Called "The Joy Luck Club" by the ladies who also use the game time to plan financial investments, "Joy Luck" symbolizes the merging of their hopes and cultures in this new land. June reluctantly agrees, and during the game the aunties urge her to travel to China to meet her long lost twin sisters, and share with them the reasons that their mother had to leave them behind in China. June perceives the aunties are insecure regarding their own relationships with their daughter's, and promises to find her long lost sister's and tell them about their mother. So opens the stories of June and her mother Suyuan, along with the stories of An-Mei and daughter Rose, Ying-Ying and daughter Lena and Lindo and her daughter Waverly. The lives of these women give us a glimpse of what it means to be a Chinese-American. The mothers all grew up in China where made difficult and often heart-breaking choices that profoundly shaped their lives, before eventually meeting each other and emigating to America, where they share one hope, that their daughters will benefit from all they have experienced . The Joy Luck Club's American-born daughters tell of growing up in a land very differant from those their mother's experienced. They have little comprehension of their mothers early lives and see them as unskilled in American ways and a constant source of embarrasment and guilt. The mothers want their daughters to remember where they came from, the daughters want their mothers to accept them for who they are. The intertwined stories of The Joy Luck Club take the reader on a journey that opens the mind and captures the heart. Cuando leí este libro, me sorprendió la fluidez de su autora, he leído varias de sus obras y todas ellas me han gustado, sin embargo, reconozco que la forma y la manera como me enganchó en este libro, no lo ha logrado con las demás. Unas vidas marcadas por diferentes situaciones, lograr la fusión de una generación a otra llevando las diferencias de una forma tan sutil, tierna y a la vez abismal. En resumen, una lectura por mi parte de lo más recomendable.
In Tan's hands, these linked stories - diverse as they are - fit almost magically into a powerfully coherent novel, whose winning combination of ingredients - immigrant experience, mother-daughter ties, Pacific Rim culture - make it a book with the ``good luck'' to be in the right place at the right time. In the hands of a less talented writer such thematic material might easily have become overly didactic, and the characters might have seemed like cutouts from a Chinese-American knockoff of ''Roots.'' But in the hands of Amy Tan, who has a wonderful eye for what is telling, a fine ear for dialogue, a deep empathy for her subject matter and a guilelessly straightforward way of writing, they sing with a rare fidelity and beauty. She has written a jewel of a book.

En 1949, cuatro mujeres chinas que recientemente han emigrado a San Francisco inician una serie de reuniones durante las que comen dim sum, juegan al mah-jong y hablan. Unidas por lo que comparten, la pérdida y la esperanza, se hacen llamar El Club de la Buena Estrella.Con grandes dosis de ingenio y de sensibilidad, Amy Tan explora la conexión a veces dolorosa y a veces tierna, pero siempre profunda, entre las protagonistas y sus hijas ya nacidas en Estados Unidos, un mundo tan distinto al suyo. A medida que cada una de ellas nos va revelando sus secretos y nos van mostrando la verdad sobre sus vidas, los hilos se van entrelazando de una manera casi mágica.
