This is a touching memoir of a Chinese American woman raised in America under the critical expectations of her Chinese mother. The story is vivid and explicitly describes her struggles trying to adapt to American culture. She slowly begins to resent her mother who is resistant to changing her Chinese traditions. Unfortunately, her children are raised suffering the consequences. Her mother was a proud, educated and highly respected doctor in China before moving to America to join her husband.
It’s a bittersweet story of family, resilience, honor and courage.
I would like to thank Doubleday Books and NetGalley for an advanced copy of this book. My review is my voluntary unbiased opinion.
