"The Joy Luck Club is an ambitious saga that's impossible to read without wanting to call your mum" Stylist "Pure enchantment" Mail on Sunday "Honest, moving and beautifully courageous" -- Alice Walker "In this deft and original debut, Amy Tan shows that she is both a consummate storyteller and writer whose prose manages to be emotionally charged without a trace of sentimentality" Sunday Times "A brilliant first novel... Tan writes from the heart, cutting sharp edges with wit, wisdom and a gentle and delicate precision... The novel covers a remarkable spectrum and reveals the private secrets and ghosts that haunt, torment - and comfort. Completely compelling" Time Out
