Amy Tan's The Joy Luck Club (Bloom's Modern Critical Interpretations)
What a good read. I loved the insight of culture in this book.
One of the most inspiration and humorous book I've read in a long time.
This book taught me that I would not like to be Chinese. First of all, everything they say has a double meaning and the whole time I was reading the book, I felt anxiety-filled. Secondly, I don't appreciate how this country allows people to become citizens simply because they deliver a child here....and I really don't appreciate how illegal aliens abuse and flaunt that aspect of the system.
It is an excellent you must read it.

Narrative To Books Amy Tan's The Joy Luck Club (Bloom's Modern Critical Interpretations)
This book is so powerful with such a bittersweet ending—it really caught me off guard. The colorful imagery is constant throughout, but isn’t too much. It tells the coming-of-age story of first-generation Americans with their traditional Chinese mothers, stereotypical, superstitious, driven. They push away their daughters by their constant criticism fueled by fear. I understand the daughters’ eye rolling, neglecting visits and avoiding phone calls, but gradually as flashback sequences unfold the trauma of their mothers’ horror-filled childhood with shamed concubine mothers, and young adulthoods of starving in war-revenged japan, I understood the lessons the mothers’ tried pounding into their daughters’ heads were survival tactics disguised as Chinese etiquette. The mothers remain the same, but my love and understanding for these hardcore and caring, heartbroken mothers grows through the novel. ❤️❤️ They are such complex characters. This story really was told so beautifully.Specify About Books Amy Tan's The Joy Luck Club (Bloom's Modern Critical Interpretations)
