Book 0147
Joy Luck Club by Amy Tan
Donated by Ada, who says...
Joy Luck club was the first book I read where I felt I belonged to the book and the book belonged to me. It is about motherhood, daughterhood and it sheds light on the cultural disparity between 1st generation migrants and their children. I laughed, I cried and I changed my perspective on my own relationship with my mother. Beautiful storytelling and cleverly written, like four sides of a mahjong table, the characters take turns, and tile by tile the story unravels. I love it and hope you do too.
