According to the book, which is called "The Joy Luck Club", by Amy Tam. It explains about four women who have formed this club since they moved to the U.S. First, they started to eat and play mahjong together. Then, it became a place that they shared the mysterious, darkness, and happiness of their lives of the old days in China. These women and their daughters form a complicated quilt of what it means to be a Chinese-American, whether born in China or in the United States, and they highlight the difficulties of bridging two cultures. That is why they can’t communicate with each other because of the generation gap. The mother had adopted the customs in China and the daughter had a hard time to understand or explain the mother’s straight actions to the others.
We highly recommend this book for teenagers to read because it is an inspired book that can make adolescences to think about their lives and observe their surroundings.
