A review by junyan
The Joy Luck Club by Amy Tan
4.0
Amy Tan clearly didn't know how to write pinyin.
This book can sometimes be very hard to read because it forced me to reflect on my relationship with my mother which I'm generally satisfied with now but has its rough past.
I can somehow resonate with the cultural conflicts presentation in this book even though I have never live abroad longer than a year. But I used to live in places that have different culture for many years (China is actually very diverse iykyk), so I definitely had struggled in adapting myself to various cultures and created many versions of myself.
