This novel, told from the viewpoints of four Chinese mothers and their four American-Chinese daughters, examines the nature of the mother-daughter relationship, and the problems of cultural identity the characters face.
"The Joy Luck Club is an ambitious saga that's impossible to read without wanting to call your mum" Stylist "Pure enchantment" Mail on Sunday "Honest, moving and beautifully courageous" -- Alice Walker "In this deft and original debut, Amy Tan shows that she is both a consummate storyteller and writer whose prose manages to be emotionally charged without a trace of sentimentality" Sunday Times "A brilliant first novel... Tan writes from the heart, cutting sharp edges with wit, wisdom and a gentle and delicate precision... The novel covers a remarkable spectrum and reveals the private secrets and ghosts that haunt, torment - and comfort. Completely compelling" Time Out
