Description
What happens when four women sit down to play mahjong? Everything. Secrets. Rivalries. Grief. Laughter. Lifelong friendship. And occasionally, a little drama over who discarded the wrong tile.
In The Table of Four, award-winning journalist Lynne Jeter takes readers inside the world of American mahjong—a game that has quietly anchored women’s social lives for a hundred years and has survived cancel culture, a tile revolution, and a scandalous card fiasco that shook its most powerful institution to its core.
Drawing on extensive interviews with players, historians, entrepreneurs, and insiders—including the son of the woman who built the modern American mahjong game with The Card—Lynne traces mahjong from its Chinese origins through the living rooms of Jewish New Yorkers, the country clubs of the South, and the pandemic-era boom that brought millions of new players to the table across America. Along the way, she discovers what the game has always really been about: the hunger for connection, the rituals that hold communities together, and what women reveal—and conceal—when they think they’re just playing a game.
The Table of Four is a celebration, an investigation, and an invitation. Pull up a chair.
