Now I know why this book is considered a literary classic. Amy Tan has a way with using symbolism, imagery, and dialog in order to create this multi-generational tale about hope, love, survival, mothers/daughter relationships, and life. The story is about four Chinese women who immigrated to America right after WWII. It is about their struggles in their war torn country and their hopes for their daughters' as they start a new life in the USA. The book also follows the 4 daughters as they walk that line of being American, but also trying to preserve their cultural heritage (when it suits them). This is not a very good description about this book, because there is just so much more to it, which many themes and issues discussed within. This would make a good book club choice.
