Quote:
"The girls – who are both accomplished musicians – also spent a lot of
time with Amy and her husband, playing Monopoly or table tennis while their
parents sipped wine. 'I don’t know why I didn’t put any of that in the
book,' she says, with some regret. 'I just strung together the most extreme
situations. It proves that I was not trying to write a parenting book!'
"She and her Jewish husband, also a law professor at Yale, are “socially
liberal”. It is in this regard that some of her Asian students who have
been raised by strict parents have difficulties. 'If they’re coming out of
the closet, if they want to be a fashion designer instead of a lawyer, this
can create problems,' she says.
