#ThrowbackThursday. The Joy Luck Club

 

Tan, Amy "The Joy Luck Club" - 1989

Four Chinese daughters growing up in New York. Four Chinese mothers playing Mah Jong. Eight different women with eight different stories, views, lives. The daughters tyring to understand the past, the mothers tyring to understand the American life their daughters lead.

We discussed this in our international book club in March 2002.

Read my original review here.

  1. I remember my aunt's copy of this when I was young. Perhaps I should give it a read.

    1. I think you should, Sarah. I know you prefer non-fiction but this is similar, in a way.
