The Book Club book
The Joy Luck Club is Amy Tan’s moving story 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 tell stories of what they left behind in China. With new hope for their daughters' futures, they call themselves the Joy Luck Club. Will their daughters with their modern American lives listen to their advice? "Honest, moving and beautifully courageous - Alice Walker
Geoff says:
"This book shines a light on the experience of immigrants and second generations in America. The book is a powerful representation of the dreams of many for better lives and for making your way in a society which sees you as an outsider. We read an adapted version of the novel, which is shorter and easier to read. If you wish you could read the original text - note that it is much longer and with much more complicated vocabulary and structures."
