A stunning literary achievement, THE JOY LUCK CLUB explores
the tender and tenacious bond between four daughters and
their mothers. The daughters know one side of their
mothers, but they don't know about their earlier never-
spoken of lives in China. The mothers want love and
obedience from their daughters, but they don't know the
gifts that the daughters keep to themselves. Heartwarming
and bittersweet, this is a novel for mother, daughters, and
those that love them.
