A brilliant first novel, The Joy Luck Club is the story of four mothers and their first-generation Chinese-American daughters; two generations of women stuggling to come to terms with their cultural identity. Tan writes from the heart, cutting sharp edges with wit, wisdom and a gentle and delicate precision. From the wealthy homes of pre-Revolutionary China to downtown San Francisco and the age of AIDS, the novel covers a remarkable spectrum and reveals the private secrets and ghosts that haunt, torment - and comfort.
Completely compelling.

Biographie d'Amy Tan

Amy Tan was born in Oakland, California in 1952, two and a half years after her parents emigrated to the US. Though her parents hoped she would become a neurosurgeon by trade and a concert pianist by hobby, instead she became an administrator of programmes for disabled children and later a reporter and editor. She visited China for the first time in 1987 and found it was just how her mother had said: As soon as my feet touched the China, I became Chinese.
Amy Tan lives in San Francisco with her husband. The Joy Luck Club is her first novel.
