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. Rather than sink into tragedy, they choose to gather to raise their spirits and money. To despair was to wish back for something already lost. Or to prolong what was already unbearable. Forty years later the stories and history continue. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith wit and sensitivity, Amy Tan examines the sometimes painful, often tender, and always deep connection between mothers and daughters. 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 their matriarchal ties. Tan is an astute storyteller, enticing readers to immerse themselves into these lives of complexity and mystery.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Amy Tan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penguin Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/21\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.20w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780143038092\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAge Range:\u003c\/b\u003e 18-UP\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 5.7\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 14\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Upper Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e7111 \/ Joy Luck Club\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAmy Tan\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eThe Joy Luck Club\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Kitchen God's Wife\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Hundred Secret Senses\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Bonesetter's Daughter\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Opposite of Fate: Memories of a Writing Life\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eSaving Fish from Drowning\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Valley of Amazement\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eWhere the Past Begins: Memory and Imagination\u003c\/i\u003e, and two children's books, \u003ci\u003eThe Moon Lady\u003c\/i\u003e and\u003ci\u003e The Chinese Siamese Cat\u003c\/i\u003e, which was adapted into a PBS television series.
