Have you ever wanted to have a doll that could talk to you? In the book The Ventriloquist's Daughter, a girl named Liur gets a doll like this. But it doesn't turn out to be as fun as she thought.

Lin Man-Chiu, an author from Taiwan, wrote the book. British translator Helen Wang translated it into English. The book tells a touching story about Liur and her father.

Liur loses her mother at a young age. Her grandfather sends her father to a medical school in the US. Five years later, he comes back with a doll named Carola, as he once promised he would. This doll is quite unusual-it can talk! However, Carola makes a lot of problems for the family.

But now she has forgiven him. The talking doll Carola stands for her father's burden (负担).

After I learned this，I understood the author's main message. Everyone has demons (心魔) in their lives, but we should do our best to beat them.
