When June's mother dies, she is invited to join a long-standing club of Chinese women who urge her not only to take her mother's place at the mah-jongg table, but also to carry the news of her mother's death to her step-sisters in China. Through the stories of the women and their daughters, the values of different generations are articulated. June's anxiety about her responsibility to the past is contrasted with the older women's concerns that their values and culture are being lost by their Americanized daughters.

The East is where things begin.

by  arianej ,  Mar 16, 2001
80 out of 80 people found this review helpful.
Pros: beautiful attention to detail, prose that reads like poetry, strong female characters
Cons: weaker male/minor characters, difficult to keep track of changing narrators
The Bottom Line: Rich with detail and Chinese folklore, this is complex and beautiful tale of mothers, daughters and so much more.

A Layering of generations and ideas

by  destipele ,  Dec 27, 2000
9 out of 9 people found this review helpful.
Pros: organization, universality
Cons: may be confusing to follow
This reviewer recommends this product.
Review: The structure of the book, The Joy Luck Club, by Amy Tan is very interesting and very much facilities the universality of the novel. An important key to the Joy Luck Club is its tying in of each families' story. The north, south, east, and west of...
