More about the book
Four Chinese women, four America daughters. In 1949 a group of Chinese women, recent immigrants to San Francisco, meet weekly to play mahjong and tell stories of what they left behind in China. United in loss and new hope for their daughters' futures, they call themselves the Joy Luck Club. Their daughters, who have never heard these stories, think their mothers' advice is irrelevant to their modern American lives - until their own inner crises reveal how much they've inherited of their mothers' pasts. 'Pure enchantment' Mail on Sunday 'Honest, moving and beautifully courageous' Alice Walker 'An ambitious saga that's impossible to read without wanting to call your Mum' Stylist
