A review by briaacore
The School for Good Mothers by Jessamine Chan

This was the first of many books that I read to the song Infinite Love by Emile Mosseri. Perfect song for this book, filled with beautiful emotional wails that - along with the inner thoughts of the main character - seem to scream desperation and longing. Unreliable narrator, the main character clearly unwell and unable to face the reality of what she's done. Confusing ownership for love, desperate for love and acceptance wherever she can get it. The Asian-American experience is beautifully interwoven within this narrative, and you can see clearly how this affects her thought processes and actions. One of my favorites (though, from what I remember, the ending was a tad underwhelming).
