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. With wit and sensitivity, Amy Tan examines the sometimes painful, often tender, and always deep connection between these four women and their American-born daughters. As each woman reveals her secrets, trying to unravel the truth about her life, the strings become more tangled, more entwined.

I don’t know if it’s because I listened to the audiobook, but I think I may have lost some points of the narrative hahaha. Because of that I really would like to reread it in ebook or fisical edition. Anyway, I liked the stories and enjoyed to know these descriptions about chinese culture and how the children in the book were raised in a matter of behavior and expectations. It was absolutely well written, I could feel the anxiety and a variety of emotions towards the complicated mother-daughter relationships. I particularly liked Suyuan Woo’s and Waverly Jong’s stories the most and the end was really thrilling.
