The Joy Luck Club is a tremendously well written book filled with passion, emotion, and love that arises from family interactions. This book is written in the form of eight vignettes, four from four different women (the mothers) and four from their daughters. This book concentrates on four Chinese American immigrant families that start this "club" for playing the traditional game of Mahjong. The story begins with June Woo who had just lost her mother to an aneurysm.
Great book about learning to slow down and live you are living at the present moment. A bit frustrating though, as I dont have the money to tka e sabbatical from life and go on a world tour to find myself. Favorite section is when the main character is sitting attemtping to be mindful of her surroundings and her thoughts without noticing herself being eaten by mosquitos. A goal in my life is to be mindful of mmyself in every situation....have a long way to go on that.
