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. "To despair was to wish back for something already lost. Or to prolong what was already unbearable." Forty years later the stories and history continue.<br><br>With wit and sensitivity, Amy Tan examines the sometimes painful, often tender, and always deep connection between mothers and daughters. As each woman reveals her secrets, trying to unravel the truth about her life, the strings become more tangled, more entwined. </p><p><br></p><h3>How is a virtual literay salon different than a book club?</h3><p>Here's what is included:</p><ul><li>Meet and discuss great literature with readers in different cities.</li><li>Logistics like technology and time are all sorted for you.</li><li>Thematic prompts to think about and guide your reading.</li><li>Learn about the author’s biography and their inspiration for the novel.</li><li>Get key context to better understand the novel.</li><li>A facilitated, intelligent discussion on themes, characters, and plot points.</li><li>A safe space to discuss challenging ideas with the book at the centre.</li></ul><p><em><em>This description may contain affiliate links.</em></em></p>
