Hubby and I referred to this as the "communist propaganda book" while I was reading it. Written in the 80s by a trio of Romanians trying to put a positive spin on Romania's WWII activities without insulting the Soviet Union, this would have been an interesting study in how to slant history if the writing hadn't been so bad. It's almost what you would expect to find in a magazine like Foreign Policy, only it was book-length, poorly-written, and oozing with communist propaganda. The authors probably should have stuck to article-length; then they wouldn't have had to repeat themselves so often. About the communist slant. Most historians call King Micheal’s arrest of military dictator Antonescu a coup. Not these authors. To them, it was the beginning of a Glorious Communist Revolution. The efforts of the king and the few pro-democracy parties that survived the war are dismissed (they were just realizing that Germany could no longer support their bourgeois society). The authors simply don't mention the fact that the USSR took Bessarabia and Bukovina from Romania in 1940 and barely mention Romania's 4-year alliance with Nazi Germany. When commenting on how quickly the army managed to switch from fighting the Russians to fighting the Germans—oh, you guessed it, it was all thanks to the work of the local communists and their propaganda. Other than that, what's not to love about a book that uses the term 'Hitlerites' or some variant of it an average of once a page? Seriously, there are better, more accurate books out there on the subject.

I quite liked this, though not as much as the other work of Tan's that I've read (The Bonesetter's Daughter). Both of them deal with very similar themes - cultural identity, displacement, the problems facing the first generation children of immigrants, the problems of those immigrants themselves, how to hold onto your own culture in a vastly different land. However, I felt as if The Joy Luck Club was a less powerful novel for me. I think that was not because Tan addressed those themes any less successfully, or because they're not themes I'm interested in (coming from a country which has in many ways identified itself by its emigrant tradition, far from it); I think it was because of the structure of the novel, and some of its weaknesses. It's a first novel, and that shows in many ways. The structure of the book - an alternating series of stories told by various mothers and daughters - doesn't always work as well as it might. There are one or two points towards the end of the book, I think, where she switches the POV within the chapter; only for brief periods, but it's enough to cause slight confusion and disorientation. Some of the stories are stronger than others, too, their narratives more tightly constructed and less prone to sentimentality. Jing-Mei's story, for instance, of being re-united with her long-lost twin sisters after so many years of separation, felt too soapy for me, and didn't ring true. I found myself much more interested in the story of the mothers and their struggles than in the daughters, overall. Her prose is lovely, however, and it's an enjoyable book. I think I have a preference for her later work, though.
