RECOMENDADO POR JENNA BUSH EN SU CLUB DE LECTURA DEL TODAY SHOW

Preseleccionada para la Medalla Carnegie de Excelencia del 2023.

Seleccionado como uno de los libros favoritos de la Lista de Lectura de Verano 2022 de Barack Obama.

En este éxito de ventas del New York Times y el programa de televisión Today - Read with Jenna Book Club Pick, un error en el juicio lleva a una joven madre a un programa de reformas del gobierno donde la custodia de su hijo está en juego, en este "surrealista" (People), "notable" (Vogue) y "exasperantemente oportuno" (The New York Times Book Review) estreno de novela.

Una novela inteligente que captura las presiones de la maternidad moderna y muestra cómo la sociedad juzga rápidamente a los demás. Impresionante, intrépida, con cierto humor macabro y con mucho suspense. Una novela feminista magistral.

TODA MUJER TIENE UN MAL DÍA

Frida Liu es una madre soltera de 39 años propensa a la ansiedad. En Filadelfia, donde vive, la denuncian por dejar a su hija sola durante un breve período de tiempo. Los Servicios de Protección Infantil del Estado, cada vez más empoderados, se llevan a su hija Harriet y ponen en vigilancia la casa de Frida. Después de una serie de visitas supervisadas, un juez considera que Frida no es apta como madre, temporalmente.

Su única esperanza es seguir compartiendo la custodia de Harriet con su ex (y la cariñosa novia de él) y aprobar los exámenes 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 (y a otras malas madres de todo el país) a convertirse de nuevo en madres aptas. El Estado ha creado ayudantes e instructores que deberán ayudar a las madres in situ. Se trata de jóvenes programados para medir y registrar si las mujeres arrepentidas por su comportamiento sienten una profunda devoción hacia sus hijos. Estos ayudantes se convertirán en algo muy parecido a sus hijos.

Frida y otras mujeres viven en esta escuela durante un año indigno. Un año en el que Frida oscilará 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 está segura de poder sobrevivir. Otras madres no han sobrevivido. Sin embargo, Frida está 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.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Longlisted for the 2023 Carnegie Medal for Excellence.

Selected as One of Barack Obama's Summer 2022 Reading List Picks!

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.

Easy to install and great value.
Model: 197mil 31 sqft Car Sound Deadening Mat
Very easy to cut and install with the rollers I bought separately. It adheres well even though I was installing it when the weather was closer to 40-50 degrees. Definitely helps to deaden the sound from the bare sheet metal.

Would recommend
Size: 10 sqft
I used this sound deadening material in my car during an audio and interior upgrade, and the difference was noticeable immediately. Road noise, vibrations, and rattling were reduced a lot, especially on the doors and floor panels. The car feels much quieter and more solid while driving now. The material was easy to cut and apply, and the adhesive stuck very well without peeling up. It has a quality feel to it and conforms nicely around curves and tight areas. I also noticed my speakers sound cleaner and have better bass response after installing it. For the price, this sound deadening material is a great value and definitely worth it if you want a quieter ride and better overall sound quality in your vehicle.

Worth it!
Size: 50 sqft
I was worried it wouldn't work as well since it's 50 mil and I thought I got the wrong thing. Nope! Works great. Did all four doors on my 93 civic and I have enough for the floor I think. Solid price. Noise reduced by about 5 decibels hive difference. Very sticky and easy to apply I'm so happy I was able to cover most all of my car. If I need more, definitely buying this since I got so much extra and I thought I would. PS: that five decibel thing is only with the four doors. My firewall is next and then my floor, but it's such a huge difference
