书籍简介

四位母亲，四个女儿，四个家庭，其历史随风而动，取决于谁在说这些故事。1949年，四位刚到旧金山的中国妇女开始聚会，吃点心、打麻将、聊天。她们在共同的难以言喻的损失和希望中团结起来，自称为 "喜福会"。她们没有在悲剧中沉沦，而是选择聚会来提高自己的精神和金钱。绝望是对已经失去的东西的回望。或者延长已经无法忍受的事情。40年后，这些故事和历史仍在继续。

艾美-谭以其机智和敏感，审视了母亲和女儿之间有时是痛苦的、常常是温柔的、而且总是深刻的联系。当每个女人透露她的秘密，试图揭开她生活的真相时，绳子变得更加纠结，更加纠缠不清。母亲们对女儿们的夸耀或绝望，女儿们甚至在感受到母系纽带的不可分割的紧缩时也会翻白眼。谭嗣同是一个精明的讲故事的人，吸引着读者沉浸在这些复杂而神秘的生活中。

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.
