The Joy Luck Club by Amy Tan
3.0

This is basically a collection of short stories, which isn't what I was expecting but might have changed my perception had I known that going in. As is often the way with short story collections, some were great and some were only okay. The overall pacing was slow and it was very difficult to keep the characters straight. But overall, it was a good read and there were a few gems.
