        <description><![CDATA[One Chinese belief in the  book is that the physical positioning of a house, or even the furniture in the house, will determine the fate of the people who reside in it. For example, she says, "This house was built too steep, and a bad wind from the top blows all your strength back down the hill. So you can never get ahead. You are always rolling backward."

        <description><![CDATA[The Joy Luck Club was originally started as a gathering of four women to play mah jong and "to raise money and to raise [their] spirits." The women had these weekly parties to escape if ever so briefly the horrible reality that they saw day to day. "What was worse...to sit and wait for our own deaths...or to choose our own happiness?" With a war going on and death everywhere, these women used their weekly meetings to take a break from reality.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Amy Tan wrote "A Pair of Tickets," the novel's last chapter, first as a short story.  She wrote the story and subsequent novel to better understand her mother.  She dedicates the novel to her mother, "to the memory of her."  In the dedication, she says, "You asked me once what I would remember.  This, and much more."  China had only been a memory to Jing-Mei.  It was the setting for her mother's and aunts' stories.

        <description><![CDATA[An explanation of the title "The Joy Luck Club" is provided the reader in the course of the narrative.  The Joy Luck Club was formed by one of the four Chinese-immigrant women in China before their coming to America.  Suyuan Woo started this club to distract her friends from their oppression in China. That is, she hoped the club could keep them--at least for a while--from thinking about their woes during the Japanese invasion of China. ...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The entire incident with Lindo and Ying-Ying being deceived by the Huangs and by the farce that the family offers so that their son, Tyan-yu  marries Lindo served the mother and daughter to realize that the surface of others dragged their dreams and hopes away. Tyan-yu was presented to them as a hope for a better life, and as protection for Lindo. In fact, Tyan-yu was probably gay, and the family was not rich at all, treated Lindo horribly...]]></description>
