How I love this book and tale of 8 Chinese women. I visit their stories often. This book really captivated me and makes me cry everytime i read it. It goes to show you that every person has a story. Gosh, I will forever be blessed by this book! The movie is VERY, VERY faithful!!!

I started to read this as a novel initially and tried to keep up with the relationship trees between the moms and daughters of the Joyluck club. However, I was quiet unsuccessful and had more success with reading this and individual stories slightly interconnected and just focusing on each of these women’s experiences and how they differed from each other although they were all Chinese immigrant experiences. Insightful and engaging, I’d recommend this one

I had to read this in order to do a paper for a English class in college. As far as it being interesting, some of the points were but I also remember that some of the points where kind of 'stupid'. It was interesting see how another person interpreted her work though.
