"Powerful as myth." -- The Washington Post Book World "Beautifully written...a jewel of a book." -- The New York Times Book Review "Powerful...full of magic...you won't be doing anything of importance until you have finished this book." -- Los Angeles Times "Wonderful...a significant lesson in what storytelling has to do with memory and inheritance." -- San Francisco Chronicle, "You see the lives of these women, and you think about all the women who came before you. . . . It's among the canon of Asian American stories that are feminist and that are true to our being." --Margaret Cho "Brilliant . . . Powerful as myth." -- The Washington Post Book World "In the hands of Amy Tan, who has a wonderful eye for what is telling, a fine ear for dialogue, a deep empathy for her subject matter and a guilelessly straightforward way of writing, [the themes and characters] sing with a rare fidelity and beauty. She has written a jewel of a book." -- The New York Times "What it is to be American, and a woman, mother, daughter, lover, wife, sister, and friend--these are the troubling, loving alliances and affiliations that Tan molds into the sixteen intricate interlocking stories that constitute this remarkable first novel." -- San Francisco Chronicle "Amazing . . . The Joy Luck Club is dazzling because of the worlds it gives us. . . . The only negative thing I could ever say about this book is that I'll never again be able to read it for the first time." -- Los Angeles Times "Tracing the poignant destinies of two generations of tough, intelligent women, each gorgeously written page welcomes the reader and leads to an enlightenment that, like all true wisdom, sometimes brings pleasure and sometimes sadness. . . . To tell this complex story, Amy Tan, a writer of dazzling talent, has created an intricate tapestry of a book--one tale woven into the other, a panorama of distinctive voices that call out to each other over time." -- Chicago Tribune "Honest, moving, and beautifully courageous. Amy Tan shows us China, Chinese-American women and their families, and the mystery of the mother-daughter bond in ways that we have not experienced before." --Alice Walker "Impressive . . . Describes the morass of fierce love and misunderstanding which lies between the two generations." -- The New Yorker "There aren't many books you finish and immediately want to re-read, but this is one of them. The Joy Luck Club is like a Chinese puzzle box--intricate, mysterious, and connected in a way that only seems simple. . . . Almost mythic in structure, like the hypnotic tales of the legendary Scheherazade, this fiction is also concrete. . . . There are many more stories, each detail more haunting and unforgettable than the one before, each reflecting on someone else's story." -- Cosmopolitan "Subtle and delicate . . . An intimate glimpse into a way of life and a culture seldom explored by Western literature . . . The stories read well individually, but together, with characters and circumstances so skillfully interwoven, the whole truly becomes greater than the sum of its parts." -- The San Diego Union-Tribune " The Joy Luck Club will delight readers of any generation or background with its carefully wrought stories of the physical and literal oceans, geographical, cultural, generational, that both divide and unite us." -- The Pittsburgh Press "Powerful and accomplished . . . Rich in the bittersweet ambiguities of real life." -- Newsday, "Powerful as myth." -- The Washington Post Book World "Beautifully written...a jewel of a book." -- The New York Times Book Review "Powerful...full of magic...you won't be doing anything of importance until you have finished this book." -- Los Angeles Times "Wonderful...a significant lesson in what storytelling has to do with memory and inheritance." -- San Francisco Chronicle "Reading it really changed the way I thought about Asian-American history. Our heritage has a lot of difficult stuff in it -- a lot of misogyny, a lot of fear and rage and death. It showed me a past that reached beyond borders and languages and cultures to bring together these disparate elements of who we are. I hadn't seen our history like that before. At that time, we hadn't seen a lot of Asian-American representations anywhere, so it was a big deal that it even existed. It made me feel validated and seen. That's what's so important about books like that. You feel like, Oh my god, I exist here. I exist in this landscape of literature and memoir. I'm here, and I have a story to tell, and it's among the canon of Asian-American stories that are feminist and that are true to our being. It's a book that has stayed with me and lived in me." --Margaret Cho, "Powerful as myth." -- The Washington Post Book World "Beautifully written...a jewel of a book." -- The New York Times Book Review "Powerful...full of magic...you won't be doing anything of importance until you have finished this book." -- Los Angeles Times "Wonderful...a significant lesson in what storytelling has to do with memory and inheritance." -- San Francisco Chronicle "Reading it really changed the way I thought about Asian-American history.

Synopsis
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * Amy Tan's modern classic that examines the sometimes painful, often tender, and always deep connection between mothers and daughters "For me, [ The Joy Luck Club ] was one of those once-in-a-lifetime reading experiences that you cherish forever. It inspired me as a writer and still remains hugely inspirational."--Kevin Kwan, author of Crazy Rich Asians "Brilliant."-- The Washington Post Book World "A jewel of a book."-- The New York Times Book Review "Amy Tan [is] a writer of dazzling talent."-- Chicago Tribune In 1949, four Chinese women, recent immigrants to San Francisco, begin meeting to play mah jong, remember the past, and gossip into the night. United in unspeakable loss and new hope, they call themselves the Joy Luck Club. With wit and sensitivity, Amy Tan examines the memories that display these women's strength, worries, and determination. As each woman reveals her secrets, trying to unravel the truth about her life, the strings become more tangled, more entwined. Mothers boast or despair over daughters, and daughters roll their eyes even as they feel the inextricable tightening of the matriarchal ties that they believe have stymied their ability to face the uncertainties of the future. Intimate and moving, The Joy Luck Club shows us how the inheritance of pain and unspoken secrets can lead to misunderstanding--and yet how love can still offer the promise of reconciliation., Master storyteller Amy Tan examines the sometimes painful, often tender, and always deep connection between mothers and daughters in this New York Times bestseller. " The Joy Luck Club is one of my favorite books. From the moment I first started reading it, I knew it was going to be incredible. For me, it was one of those once-in-a-lifetime reading experiences that you cherish forever. It inspired me as a writer and still remains hugely inspirational." --Kevin Kwan, author of Crazy Rich Asians In 1949 four Chinese women-drawn together by the shadow of their past-begin meeting in San Francisco to play mah jong, invest in stocks, eat dim sum, and "say" stories. They call their gathering the Joy Luck Club. Nearly forty years later, one of the members has died, and her daughter has come to take her place, only to learn of her mother's lifelong wish--and the tragic way in which it has come true. The revelation of this secret unleashes an urgent need among the women to reach back and remember..., NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - Amy Tan's modern classic that examines the sometimes painful, often tender, and always deep connection between mothers and daughters "For me, [ The Joy Luck Club ] was one of those once-in-a-lifetime reading experiences that you cherish forever.

The book purchased, identified in their listing as “Very Good”, was, in fact, “Like New”. The price was very fair. Shipping was slow, but that seems to be true with many things purchased in the internet.
