Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother, Paperback

Paperback edition of the much discussed parenting guide and memoir which details Chua's Chinese method of bringing up her daughters. It was supposed to be a story of how Chinese parents are better at parenting 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 13 year old. The hardback caused a storm of publicity, and this paperback has new material, including an afterword and Chua's daughter's defence of her mother. 'A treat from first to last' Independent
