The Joy Luck Club by Amy Tan
In this novel four Chinese mothers, who left their native land behind but not their old customs, and their four American-born daughters tell their stories about living life caught between two cultures. The mothers meet up and form their own club to gossip, play mah-jong and exchange memories.
Amy Tan was born in Oakland, California in 1952, two and a half years after her parents had emigrated to the US. Though her parents had hoped that she would become a neuro-surgeon 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 China, I became Chinese.' Amy Tan lives in San Francisco with her husband. The Joy Luck Club is her first novel.
