This book is very interesting to read, is different from other's book and is based on a true lives from four Chinese mothers and their four daughter's. I strongly recommend to read and after that there also a free movie online to watch. Moreover, the seller send the book on time and in good conditions.

Excellent work. Beautiful, fully fleshed out characters, real struggles, and incredible stories of recollection. The power of female relationships and memory are so prominent, and everything connects subtly and naturally.

This work by Amy Tan tells the stories of Chinese mothers and their children living in the United States.

I found it a real eyeopener particularly the successes they had achieved given the difficulties in their early lives.

The work was easy to read and really enjoyable.

Great fiction book with lots of insight into the culture and background of Chinese Americans. The mother-daughter relationship also had deep meaning for me. Fast read because it truly held your interest.

This is a timeless and universal story of mothers and daughters--with lots of Chinese wisdom and folklore sprinkled in. In particular, it is the story of four mothers and four daughters. Each of the eight women is a fully-developed character, with each new chapter switching to a different character. While it's a little tricky keeping track of who's who and who belongs to who (the Kindle X-ray feature is a HUGE help with this), the book is riveting. The relationships and stories of the eight women are intricate but captivating. The four mothers were all born in China and immigrated to the United States under heartbreaking circumstances. The four daughters were all born in the United States. It's a tale of tradition vs. modernism, of long-ingrained custom vs. societal change, of Chinese heritage vs. becoming American. Amy Tan's "The Joy Luck Club" captured my heart and wouldn't let go.

an awesome book, especially for immigrants or first gen americans like me. i read it first as a class project, theres a ton of symbolism and metaphors, but you can read it without analysing too :) i got it for my mom, because i knew she'd understand. you dont have to be from china to understand it. its hard to name, you know? too hard to explain just read :)

I enjoyed hearing the stories of these generations of Chinese women. It was a little hard to keep them all straight as it jumped around from story to story. But still very interesting, tragic at times, and heart warming.
