When Kathryn Harrison was a little girl, her young mother left her in the care of her imperious British grandmother who was raised in Shanghai. She grew up in the shadow of two remarkable women, striving to find her own way to live. In this witty, touching memoir, Kathryn Harrison writes of the ties that bind mothers to their children - and the forces that can drive them apart.
