About the book

Meet Elaine Lui's mother. She's a movie, an Amy Tan novel, and a sitcom all rolled into one.' Or as her daughter sums it up: 'She's Chinese, she squawks like a chicken, she is totally nuts, and I am totally dependent on her.' With tales of brutal mah-jong competitions, all-cap texts ('YOUR BAD SKIN NEED SOUP'); public shaming and pearls of occasionally-bizarre wisdom; Lui not only paints a portrait of a challenging, frustrating, fascinating woman that will make you laugh and cry, she eloquently describes exactly what it's like to love someone who drives you crazy.'
