About this book

Ingratitude: A Novel by Chen, Ying. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780520220133.

"I was dying to see Mother suffer at the sight of my corpse," announces the young woman at the heart of this powerful and disquieting novel, which has won acclaim in France and in Canada upon original publication in French. In Ingratitude,Ying Chen tells the story of Yan-Zi, who decides to commit suicide in order to escape the yoke of her dominating mother. The narrators account of her final days recalls the chilling detachment of Camuss The Stranger.
