Growing up in an affluent neighbourhood in 1930s Shanghai, Loo Shu-hsin is told that it is 'no good for a girl to be smart' - and yet when rumours of the revolution reach their enclave, she is the one sent abroad for an education. In New York, she meets Chao-Pei, a Chinese engineering student, and they set out to make a life together. By the time their daughter - Gish Jen - is born, her parents have only sporadic contact with their families, who are locked in repressive Maoist China. And in her struggle to discipline her American daughter, Loo Shu-hsin finds herself repeating the punishing refrains - 'Bad bad girl! You don't know how to talk!' - that punctured her own childhood.   Bad Bad Girl is a compelling exploration of a mother's life in exile from one of America's finest stylists.","brand":"Granta Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52091207582039,"sku":"9781803513249","price":17.09,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781803513249.jpg?v=1762274338","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/bad-bad-girl-9781803513249","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
