- Follow @AmeriesBookClub on IG, and join me and Alice Pung on my IGLIVE (@Amerie) Nov. 29 9pm EST/6pm PST (Since Ms. Pung is in Australia, we'll be having our chat in the evening instead of the afternoon!). Bring your questions!
In ONE HUNDRED DAYS, Alice Pung delivers an epistolary novel that is full of anxiety and claustrophobia, and heaping with humor and poignancy. Sixteen-year-old Karuna’s pregnancy leads her through a journey of examination as she explores her relationship with herself, her mother, and her unborn child. In this page-turner, which is a long letter to her baby, Karuna explains how everything came to pass, including her mother’s determination to raise the baby as her own, with Karuna as the baby’s sister. With an immense love, Karuna recounts both caring and harrowing interactions with her parents as she wonders what kind of mother she will become. Can she be enough for her child? How does she manage her loving relationship with her mother when her mother is so set upon controlling her? These questions continue right through the story’s climax, during which Karuna and her mother’s dynamic is at its most stressed. Through laughter and tears, I came away loving both women, and full of hope for the future of their new family.

ABOUT ALICE PUNG
Alice was born in Footscray, Victoria, a month after her parents Kuan and Kien arrived in Australia. Alice’s father, Kuan - a survivor of Pol Pot’s Khmer Rouge regime - named her after Lewis Carroll’s character because after surviving the Killing Fields, he thought Australia was a Wonderland.
Alice grew up in Footscray and Braybrook, and changed high schools five times - almost once every year! These experiences have shaped her as a writer because they taught her how to pay attention to the quiet children and young adults that others might overlook or miss.
Alice Pung’s first book, Unpolished Gem, is an Australian bestseller which won the Australian Book Industry Newcomer of the Year Award and was shortlisted in the Victorian and NSW Premiers’ Literary awards. It was published in the UK and USA in separate editions and has been translated into several languages including Italian, German and Indonesian.
Alice is a qualified lawyer and still works as a legal researcher in the area of minimum wages and pay equity. She lives with her husband Nick and three children at Janet Clarke Hall, the University of Melbourne, where she is the Artist in Residence.
In 2022 Alice was awarded the Order of Australia Medal for her services to literature.

Happiness is a journey, not a destination. ^_~
Crazy how she went from singing to reading books

It’s this one thing that got me tripping
Amerie you HAVE to come back to the music industry, you are literally are an idol and we really miss you. We all know “They” stole your sound because they weren’t creative enough to come up with their own, but it’s not like your sound/style of music just went away, you can still create more of it because we all know your talented enough to. I really hope you see my comment and it motivates you to make more music 🫶🏾
Thank you Amerie, thank you for everything you share with us whether it is on instagram or youtube... Cheers from France ❤
And I love that book and your videos and your music videos too ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I’m so inspired 🫶🏾🥰🙏🏾
I watched a video edit about food with your music, and I ended up stopping here
Discovered you through your music and surprised yet happy to say I stayed for the book recommendations, thank you
That comment about the hospital wanting people to keep coming back...😅

I miss ur music ❤🙏🏾
Her songs are tranding on IG again. So happy for her.
I am expecting her huge come back ❤
this sound good
Amerie, I'll say it for you: American parents, the majority it seems, are afraid to PARENT their children. They want to be their "best friends" and/or just let them figure life out on their own. They are afraid to discipline their children. Hence the reason, also, for so many entitled behaviors.
I'm going to have to check this book out. Thanks for the recommendation. 😊
Wow, this will definitely be a great read. I sure could resonate. Thanks for sharing Amerie 😊
Sounds like a good read. Parents want the best and use different approaches; Some to extreme
You describe this so beautifully I’m intrigued and would like to look in my local library 🥹💕
ITS THIS ONE THING THAT GOT ME TRIPPIN
😊❤
Thank you!
its this one book that got me trippin
We can experience that bluntness from black parents and grandparents as well. My friend’s mom would always say something to embarrass me or insult me. I didn’t take it seriously though, we would laugh and then later I would jokingly tell my friend that I was going to get her one day 👊! It was hilarious to me. I would always wonder what she would say this time. She treated me like her child. RIP.
Sounds like a great book from the depiction and details noted.
Love u!!!
Amerie can I get a heart react from you ❤ just want to say you explained the book very well and I just ordered your album Love & War. I had bought it when I was a teenager but then left it my dad's car and never got it back. So I just ordered it now here as a adult 😂💗
