Hard to believe that the author represents Chinese motherhood as she states again and again in this book. Found her approach to raising her daughters a bit much. It's not acceptable if her daughters are not at the top of their classes or do not perform musically beyond every other child. The author admits that she yells and screams to get them do do what she wants them to do because it's for their own good. Is this what it takes to be a good mother? I think there is much more to the task which she tries to admit at the end of the book, but her statements left me wondering if she ever would.
