Author Susan Lieu joins Zibby to discuss her stunning, devastating, and intimate memoir (and Zibby’s April Book Club Pick!), THE MANICURIST’S DAUGHTER. Susan describes her childhood as the daughter of Vietnamese refugees in California. Then she talks about her savvy and charismatic mother, who, after setting up two successful nail salons, died from a botched tummy tuck when Susan was only eleven. Susan describes her long journey to understand her mother's untimely, traumatizing death—from memory, through detective work, and even by spirit conjuring. She also talks about her own struggles with body image, her relationship with her family members, and the challenges of navigating intergenerational trauma. Finally, she talks about her creative process, including the evolution of her one-woman show and the experience of writing this memoir.
