A stunning literary achievement, The Joy Luck Club explores the tender and tenacious bond between four daughters and their mothers. The daughters know one side of their mothers, but they don't know about their earlier never-spoken of lives in China. The mothers want love and obedience from their daughters, but they don't know the gifts that the daughters keep to themselves. Heartwarming and bittersweet, this is a novel for mother, daughters, and those that love them.

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.
