Description
Amy Tan's The Joy Luck Club is a poignant tale of immigrant Chinese mothers and their American-born daughters. In 1949, four Chinese women, recent immigrants to San Francisco, meet weekly to play mahjong and share stories of their past. United in loss and new hope for their daughters' futures, they form the Joy Luck Club. Their daughters, who have never heard these stories, begin to realize the relevance of their mothers' advice when their own inner crises arise. As the mothers' stories unfold, the boundaries between past and present, tradition and modernity, become increasingly blurred. The result is a moving exploration of the complexities of cultural identity, family relationships, and the enduring power of love and loss. A powerful and moving novel, The Joy Luck Club is a story that will resonate with anyone who has ever sought to understand the experiences of others.
