ATP Book Club
Continue developing your English skills through reading!
Every month we will read a new book to help enhance our vocabulary, gain more literary schema, and continue to educate ourselves. This is not a 'club' in the traditional sense as we will not be meeting to discuss the book. Rather, you can read on your own and complete the handouts in your own time as well. Think of this as a way to keep you accountable for reading and could become a great conversation starter, OR may show up in something you interpret down the road.
*You purchase/rent/borrow the book & everything else is free!

The Joy Luck Club by Amy Tan
A rich tapestry of 16 interconnected stories about four Chinese immigrant mothers and their American-born daughters in San Francisco, exploring identity, cultural clashes, and the powerful, often painful, bonds of family through shared mahjong games and flashbacks to traumatic pasts in China, culminating in a daughter traveling to China to meet her long-lost half-sisters, bridging centuries of unspoken stories and misunderstandings
