The School for Good Mothers
by Jessamine Chan
The School for Good Mothers depicts what seem like a far-away dystopian world but can easily become a reality in the not so distant future.
Jessamine Chan has produced a taut and terrifying debut- one wherein a single lapse in judgement forces a young mother to enroll in a government reform program for "bad mothers".
Faced with the possibility of losing her child, Frida Liu must prove that she can live up to the standards set for good mothers- that she can unlearn her bad parenting methods.
This debut is a brilliant reflection of the unrealistic expectations society places on a mother (on women in general), of how women are often not treated as living, breathing humans but as a body existing solely for the purpose of bearing and rearing children.
I'd highly recommend this book to dystopian fiction lovers. Thanks to Edelweiss and the publisher for providing me with a digital copy of the book to review.
