The Joy Luck Club is a fabulous concoction." In 1949 four Chinese women--drawn together by the shadow of their past--begin meeting in San Francisco to play mah jong, invest in stocks, eat dim sum, and "say" stories. 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. In this extraordinary first work of fiction, Amy Tan writes about what is lost--over the years, between generations, among friends--and what is saved. 650 0 $a Chinese Americans $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Chinese American women $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Mothers and daughters $z United States $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Families $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Women $z China $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Domestic fiction. $2 lcsh 655 7 $a Didactic fiction. $2 gsafd 655 0 $a Audiobooks. 700 1 $a Tan, Amy. 776 1 $c Original $z 9781597770736 $w (OCoLC)70152854 856 40 $u http://wilbor.lib.overdrive.com/ContentDetails.htm?ID=4D843901-44DE-41A6-A59D-141F7726194B 856 4 $3 Excerpt $u http://excerpts.contentreserve.com/FormatType-25/1314-1/122731-TheJoyLuckClub.wma 856 4 $3 Excerpt $u http://excerpts.contentreserve.com/FormatType-425/1314-1/122731-TheJoyLuckClub.mp3 941 $a 1 952 $l GUPF501 $d 20111119011049.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E63E4320F0A911E0AE0F109F6AFF544E 994 $a C0 $b JINInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
