Synopsis
When June's mother dies, she is invited to join a long-standing club of Chinese women who urge her not only to take her mother's place at the mah-jongg table, but also to carry the news of her mother's death to her step-sisters in China. Through the stories of the women and their daughters, the values of different generations are articulated. June's anxiety about her responsibility to the past is contrasted with the older women's concerns that their values and culture are being lost by their Americanized daughters.

Publisher's Note
First time in trade paperback. The New York Times Book Review says of this mesmerizing novel by Amy Tan: "So beutifully written that one should . . . allow oneself to be bourne along as if in a dream . . . a jewel of a book". "The Joy Luck Club is a pure joy to read".--Chicago Tribune.

This widely acclaimed bestseller spans two countries and two generations, following a group of Chinese women who meet to play mah jong, invest money and tell the secret stories of their lives. They call their gathering the Joy Luck Club.

Industry Reviews
"Honest, moving and beautifully courageous....[She shows us] the mystery of the mother-daughter bond in ways that we have not experienced before."
Alice Walker

"'The Joy Luck Club' is that rare mesmerizing novel that one always seeks but seldom finds. 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.... writing that makes a difference, that alters the way we understand the world and ourselves, that transcends topicality, and by those criteria 'The Joy Luck Club' is the real thing."
Chicago Tribune Books - Michael Dorris (03/12/1989)

"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 Book Review - Carolyn See (03/12/1989)
