From Publishers Weekly
Intensely poetic, startlingly imaginative and moving, thisremarkable book will speak to many women, mothers and growndaughters, about the persistent tensions and powerful bonds betweengenerations and cultures. The narrative voice moves among sevencharacters. Jing-mei"June" Woo recounts her first session in a SanFrancisco mah-jong club founded by her recently dead, spirituallyvital, mother. The three remaining club members and their daughtersalternate with stories of their lives, tales that are stunning,funny and heartbreaking. The mothers, all born in China, tell aboutgrueling hardship and misery, the tyranny of family pride and thefear of losing face. The daughters try to reconcile theirpersonalities, shaped by American standards, with seeminglyirrational maternal expectations."My mother and I never understoodeach other; we translated each other's meanings. I talked to her inEnglish, she answered back in Chinese," says one character. Acrippling generation gap is the result: the mothers, superstitious,full of dread, always fearing bad luck, raise their daughters withhope that their lives will be better, but they also mourn the lossof a heritage their daughters cannot comprehend. Deceptivelysimple, yet inherently dramatic, each chapter can stand alone; yetpersonalities unfold and details build to deepen the impact andmeaning of the whole. Thus, when infants abandoned in China in thefirst chapter turn up as adults in the last, their reunion with theone remaining family member is a poignant reminder of what ispossible and what is not. On the order of Maxine Hong Kingston'swork, but more accessible, its Oriental orientation an irresistiblemagnet, Tan's first novel is a major achievement. First serial toAtlantic, Ladies' Home Journal and San Francisco Focus; BOMC andQPBC featured alternates.

From Library Journal
What a wonderful book! The"joy luck club" is a mahjong/storytelling support group formed by four Chinese women in SanFrancisco in 1949. Years later, when member Suyuan Woo dies, herdaughter June (Jing-mei) is asked to take her place at the mah jongtable. With chapters alternating between the mothers and thedaughters of the group, we hear stories of the old times and thenew; as parents struggle to adjust to America, their Americanchildren must struggle with the confusion of having immigrantparents. Reminiscent of Maxine Hong Kingston's The Woman Warrior inits vivid depiction of Chinese-American women, this novel is fullof complicated, endearingly human characters and first-rate storytelling in the oral tradition. It should be a hit in any fictioncollection.

Review
"Powerful as myth." —The Washington Post Book World
"Beautifully written...a jewel of a book." —The New York TimesBook Review
"Powerful...full of magic...you won't be doing anything ofimportance until you have finished this book." —Los AngelesTimes
"Wonderful...a significant lesson in what storytelling has to dowith memory and inheritance." —San Francisco Chronicle
Four mothers, fourdaughters, four families whose histories shift with the four windsdepending on who's"saying" the stories. In 1949 four Chinesewomen, recent immigrants to San Francisco, begin meeting to eat dimsum, play mahjong, and talk. United in shared unspeakable loss andhope, they call themselves the Joy Luck Club. Rather than sink intotragedy, they choose to gather to raise their spirits and money."To despair was to wish back for something already lost. Or toprolong what was already unbearable." Forty years later the storiesand history continue.
With wit and sensitivity,Amy Tan examines the sometimes painful, often tender, and alwaysdeep connection between mothers and daughters. As each womanreveals her secrets, trying to unravel the truth about her life,the strings become more tangled, more entwined. Mothers boast ordespair over daughters, and daughters roll their eyes even as theyfeel the inextricable tightening of their matriarchal ties. Tan isan astute storyteller, enticing readers to immerse themselves intothese lives of complexity and mystery.

From the Publisher
The Joy Luck Club is the story of four Chinese women born andraised in China before 1949 and their four American-born daughters.This mother-daughter story achieves more than just a glimpse intoChinese culture and heritage. It is an outline of a number ofchallenges for women, including social rules, expectations,marriage, food dishes, clothing choices, and raising children. Itcontinues to sell in the education market for courses inliterature, writing, women's and cultural studies. I'd recommend itas a way to celebrate women as mothers and daughters as well assurvivors. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailableedition of this title.

The motherswant love and obedience from their daughters, but they don't knowthe gifts that the daughters keep to themselves. Heartwarming andbittersweet, this is a novel for mother, daughters, and those thatlove them. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailableedition of this title.
