![]() The Joy Luck ClubAmy TanAmy Tan's The Joy Luck Club describes the lives of four Asian women who fled China in the 1940s and their four very Americanized daughters. The novel focuses on Jing-mei (June), who takes her deceased mother's place in a social group in which the older women recount stories of the past and lament the barriers that exist between their daughters and themselves.
