As portraits of tough mother-daughter relationships go, it’s as moving and healing as they come.” – NPR (listen here) “Really very good… Bad Bad Girl is shocking, illuminating and in places truly heartbreaking. When a book contains all of that, does it really matter which category it falls into?”—The London Times (read here) “Brims with hard-won insights…nearly every page will have readers nodding in recognition.” — The Minnesota Star Tribune (read here) “A great novelist distills the truth of her mother’s life, and her own… as moving as they come.” — Kirkus Reviews ✪ “Astute and revelatory.” — Publisher’s Weekly ✪ “Heartbreaking and stunning.” - Library Journal ✪ “A singular intergenerational novel … Imperative for anyone interested in immigrant experiences, the complexities of family, and in the art of writing personal history.” – Shelf Awareness ✪ “Unsentimental, insightful, and brutally honest.” - Jung Chang, author of Wild Swans: Three Daughters of China “A tender, poignant family history, laced with sharp insight and quiet humour. Bad Bad Girl is not just the story of women who journeyed from the old world to the new, but also of the luminous, deeply personal world they carried within.” —Yan Ge, author of Elsewhere https://www.gishjen.com/books-source/hymn monthly 0.5 2025-12-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5db45661bed191510d38625d/417af309-be23-48f2-b72e-dcf1deefc9cc/TYMN_Cover.jpg Books-Source https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5db45661bed191510d38625d/738c5d82-5f34-443d-ad57-5892c3f799b2/IMG_0347.jpeg Books-Source -
