Battle Hymn of the Tiger MotherBloomsbury Publishing, 02.02.2012 - 272 Seiten This 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 13-year-old. |
