What I feel most days is that nothing is ever
going to change. That my life won’t even start,
and that I’ll be stuck like this forever.


Wen Zhou is the only child of Chinese immigrants
whose move to the lucky country has proven to be not
so lucky. Wen and her friend, Henry Xiao — whose
mum and dad are also struggling immigrants — both
dream of escape from their unhappy circumstances,
and form a plan to sit an entrance exam to a selective
high school far from home. But when tragedy strikes, it
will take all of Wen’s resilience and resourcefulness to
get herself and Henry through the storm that follows.

Tiger Daughter is a novel that will grab hold
of you and not let go.
