The Joy Luck Club by Amy TanMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
It's been months since I finished reading this in preparation to teach it to my sophomores, but the word masterful comes to mind. Tan's imagery and subtle weaving of plots lines creates captivating story telling at its greatest as well as awe at how well written her book is. The details about each of her mother/daughter pair is so specific, and yet the application of each story is universal. I love it.
(Again with the half stars - this would 4.5, but it earns the step up since I have to choose.)
