The School for Good Mothers

by Jessamine Chan
The School for Good Mothers
The School for Good Mothers

Parenthood scrutinized; society's perfectionist gaze unflinching.

Diving into "The School for Good Mothers" offers a chilling reflection on parenthood under the microscope of an unforgiving society. As you walk alongside Frida Liu, your sense of empathy will be tested against a narrative that echoes Orwellian undertones. The suspense that unravels as Frida battles to reclaim her life resonates deeply with the anxiety of modern parenting, and the price of making a mistake in a world that demands flawless motherhood.
