We read books that have been turned in to movies and then we watch the movie and discuss the differences!
This group meets on the fourth Sunday of the month at 3pm at Legally Brewed.
You do not have to buy the book through The Lore to participate (but it's extra awesome if you do!), you can just join us for the discussion!
You don't not have to have finished the book, though we will discuss the end of the book.
You do not have to come to every meeting (dip in and out of different book clubs, come see us once and then not again for six months, do whatever works for you)
The book for July 26, 2026 is The Joy Luck Club by Amy Tan.
Description:
In 1949, four Chinese women, recent immigrants to San Francisco, begin meeting to play mah jong, remember the past, and gossip into the night. United in unspeakable loss and new hope, they call themselves the Joy Luck Club.
With wit and sensitivity, Amy Tan examines the memories that display these women’s strength, worries, and determination. As each woman reveals her secrets, trying to unravel the truth about her life, the strings become more tangled, more entwined. Mothers boast or despair over daughters, and daughters roll their eyes even as they feel the inextricable tightening of the matriarchal ties that they believe have stymied their ability to face the uncertainties of the future.
Intimate and moving, The Joy Luck Club shows us how the inheritance of pain and unspoken secrets can lead to misunderstanding—and yet how love can still offer the promise of reconciliation.
