商品簡介
Una novela inteligente que captura las presiones de la maternidad moderna y muestra c鏔o la sociedad juzga r嫚idamente a los dem嫳. Impresionante, intr廧ida, con cierto humor macabro y con mucho suspense. Una novela feminista magistral. TODA MUJER TIENE UN MAL D泝 Frida Liu es una madre soltera de 39 a隳s propensa a la ansiedad. En Filadelfia, donde vive, la denuncian por dejar a su hija sola durante un breve per甐do de tiempo. Los Servicios de Protecci鏮 Infantil del Estado, cada vez m嫳 empoderados, se llevan a su hija Harriet y ponen en vigilancia la casa de Frida. Despu廥 de una serie de visitas supervisadas, un juez considera que Frida no es apta como madre, temporalmente. Su ica esperanza es seguir compartiendo la custodia de Harriet con su ex (y la cari隳sa novia de 幨) y aprobar los ex嫥enes impuestos por el nuevo y preciado programa gubernamental. Se trata de un programa interno de doce meses, una escuela situada en un campus universitario abandonado, que ha de ayudar a Frida (ya otras malas madres de todo el pa疄) a convertirse de nuevo en madres aptas. El Estado ha creado ayudantes e instructores que deber嫕 ayudar a las madres in situ. Se trata de j镽enes programados para medir y registrar si las mujeres arrepentidas por su comportamiento sienten una profunda devoci鏮 hacia sus hijos. Estos ayudantes se convertir嫕 en algo muy parecido a sus hijos. Frida y otras mujeres viven en esta escuela durante un a隳 indigno. Un a隳 en el que Frida oscilar?de la obstinada esperanza al dolor en medio de un constante adoctrinamiento. A pesar del afecto que empieza a sentir por su "ayudante", Frida no est?segura de poder sobrevivir. Otras madres no han sobrevivido. Sin embargo, Frida est?decidida a reunirse nuevamente con Harriet, para recordarle a su hija el valor de su amor imperfecto, al margen de si el Estado la considera una buena madre o no.

In this New York Times bestseller and Today show Read with Jenna Book Club Pick, one lapse in judgement lands a young mother in a government reform program where custody of her child hangs in the balance, in this "surreal" (People), "remarkable" (Vogue), and "infuriatingly timely" (The New York Times Book Review) debut novel. Frida Liu is struggling. She doesn't have a career worthy of her Chinese immigrant parents' sacrifices. She can't persuade her husband, Gust, to give up his wellness-obsessed younger mistress. Only with Harriet, their cherubic daughter, does Frida finally attain the perfection expected of her. Harriet may be all she has, but she is just enough. Until Frida has a very bad day. The state has its eye on mothers like Frida. The ones who check their phones, letting their children get injured on the playground; who let their children walk home alone. Because of one moment of poor judgement, a host of government officials will now determine if Frida is a candidate for a Big Brother-like institution that measures the success or failure of a mother's devotion. Faced with the possibility of losing Harriet, Frida must prove that a bad mother can be redeemed. That she can learn to be good. An "intense" (Oprah Daily), "captivating" (Today) page-turner that is also a transgressive novel of ideas about the perils of "perfect" upper-middle class parenting; the violence enacted upon women by both the state and, at times, one another; the systems that separate families; and the boundlessness of love, The School for Good Mothers introduces, in Frida, an everywoman for the ages. Using dark wit to explore the pains and joys of the deepest ties that bind us, Chan has written a modern literary classic.
