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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBad Bad Girl is a compelling exploration of a mother's life in exile from one of America's finest stylists.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Griffin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56350865424757,"sku":"9781803513249","price":18.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0379\/1365\/7388\/files\/9781803513249.jpg?v=1763291224","url":"https:\/\/www.griffinbooksonline.pro\/products\/9781803513249","provider":"Griffin Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
