The School for Good Mothers - Jessamine Chan

"I also wanted to write the Chinese American heroine that I’ve always wanted to see on the page: someone who is really flawed and vulnerable and desirous and selfish and full of contradictions. And I wanted to have a character of color, specifically an Asian American woman, who gets to be a mess.” Author Jessamine Chan discusses The School for Good Mothers with Alka Joshi on NPT's A WORD ON WORDS.
