Join us on the third Thursday of every month to find out if the book really is better than the movie. Each month we will read a book and then come together to watch the movie adaptation and discuss our thoughts. Snacks will be served, so make sure to register!
May pick: The Joy Luck Club by Amy Tan
There are several copies of the book available at the library for pickup.
About the Book
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.
