Although written specifically about mothers from China and their daughters born in America, the relationships, thoughts and mysteries translate to any culture. As good as I remember. The last chapter always makes me cry. Recall this read and enjoyed it a lot. But did not record a comment at the time (such were those busy motherhood + career days). Has been criticized for perpetuating negative Asian American sterotypes, but I probably did not know enough about those stereotypes at the time to be able to detect them. I got lost in the mother-daughter pairings and had to keep checking back to the mothers' history to get my bearings. Each of the mothers' background is distinctive but the daughters' are less so. But that is to be expected since they grew up in the same place. This was a 4-stars book till the end, when Jing-Mei made the journey to China to meet her half-sisters. During the trip, she mourned for the mother she lost, whom she never got to know better. I was moved and my tears just can't stop flowing.
In Tan's hands, these linked stories - diverse as they are - fit almost magically into a powerfully coherent novel, whose winning combination of ingredients - immigrant experience, mother-daughter ties, Pacific Rim culture - make it a book with the ``good luck'' to be in the right place at the right time. In the hands of a less talented writer such thematic material might easily have become overly didactic, and the characters might have seemed like cutouts from a Chinese-American knockoff of ''Roots.'' But in the hands of Amy Tan, who has a wonderful eye for what is telling, a fine ear for dialogue, a deep empathy for her subject matter and a guilelessly straightforward way of writing, they sing with a rare fidelity and beauty. She has written a jewel of a book.

In 1949, four Chinese women--drawn together by the shadow of their past--begin meeting in San Francisco to play mah jong, invest in stocks and "say" stories. They call their gathering the Joy Luck Club--and forge a relationship that binds them for more than three decades. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
