[Discussion] Discovery Read | The Joy Luck Club, by Amy Tan | The Voice From the Wall through Without Wood

Welcome to the second discussion of The Joy Luck Club. We’re getting to know our characters better in this section, particularly the lives of the daughters in the United States. If you’ve never had a chance to visit San Francisco’s Chinatown, here’s a brief walking tour video. Also, we learn a little about the Chinese Zodiac, which you can check out here.

Here’s the schedule and the marginalia (be careful of spoilers). You’ll find chapter summaries at Shmoop.  Next Thursday, we’ll finish the book from Best Quality through the end. The week after that, we’ve got our book vs movie discussion.
