amy Tan. The plan of the research will be to set forth the narrative context in which the kitchen god is explained in the novel, and then to discuss the role that the figure plays in elaborating the novel's underlying pattern of ideas and the means by which those ideas emerge.
The symbolic function of the kitchen god is established early in KG. The god is referred to in a more or less offhand manner by Winnie as "only a story," and then as the patron of luck. He is chiefly associated with living spaces--homes or shops--but his influence appears to permeate Chinese culture. As Winnie puts it, quoting the Jade Emperor of heaven upon providing the kitchen god with his divine mandate in the universe: "I make ..."
