Lucky ladies
Drawing from her mother’s tempestuous history as a Chinese émigré, Amy Tan weaves together tales of family, memory, struggle, fate, and ultimately self-discovery in this year’s Big Read, The Joy Luck Club. Intertwined with the experience of a young girl growing up between two cultures in California, four Chinese women arrive in San Francisco after World War II, and form the Joy Luck Club, which meets weekly to play Mah Jongg, invest in stocks, and, through storytelling, transform their hardship into good fortune.
