Visitors to Prince Edward Island, Canada, delight in the “unspoiled” scenery - the well-kept
farms and peaceful hamlets of the island’s central core and the rougher terrain of the east and
west. In reality, the Island ecosystems are almost entirely artificial.
Islanders have been tampering with the natural environment since the
eighteenth century and long ago broke down the Island’s natural forest cover to exploit its
timber and clear land for agriculture. By 1900, 80 percent of the forest had been cut down and
much of what remained had been destroyed by disease. Since then, however, some farmland
has been abandoned and has returned to forest through the invasion of opportunist species,
notably spruce. Few examples of the original climax forest, which consisted mostly of
broadleaved trees such as maple, birch, and oak, survive today.
Apart from a few stands of native forest, the only authentic habitats on Prince
Edward Island are its sand dunes and salt marshes. The dunes are formed from sand washed
ashore by waves and then dried and blown by the wind to the land beyond the beach. The
sand is prevented from spreading farther by marram grass, a tall, long-rooted species that
grows with the dunes and keeps them remarkably stable. Marram grass acts as a windbreak
and allows other plants such as beach pea and bayberry to take hold. On dunes where marram
grass is broken down - for instance, where it is trampled - the dunes may spread inland and
inundate agricultural lands or silt up fishing harbors. The white dunes of the north coast are
the most impressive. There are also white dunes on the east and west coasts. Only in the south
are there red dunes, created when the soft sandstone cliffs crumble into the sea and
subsequently wash ashore as red sand. The dunes were once used as cattle pasture but were
abandoned as the early settlers moved inland.
Salt marshes are the second remaining authentic habitat. These bogs are the
result of the flooding of low coastal areas during unusually high tides. In the intervals
between tides, a marsh area remains and plants take root, notably cord grass, the “marsh hay”
used by the early settlers as winter forage for their livestock. Like the dunes, though, the
marshes were soon dismissed as wasteland and escaped development.

Amy Tan, the American-born daughter of Chinese immigrants, received the Commonwealth
Club Gold Award in 1989 for her first work fiction, the best-selling Joy Luck Club. The
sixteen interrelated stories that constitute the work alternate betwwen the tales of four
Chinese immigrant mothers and their Americanized daughters, in an exploration of the
generational and cultural tensions experienced by many first-generation daughters of immigrants.
Tan’parents, like many immigrants, had high expectations for their children and often set
confusing standards, expecting Amy and her two brothers to think like Chinese but to speak
perfect English, excel academically, and take advantage of very circumstance that might lead
to success. Tan, however, rebelled against her parents’ expectations, which included such
exalted professions as neurosurgery, and devoted herself to being thoroughly American and
dreaming of being a fiction writer.
Tan obtained a bachelor’s degree in English and linguistics and a master’s degree in
linguistics and eventually established herself as highly successful business write. Tan,
however, was not satisfied despite her material success. Turning to her life long dream, she
wrote her first short story, “Endgame”, and then a second, “Waiting between the Trees.” In
1987 Tan visited her half-sisters in China with her mother, a trip that proved to be a turning
point in her life and career. Tan felt a sense of completeness, a bonding with the country and
its culture that she had never expected. Returning from China, Tan was surprised to learn that
on the strength of her short stories she had received an advance from the publisher. Tan
closed her business and wrote the remaining stories for the Joy Luck Club. It was a
resounding success, well received by the critics and appearing on the New York Times
bestseller list. It has been translated into seventeen languages, including Chinese, and was made into a movie in 1993.
