谭恩美,《喜福会》
Four mothers, four daughters, four families, whose histories shift with the four winds depending on who's telling the stories. In 1949, four Chinese women, recent immigrants to San Francisco, meet weekly to play mahjong and tell stories of what they left behind in China. … Their daughters, who have never heard these stories, think their mothers' advice is irrelevant to their modern American lives—until their own inner crises reveal how much they've unknowingly inherited of their mothers' pasts.
