The Joy Luck Club was the first book I ever read by Amy Tan, and while I've read a couple of her other books, I came back to this one. When I heard it was made into a movie, I couldn't believe it! Here is the true-to-form enactment of several key scenes and narrations from the book.

The "Joy Luck Club" of the title is a group of four older Chinese ladies who meet once a week to play mah jong, and compare stories of their families and grandchildren. All have made harrowing journeys from pre-revolutionary China to the comfortable homes in San Francisco where they meet.

The film begins with June's short narrative prologue about the swan feather in the opening credits and then her farewell surprise party in San Francisco for June's upcoming reunion with her long-lost twin sisters in China. Among the guests are members of The Joy Luck Club, their daughters, other relatives, and friends.
