Joy Luck

The Making of Mrs Stevens Joy Luck

Three generations of women from the wealthy Wilton family can claim to have fallen for the loves of their lives the moment they set eyes on them. It is just a decade into the turbulent twentieth century when Elizabeth meets the distinguished young man who offers her adventure as well as his heart. Their separations are forced upon them by world events, but their daughter and grand-daughter face difficult decisions in their quests for happiness. In the 1960s, having found a man who loves her rather than her family's wealth, beautiful, famous Ronnie is content to keep out of the spotlight. In the twenty-first century, however, it is Emma's story that proves to be the most complicated. Can she use the collective wisdom of previous generations to help her step onto the public stage in order to recapture the happiness that was once briefly hers many years earlier?
