Have you ever thought about the possible repercussions of China's one child
per family law, which it is estimated will result in a strong imbalance in
the usual male to female ratio? If you are a woman, would you want to be
married to more than one husband at a time? If you are a man, would you
want to be part of a plural marriage where you share a wife? How would you
feel about raising children from multiple partners?
Please join us on Friday, June 1 to discuss Maggie Shin King's debut novel
"An excess Male", DB 89823, which illuminates the possible consequences of
China's one child per family law.
Here is the BARD annotation:
