Krátky popis
In this taut and explosive debut novel, one lapse in judgement
lands a young mother in a government reform program where custody
of her child hangs in the balance. Frida Liu is struggling. She
doesn’t have a career worthy of her Chinese immigrant parents’
sacrifices. She can’t persuade her husband, Gust, to give up his
wellness-obsessed younger mistress. Only with Harriet, their
cherubic daughter, does Frida finally attain the perfection
expected of her. Harriet may be all she has, but she is just
enough. Until Frida has a very bad day. The state has its eyes on
mothers like Frida. The ones who check their phones, letting their
children get injured on the playground, who let their children walk
home alone. Because of one moment of poor judgment, a host of
government officials will now determine if Frida is a candidate for
a Big Brother-like institution that measures the success or failure
of a mother’s devotion. Faced with the possibility of losing
Harriet, Frida must prove that a bad mother can be redeemed. That
she can learn to be good. A searing page-turner that is also a
transgressive novel of ideas about the perils of “perfect”
upper-middle class parenting, the violence enacted upon women by
both the state and, at times, one another, the systems that
separate families, and the boundlessness of love, The School for
Good Mothers introduces, in Frida, an everywoman for the ages.
Using dark wit to explore the pains and joys of the deepest ties
that bind us, Chan has written a modern literary classic.
