Amy Chua‘s controversial parenting memoir, Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother, has inspired the cover for Time magazine’s January 31st issue.
The cover story revealed that Chua wrote her memoir during a rebellious period with her daughter, Lulu. Here’s more from the article: “In particular, the two fought epic battles over violin practice … Finally, after a screaming, glass-smashing, very public showdown, the tiger mother admitted defeat: ‘Lulu,’ she said, ‘you win. It’s over. We’re giving up the violin.'”
Currently, Chua’s book occupies the #5 spot on the New York Times hardcover nonfiction list. The article also discussed the various reactions to the book. Chua claims to have received angry emails and death threats. But, she also said many readers have reacted positively.
