BAD BAD GIRL
GISH JEN
Growing up in 1920s Shanghai, Gish Jen's mother was told every day it was 'no good for a girl be too smart' -a silencing message she attempts to escape yet brings with her to New York. In this riveting portrayal of a Chinese woman desiring emancipation but also control, Gish Jen gives us a heartbreaking mother-daughter relationship, saved by writing.[Bokinfo].
