	Joy in the Morning by Betty Smith
		This is probably due to the topic: the novel is about a young woman who has married early, followed her husband to college, gets pregnant and has a baby.
		But Smith's novel was not romantic: the heroine has difficulty feeling sexual, even after marriage, because of memories of sexual abuse, and the young couple does not go off into a rosy future, but rather deals with the daily drama of finding enough money for food and shelter throughout a pregnancy.
		Joy in the Morning really captures the feeling of impending change brought about by childbirth: it is when everything is centered around that one thing, waiting, for weeks, just before your life is about to change forever.

	Amazon.ca: Obasan: Books: Joy Kogawa (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-30)
		Joy Kogawa's Obasan is a novel of memory, exploring the Canadian government's deplorable treatment of Japanese Canadians during the Second World War, which included the suspension of all rights, forced internment and labour, and the fracturing of families.
		In the introduction, the author states that "Although this novel is based on historical events, and many of the persons named are real, most of the characters are fictional." Without this explanation I would have never categorized Obasan as a novel.
		Obasan, written by Joy Kogawa, is a deeply detailed book that sends the reader on a journey through actual events, dream sequences, and a twisted maze of a Japanese family's struggle in Canada during the 1940's-1970's.

	Amazon.ca: Excessive Joy Injures the Heart: Books: Elisabeth Harvor (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-30)
		Excessive Joy Injures The Heart is an obsession-making, confoundingly un-put-down-able novel; you may experience sleeplessness combined with a yearning, beguiling need to read it all in one sitting.
		One of the delights in Harvor's novel is her satirical treatment of the faddism surrounding alternative medicine in all its flaky, New Age splendor.
		No matter how "touchy-feely" alternative medicine claims to be, Harvor's novel reminds us, New Age doctors like Declan Farrell and Alan Breit ("a spooky gym class for one student") are not carving out any new territory when it comes to using their "expertise" as a weapon of power against their female patients.

	Amy Tan Biography \| Encyclopedia of World Biography
		In the novel, the club becomes a metaphor for the reconciliation of the conflict between maternal expectation and tradition, and filial individuality and cultural independence.
		Some reviewers of The Joy Luck Club argued that Tan's thematic development was unsuccessful and resulted in strained, "over-significant" scenes, while others found her use of multiple narrative voices to be "limiting" and "over-schematic." However, critical reception of the novel was generally favorable.
		Throughout the novel, the various mothers and daughters attempt to articulate their own concerns about the past and the present and about themselves and their relations.

	The Joy Luck Club Movie Review by Anthony Leong from MediaCircus.net
		And though the story is deeply entrenched in the Asian-American experience, "The Joy Luck Club" ends up transcending all races and cultures with its heartfelt examination of the special bond between mothers and their daughters.
		This is the common motivation that underlies all the vignettes, and even though the courageous acts of self-sacrifice are not always overt or well understood by the daughters, they remain powerful testaments to the unbreakable ties between a mother and her child.
		Instead, they are tears of joy as the torch of hope and the aspirations of a better life are passed on to a new generation.

		The novel suggests that Lise's time in the army is a time of self-camouflage: identity is veiled beneath the drab, machine-like uniformity of military life.
