Amy Tan’s beloved, New York Times bestselling tale of mothers and daughters. Nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s The Great American Read. Four mothers, four daughters, four families whose histories shift with the four winds depending on who's "saying" the stories. In 1949 four Chinese women, recent immigrants to San Francisco, begin meeting to eat dim sum, play mahjong, and talk. United in shared unspeakable loss and hope, they call themselves the Joy Luck Club. Rather than sink into tragedy, they choose to gather to raise their spirits and money. "To despair was to wish back for something already lost. Or to prolong what was already unbearable." Forty years later the stories and history continue. With wit and sensitivity, Amy Tan examines the sometimes painful, often tender, and always deep connection between mothers and daughters. As each woman reveals her secrets, trying to unravel the truth about her life, the strings become more tangled, more entwined. Mothers boast or despair over daughters, and daughters roll their eyes even as they feel the inextricable tightening of their matriarchal ties. Tan is an astute storyteller, enticing readers to immerse themselves into these lives of complexity and mystery.

评分“我们就像是台阶一样,一级接着一级。”在外婆、妈妈和我这个台阶上,我从来,并且永远都是位于第三的位置——虽然,在以后的岁月里,我很有可能在不同台阶上更换位置,譬如说,我有了女儿,女儿又有了她的女儿。但这也改变不了我曾经忽视她们的事实。 打从我一生下...
评分女性书写之里程碑作品《简•爱》在1847年出版时以柯勒•贝尔(Currer Bell)这一性别不明的笔名出版;乔治•艾略特这一男性笔名和其行文风格常常使读者认为其作者理所应当为男性;伊莱娜•内米洛夫斯基1929年寄往出版社的《大卫•格德尔》除了留下了邮箱外没有其他...
评分这本书与作者的《接骨师之女》是在一块儿读完的。心里很是难受。 个人感觉,相对于《接骨师之女》,这部小说的文笔青涩了许多。甚至看起来都不太像小说,像一篇篇散文,娓娓道来,不疾不徐。 母亲一辈的坎坷在历史书里学过,女儿们的叛逆与反思,我半懂不懂。隔...
还是看中国人的书轻松(虽然觉得其中很多内容有问题),能引起很多共鸣~~
评分Finally!
评分看到中间的时候只想吐槽,各种描述中国传统服饰的奇怪词汇,故事也没什么意思,看到最后一篇的时候才觉得整本书串联起来所传达的信息挺动人的
评分读女作家总会有的一种感觉,对绵密的笔法严重喜欢不起来。
评分Mothers and daughters and families losing and finding each other across cultural boundaries. There's enough material to write 1000 books:
