Review 'Blissfully funny' India Knight, Sunday Times 'Millions of British children could use a Tiger Mother in their tank' Allison Pearson, Daily Telegraph 'A treat from first to ruefully funny, endlessly self-deprecating, riven with ironies .. I relished this memoir' Independent 'Entertaining, bracingly honest and, yes, thought-provoking' New York Times Product Description Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother 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 thirteen-year-old. Witty, entertaining and provocative, this is a unique and important book that will transform your perspective of parenting forever. About the Author Amy Chua is the John M.
