SYNOPSIS OF THE BOOK/ FILM The Joy Luck Club, written by Amy Tan, is a powerful portrayal of four Chinese women and the lives of their children in America. Amy Tan's novel focused and explored the different mother- daughter relationships between the character's friends, lovers and even enemies.
The book is organized into four sections, two devoted to the mothers and two devoted to the daughters. This organized setting will be definitely included in the production of the film. The film will also include the same eight principle characters that was incorporated into the book. These eight characters are necessary because they connect the whole novel together. The lives of each of the characters will be closely examined as they were throughout the novel.
I think that more emphasis will be placed on the importance of the title. The Joy Luck Club was a group created by one of the characters, Suyuan Woo.
