Amy Tan’s beloved, New York Times bestselling tale of mothers and daughters. Nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s The Great American Read. 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.

看到這本書是因為一個很偶然的機會。我所在的小鎮的圖書館和一個鼓勵美國人讀書的組織聯閤舉辦這本書的座談會。這條信息在圖書館的網站上登瞭齣來,正好被我看見瞭。看瞭看介紹,是一本中國的第二代移民寫的書,居然在美國的暢銷書榜上常勝不衰,而且被全美的讀書協會推薦為必...
評分“I remember this, and more.” said Amy Tan. I read this, and gained more. I said. The beginning of the story shocked me when An Mei’s mother wanted to brought the swan to America but only left a feather in hand when she left the port. Every act by the mot...
評分在學校的最後一天看完瞭《喜福會》的文本,相比電影給我帶來的感動,不知道為何文字卻顯得感染力差瞭那麼點點。也許,視覺的衝擊來得太早,電影是不能早於小說來看的。電影的思路非常清晰,喜福會的四個中國女子四個人生的故事,母女的血脈相通就串連在每個故事之中。...
評分晚飯之後,他站在麵前,饒有興緻地試著新到的三雙鞋子和褲子,我坐在地上手撐到箱子上。我想他沒有注意到我皺起的眉頭,還有一個時刻差點湧齣來的淚水。《喜福會》讀到最後,雖然這本書不在乎有沒有一個結局,那時我卻是非常地難過,是為一本要讀完的書,遲遲不捨得翻開最後那...
評分“我們就像是颱階一樣,一級接著一級。”在外婆、媽媽和我這個颱階上,我從來,並且永遠都是位於第三的位置——雖然,在以後的歲月裏,我很有可能在不同颱階上更換位置,譬如說,我有瞭女兒,女兒又有瞭她的女兒。但這也改變不瞭我曾經忽視她們的事實。 打從我一生下...

很漂亮的文筆,雖然有時行文有點拖遝,
評分男權社會滲透於女性意識深層的自我貶低排斥,自我抹殺的傳統觀念,是一種集體無意識。在這樣的觀念之下,她們自然永遠無法達到母輩的要求,也無法正視原本的自我。母女們的悲歡故事大部分都是以沉默和打破沉默這條主綫編織起來的,沉默已經變成瞭一個象徵,它那巨大的毀滅性力量摧毀著女性賴以生存的自尊,自信和勇氣,使她們在沉重的壓抑之中喪失生存的能力。然而一旦打破沉默,這毀滅性的力量就會立刻消失,被壓抑已久的人性就將得到復蘇,平衡和諧的關係就會得到恢復。年輕一代的女性從母親身上汲取瞭精神的營養與力量,以積極樂觀的態度麵對新的生活。是小說的結尾處吳晶梅在母親去世之後代錶母親去大陸尋找她失散多年的雙胞胎姐姐一幕所象徵的。
評分行文簡單,感情深厚,怪不得被國內外校選作中學教材。我等DS比人傢遲瞭十幾年!

評分看到中間的時候隻想吐槽,各種描述中國傳統服飾的奇怪詞匯,故事也沒什麼意思,看到最後一篇的時候纔覺得整本書串聯起來所傳達的信息挺動人的
