Amy Tan’s beloved, New York Times bestselling tale of mothers and daughters. Nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s The Great American Read. Four mothers, four daughters, four families whose histories shift with the four winds depending on who's "saying" the stories. In 1949 four Chinese women, recent immigrants to San Francisco, begin meeting to eat dim sum, play mahjong, and talk. United in shared unspeakable loss and hope, they call themselves the Joy Luck Club. Rather than sink into tragedy, they choose to gather to raise their spirits and money. "To despair was to wish back for something already lost. Or to prolong what was already unbearable." Forty years later the stories and history continue. With wit and sensitivity, Amy Tan examines the sometimes painful, often tender, and always deep connection between mothers and daughters. As each woman reveals her secrets, trying to unravel the truth about her life, the strings become more tangled, more entwined. Mothers boast or despair over daughters, and daughters roll their eyes even as they feel the inextricable tightening of their matriarchal ties. Tan is an astute storyteller, enticing readers to immerse themselves into these lives of complexity and mystery.
Amy Tan is the author of The Joy Luck Club, The Kitchen God’s Wife, The Hundred Secret Senses, The Bonesetter's Daughter, The Opposite of Fate, Saving Fish from Drowning, and two children’s books, The Moon Lady and The Chinese Siamese Cat, which has been adapted as Sagwa, a PBS series for children.

so far今年阅读最佳🌟 妈妈希望女儿像自己，又不希望女儿重复自己的错误；女儿希望自己不像妈妈，又逐渐被印刻妈妈的痕迹。这本书描写的中国女性故事，一个个有鲜明深刻的内核，然而笔触却温柔细腻；中美文化的碰撞，传统思想的影响，人性的复杂，家庭的生态，浑然一体存在在一个个故事里。amy tan是一个天生的作家。

Mothers and daughters and families losing and finding each other across cultural boundaries. There's enough material to write 1000 books:

Amy Tan是个很好的Narrator，可是她不懂中国。书里充满了词不达意的中文短语，牵强附会的中国智慧。

杰作。原文用词朴实精准（译本反而翻得太繁冗，让人看得不畅快），结构精巧，特别擅长比喻和处处call back这个比喻。这么早的作品感觉写完了华裔移一代母女关系，基本就是范式，近年类似主题的影视作品和肯刘那破玩意手中纸心中爱简直就是垃圾复述。最神的是全文最阅读障碍的威妥玛拼音居然是结构的一部分。
