MOTHERS AND MAHJONG
Three mothers, four daughters, and a mahjong group that each of their stories weave through. These key ingredients to Amy Tan's first novel, which spent nine months on the bestseller list, catapulted Chinese American experiences into mainstream literature as Tan's exploration of assimilation, second culture, and familial tensions resonated through a country of immigrants.
This first edition is inscribed and stamped by Tan on ffep in the year of publication; "To Joann, Best wishes for joy + luck + double happiness in your art."
