For decades, a quartet of Chinese women who have emigrated to San Francisco gather to eat dim sum, play mahjong, and talk—they call themselves the Joy Luck Club. Over the years, their stories have informed the lives of four daughters who feel the weight of family and world history on their shoulders. With wit and sensitivity, this novel explores the deep, complicated, and sometimes painful connections between mothers and daughters. Read by Amy Tan, this recording of The Joy Luck Club entices listeners to immerse themselves into the complex lives of eight women bound by heartbreak, history, friendship, and familial love.
