The book is a diary of a young woman ?from China who goes to London to study English and ends up in a relationship with an older man. ?It explores the issue of cross cultural communication and more generally how different people express and experience love. ?In the end it is a coming of age tale about how she becomes an adult women who is fully in charge of her own life and does not let her family or lovers define her.
The novel itself is very short but?satisfying?and is one of the few books that I think makes me a better person for having read it. ?Since I have been in relationships with people from China and other?cultures?the book really struck a cord and I could see much of my past relationships, both the highs and lows, in this fictional relationship. ?I am not usually one for novels about relationships and emotions but this one I felt was very well done.
