About this product

Product Information

" 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 Part of the Penguin Orange Collection, a limited-run series of twelve influential and beloved American classics in a bold series design offering a modern take on the iconic Penguin paperback Winner of the 2016 AIGA + Design Observer 50 Books - 50 Covers competition For the seventieth anniversary of Penguin Classics, the Penguin Orange Collection celebrates the heritage of Penguin's iconic book design with twelve influential American literary classics representing the breadth and diversity of the Penguin Classics library. These collectible editions are dressed in the iconic orange and white tri-band cover design, first created in 1935, while french flaps, high-quality paper, and striking cover illustrations provide the cutting-edge design treatment that is the signature of Penguin Classics Deluxe Editions today. The Joy Luck Club 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. With wit and sensitivity, Amy Tan's debut novel--now widely regarded as a modern classic--examines the sometimes painful, often tender, and always deep connection between these four women and their American-born daughters.

"Powerful as myth." -- The Washington Post Book World "Beautifully written...a jewel of a book." -- The New York Times Book Review "Powerful...full of magic...you won't be doing anything of importance until you have finished this book." -- Los Angeles Times "Wonderful...a significant lesson in what storytelling has to do with memory and inheritance." -- San Francisco Chronicle, "Powerful as myth." -- The Washington Post Book World "Beautifully written...a jewel of a book." -- The New York Times Book Review "Powerful...full of magic...you won't be doing anything of importance until you have finished this book." -- Los Angeles Times "Wonderful...a significant lesson in what storytelling has to do with memory and inheritance." -- San Francisco Chronicle " 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 "Reading it really changed the way I thought about Asian-American history. Our heritage has a lot of difficult stuff in it -- a lot of misogyny, a lot of fear and rage and death. It showed me a past that reached beyond borders and languages and cultures to bring together these disparate elements of who we are. I hadn't seen our history like that before. At that time, we hadn't seen a lot of Asian-American representations anywhere, so it was a big deal that it even existed. It made me feel validated and seen. That's what's so important about books like that. You feel like, Oh my god, I exist here. I exist in this landscape of literature and memoir. I'm here, and I have a story to tell, and it's among the canon of Asian-American stories that are feminist and that are true to our being. It's a book that has stayed with me and lived in me." -- Margaret Cho, "Powerful as myth." -- The Washington Post Book World "Beautifully written...a jewel of a book." -- The New York Times Book Review "Powerful...full of magic...you won't be doing anything of importance until you have finished this book." -- Los Angeles Times "Wonderful...a significant lesson in what storytelling has to do with memory and inheritance." -- San Francisco Chronicle, "Powerful as myth." -- The Washington Post Book World "Beautifully written...a jewel of a book." -- The New York Times Book Review "Powerful...full of magic...you won't be doing anything of importance until you have finished this book." -- Los Angeles Times "Wonderful...a significant lesson in what storytelling has to do with memory and inheritance." -- San Francisco Chronicle "Reading it really changed the way I thought about Asian-American history.

Mothers and daughters lay at the heart of Amy Tan's The Joy Luck Club but in bridging the generational gap--and crisscrossing the globe--this 1989 novel imparts key lessons for forging ahead in trying times" --Martha Cheng, Wall Street Journal " The Joy Luck Club is one of my favorite books.
