What was Amy Tan's childhood like s a Chinese-American girl in the 1950s?
The best-selling author shares how her parents' journey from China to the United States shaped her childhood experience, navigating between two distinct worlds and cultures.
Through the gatherings of the ‘Joy Luck Club,’ Amy's family and their friends, much like other Chinese immigrants at the time, bonded through a shared culture. However, she also experienced a stark contrast when she realized that she was ‘different’ from the other kids at her school.
