Book: The Joy Luck Club
Author: Amy Tan
Pages: 352
This is my 56th read of the year
This is the story of 4 women and 4 daughters. In 1949 the women beginning meeting to talk and coin themselves The Joy Luck Club. Together their collective tragedies and loss bond them over the years. And 40 years later, when one of the women has passed away, them come together to share moments from their mother/daughter relationships.
This was an okay book. IT is more a book of short stories that intertwine a bit rather than one long story. At times I had a hard time keeping track of who was talking. I did listen to this book, and that might have been its downfall - I didn't love the narrator. Whole thing didn't flow well for me but some of the stories were interesting.
