Title : The Joy Luck Club - Amy Tan - book
Summary :
How to experience China in America? Two generations of women, four mothers, four daughters share their stories. In 1949, four Chinese women, recent immigrants to San Francisco, met to discuss. United in their hopes and losses, they decided to form the Joy Luck Club.
The scents and flavors of yesteryear then resurface. We encounter babies married at birth, twin sisters lost on an exodus route, the Moon Lady who grants children's wishes, jealous and humiliated concubines...
Nostalgic and sometimes bitter, the fable collides with another language. That of a second generation yearning for a different life, free from the weight of tradition. At the crossroads of these two worlds: Jing-mei. At the Joy Luck Club, the young woman discovers the power of the legacy left by her mothers. Thus, the hope of reconciliation is born, because blood ties are unbreakable...
