The Joy Luck Club
BeckyWalker avatar reviewed on + 120 more book reviews


A beautiful tale of a daughter learning of her mother's life before she was born, her mother's friends and their daughters, and her Chinese heritage. The women tell stories of lives once lived in a far away land, remembrances of their youth, some hard times but also wonderful memories. She begins to search for something lost that her mother never found, a wish, and wants to help finish her mother's story. A wonderful read.
