The joy luck club : Amy Tan
Four mothers, four daughters, four families whose histories shift with the four winds depending on who's "saying" the stories. 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. With 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.

Joy Luck Club
"There are so many things that a mother wishes to teach her daughter. How to lose your innocence but not your hope. How to keep hoping, when hope is your only joy. How to laugh for ever. This is the story of four mothers and their daughters - Chinese-American women, the mothers born in China, and the daughters born in America. Through their eyes we see life in pre-Revolutionary China, and life in downtown San Francisco; women struggling to find a cultural identity that can include a past and a future half a world apart."--P. [4] of cover.
The Joy Luck Club, Amy Tan
Four Chinese women begin meeting in San Francisco to play mah jong, invest in stocks, eat, and "say" stories. 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.
Adaptations
In 1949 four Chinese women, recent immigrants to San Francisco, gather 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 sometimes painful, often tender, memories that reveal these women's strength, worries, and determination, which their American-born daughters reject as irrelevant. The daughters, in turn, recall pivotal moments of their own past. They believe their mother's expectations have stymied their ability to face the uncertainties of the future. We see how the inheritance of pain and unsaid secrets have led to misunderstanding and yet how love can still undo the damage and provide reconciliation. - Flyleaf.

Belletristische Darstellung
En 1949, cuatro mujeres chinas que recientemente han emigrado a San Francisco inician una serie de reuniones durante las que comen dim sum, juegan al mah jong y hablan. Unidas por lo que comparten, la pérdida y la esperanza, se hacen llamar El Club de la Buena Estrella. Con grandes dosis de ingenio y de sensibilidad, Amy Tan explora la conexión a veces dolorosa y a veces tierna, pero siempre profunda, entre las protagonistas y sus hijas ya nacidas en Estados Unidos, un mundo tan distinto al suyo. A medida que cada una de ellas nos va revelando sus secretos y nos van mostrando la verdad sobre sus vidas, los hilos se van entrelazando de una manera casi mágica.
