Sheila Marie Orfano: Why should you read "The Joy Luck Club" by Amy Tan? (2019x141)

Fecha de emisión: Dic 16, 2019

In her Auntie An-mei's home, Jing-Mei reluctantly takes her seat at the eastern corner of the mahjong table. At the north, south and west corners are her aunties, long-time members of the Joy Luck Club. This gathering is the point of departure for a series of interconnected vignettes in Amy Tan's debut novel. Sheila Marie Orfano explores why the novel still captivates readers worldwide.
