About this ebook
A SUNDAY TIMES AND NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER: the most talked-about book of the year
'Blissfully funny' India Knight, Sunday Times
'Entertaining, bracingly honest and, yes, thought-provoking' New York Times
'A treat from first to last: ruefully funny, endlessly self-deprecating, riven with ironies .. I relished this memoir' I
Updated with a new postscript by Amy Chua and a letter from her eldest daughter, Sophia
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.

I loved it soo much that I'm all for what it stands for. And if I ever have kids, I'm definitely going to be a tiger mom myself. I love that the mother is all the way actively involved in raising her kids, she is also challenging herself. She's not just barking reaching orders and drop her kids at a deep end.

This is an extremely quick read that doesn't pull any punches, much like the author's parenting style. Loved it. Cause for discussion everywhere in this book and a true reason to reevaluate what you feel is "best" for your child.
