O Clube da Sorte e da Alegria

Sobre o livro

The Joy Luck Club is a 1989 novel written by Amy Tan. It focuses on four Chinese immigrant families in San Francisco who start a mahjong club known as The Joy Luck Club. The book is structured similarly to a mahjong game, with four parts divided into four sections to create sixteen chapters. The three mothers and four daughters share stories about their lives in the form of short vignettes. Each part is preceded by a parable relating to the themes within that section. The novel has been widely discussed for its portrayal of Chinese immigrant mothers and their American-born daughters, especially around bilingual, bicultural, and intergenerational identity conflicts.
