Boston GlobeGish Jen has written the multigenerational mother-daughter epic of our new century. Junot DiazHeart-piercingly personal. . . . Suffused with love. Los Angeles TimesMy mother had died, but still I heard her voice. . .Gishs mother, Loo Shu-hsin, is born in 1924 to a wealthy Shanghai family whose girls are expected to restrain themselves. Her beloved nursemaidfar closer to her than her real motheris torn from her even as she is constantly reprimanded: Bad bad girl! You dont know how to talk! Sent to a modern Catholic school by her progressive father, she receives not only an English nameAgnesbut a first-rate education. To his delight, she excels. But proud as he is, he can only sigh, Too bad. If you were a boy, you could accomplish a lot. Agnes finds solace in books and in 1947 announces her intention to pursue a PhD in America. As the Communist revolution looms, she sets sailnever to return.Lonely and adrift in New York, she begins dating Jen Chao-pe, an engineering student. They do their best to block out the increasingly dire plight of their families back home and successfully establish a new American life: Marriage! A house in the suburbs! A number one son! By the time Gish is born, though, the news from China is proving inescapable; their marriage is foundering; and Agnes, confronted with a strong-willed, outspoken daughter distinctly reminiscent of herself, is repeating the refrainBad bad girl!as she recapitulates the harshness of her own childhood.Spanning continents, generations, and cultures, Bad Bad Girl is a novel only Gish Jen could have written: genre-bending, courageous, wise, and as incisive as it is compassionate.
