Tan is an astute storyteller, enticing readers to immerse themselves into these lives of complexity and mystery.
Mothers boast or despair over daughters, and daughters roll their eyes even as they feel the inextricable tightening of their matriarchal ties.
As each woman reveals her secrets, trying to unravel the truth about her life, the strings be more tangled, more entwined. With wit and sensitivity, Amy Tan examines the sometimes painful, often tender, and always deep connection between mothers and daughters. Forty years later the stories and history continue. Or to prolong what was already unbearable. To despair was to wish back for something already lost. Rather than sink into tragedy, they choose to gather to raise their spirits and money. United in shared unspeakable loss and hope, they call themselves the Joy Luck Club. In 1949 four Chinese women, recent immigrants to San Francisco, begin meeting to eat dim sum, play mahjong, and talk. Kevin Kwan, author of Crazy Rich Asians Amy Tans beloved, New York Times bestselling tale of mothers and daughters Four mothers, four daughters, four families whose histories shift with the four winds depending on whos saying the stories.
