A Novel
by Amy Chua
Book Reviewed by:
The grown-ups, paralyzed, were staring in horror at that pile of laundry, too frightened to step forward. On top of it lay Iris, like a broken doll, face up, dark curls strewn, one eye open, her bare neck twisted at a terribly wrong angle. My Dy-Dee doll died twice. Once when I snapped her head off … and once under the sun lamp trying to get warm, she melted.
Encircling Iris's grotesquely bent neck was a laceration, fresh and thin and red and angry.
