The Joy Luck Club by Amy Tan

The Joy Luck ClubThe Joy Luck Club by Amy Tan

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


This book is about four Chinese women that have immigrated to America. The four women get together to share stories and to play mah jong. These women each have daughters and they share the complexities of raising children in America with Chinese family respect and morality. The daughters conversely have to fit into the American lifestyle and not offend their parents at home.

I enjoyed this story. It was well written and explained some of the struggles of immigrants fitting into the American culture.
