Why
We Love It:
Tan's blockbuster about Chinese immigrant women and their first-generation
American daughters gave us entry to a world many of us had never visited. At
the same time, she touched delicate, universal nerves between mothers and
daughters.
The
Sequel:
The millennial, second-generation daughters of Jing-Mei, Rose, Waverly and Lena
face their own challenges, including our culture's sometimes stereotypical
expectations of them. They might have their own virtual, lovingly ironized club
