Synopsis

Updated with a new postscript by Amy Chua and a letter from her eldest daughter, Sophia Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother is a story about a mother, two daughters, and two dogs. It was supposed to be a story of how Chinese parents are better at raising kids than Western ones. But instead, it's about a bitter clash of cultures, a fleeting taste of glory, and how you can be humbled by a thirteen-year-old. Witty, entertaining and provocative, this is a unique and important book that will transform your perspective of parenting forever.

MEDIA REVIEWS

'Blissfully funny' * India Knight, Sunday Times *

'Millions of British children could use a Tiger Mother in their tank' * Allison Pearson, Daily Telegraph *
'A treat from first to last: ruefully funny, endlessly self-deprecating, riven with ironies .. I relished this memoir' * Independent *
'Entertaining, bracingly honest and, yes, thought-provoking' * New York Times *
