"Mother's Tongue" - The Power of Language Erupts in the Novel ‘Mother’s Tongue’

HONG KONG - Dec. 9, 2013 - PRLog -- Is it possible for someone to lose the ability to speak a language she’s been using for the past 50 years after undergoing surgery? Set in Hong Kong, the fascinating novel Mother’s Tongue poses many questions when a woman undergoes brain surgery for 14 hours, far longer than her surgeon expects.

When she wakes up, she speaks in a dialect that no one in her family can understand. Like most of the people in Hong Kong, the woman’s family speaks Cantonese. Some older members also use Hakka, a dialect of the Guangdong Province. So when the woman starts talking in Chiu Chow, her family is puzzled. The woman’s daughter decides to solve the mystery.

What could have happened in this woman’s past that is now blocking her language ability? Her daughter intends to find out the buried secrets in Mother’s Tongue: A Story of Forgiving and Forgetting.
