The Manicurist's Daughter

Part family saga, part mystery, The Manicurist's Daughter grips you right from the beginning and doesn't let go. Local author Susan Lieu was determined to publish this memoir when she was thirty-eight, the same age her mother was when she mysteriously died from plastic surgery gone wrong. Lieu's tenacious mother had been the rock that held their extended Vietnamese family together. With no understanding of the circumstances and a family who refused to discuss what happened, Lieu's search for healing over the years led her from a cult to spirit channelling to a one-woman show about her mother. This absorbing and propulsive memoir is a must-read!
