“The Joy Luck Club Revisited.”
“This was a GREAT book. Beautifully written. It has such GREAT insight into the Chinese culture and relates the experiences of war torn China from a very real, very raw, very personal perspective. ”
“My favorite one of Tan's novels. I found this book to be really moving. It's set in present day america with "flashbacks" to China during the war. It centers around a mother telling her daughter about her past in China. I loved it.”
