ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"The School for Good Mothers" by Jessamine Chan centers on Frida Liu, a single mother who faces the harsh consequences of leaving her young daughter unattended for a brief period. This mistake lands Frida in a rehabilitation program designed to reform "bad mothers". Within this institution, mothers are subjected to intense scrutiny and unconventional methods as they strive to prove their fitness to regain custody of their children. The novel delves into the pressures and judgments placed upon mothers, exploring themes of societal expectations, the complexities of single parenthood, and the power of the state in family matters. Frida's journey highlights the fragility of maternal rights and the arduous path to redemption in a system that closely monitors every move.
