About this product

Product Information

"Brilliant....Each story is a fascinating vignette, and together they they weave the reader through a world where the Moon Lady can grant any wish, where a child, promised in marriage at two and delivered at 12, can, with cunning, free herself; where a rich man's concubine secures her daughter's future by killing herself, and where a woman can live on, knowing she has lost her entire life." WASHINGTON POST BOOK WORLD A stunning literary achievement, THE JOY LUCK CLUB explores the tender and tenacious bond between four daughters and their mothers. The daughters know one side of their mothers, but they don't know about their earlier never-spoken of lives in China. The mothers want love and obedience from their daughters, but they don't know the gifts that the daughters keep to themselves. Heartwarming and bittersweet, this is a novel for mother, daughters, and those that love them.

    Recommend

    Watched the movie many years ago and read the book a long time ago as well. I let a family member borrow it and they never gave it back. Some of the stories frustrated me, but that's just life right? Overall it's a good read.

    Sorrow of a soul torn between cultures

    This is a book about being between cultures: your parents' one, a strong, ancient, enigmatic, and a surrounding one, also strong, but young and simple-minded. It's written with pain of realization that what your parents have carried for so long, and tried to pass to you, their knowledge, their wisdom, their love - they ways they love you - is draining through the sand and is not recoverable on the personal level. It is painful to read it. The book is a lament. It offers no solutions, but suggest that having this sorrow inside, bearing it through one's life still makes it richer, deeper, and goves one some anchors others can't imagine.

    Paperback price has gone up. I guess that is because of popularity of the book.
