- All daySign Up to Read The Joy Luck Club with Virtual Book Club!Join the Virtual Book Club @ the USF Sarasota-Manatee campus in reading The Joy Luck Club by Amy Tan!. . . . RSVP for your free copy (mailed to you!) and the link to access the first meeting. Book requests will be available until Friday, January 24th at 4:00 p.m. or until we run out. *Please note, Staff & Faculty will not receive a free book.. . . . Worried about getting your book in time? No need to read prior to this first meeting, where we'll start the conversation about our first read.. . . . About the Book:. . . . 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.. . . . “The Joy Luck Club is one of my favorite books. From the moment I first started reading it, I knew it was going to be incredible. For me, it was one of those once-in-a-lifetime reading experiences that you cherish forever. It inspired me as a writer and still remains hugely inspirational.” —Kevin Kwan, author of Crazy Rich Asians --- Event Details: https://bullsconnect.usf.edu/rsvp?id=1958969
