In 1949 four Chinese women, recent immigrants to San Francisco, begin meeting to eat dim sum, play mahjong, and talk. United in shared unspeakable loss and hope, they call themselves the Joy Luck Club. Rather than sink into tragedy, they choose to gather to raise their spirits and money. Nearly forty years later, one of the members has died, and her daughter has come to take her place, only to learn of her mother's lifelong wish and the tragic way in which it has come true. The revelation of this secret unleashes an urgent need among the women to reach back and remember. 538 $a Unabridged. 541 $d 20080716. 650 $a Chinese American women $z Fiction. 650 $a Female friendship $v Fiction. 650 $a Chinese Americans $x Fiction. 650 $a Mothers and daughters $z United States $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Family $x Fiction. 650 4 $a The Great American Read 2018. 650 7 $a Women $x Societies and clubs $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Women $z China $v Fiction. 650 $a Mothers $x Death $v Fiction. 651 $a San Francisco (Calif) $x Fiction. 655 7 $a Domestic fiction. 655 7 $a Audiobooks. 700 $a Yeo, Gwendoline, $d 1977- 941 $a 1 952 $l SKPC094 $d 20190504020749.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4896EA826E3211E98D41053B97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
