Frances (Fei Ting) is a Chinese-American high school senior who is caught between her own desires and those of her mother, a traditionally focused Chinese woman who has her daughter’s future mapped out and is willing to make every sacrifice necessary to make it happen. Nancy Wu narrates from Frances’s point of view with a straightforward American accent. However, it is her reading of Frances’s mother that really shines. Her clipped Asian-accented English conveys all of Frances’s mother’s conviction and pride. Wu’s gentler portrayal of Frances allows the listener to hear the conflict in her voice as Frances must choose between her passion and her mother’s expectations.
