A Concise Chinese-English Dictionary for Lovers

Klappentext Z is a 23-year-old Chinese language student who has come to London to learn English. When the book begins she can barely ask for a cup of tea! but when language comes! so does love. As she gets to know British culture she also falls for an older English bachelor. It's a million miles away from the small Chinese town she comes from! where her parents want nothing more for her than that she should follow them into the shoe business. Z learns about sex! humour! companionship and passion! but she also learns the painful truth that language is also a barrier and the more you know about it! the less you understand. Written in short chapters! each the definition of a word! this is a brilliantly clever book that pokes fun at England and China and explores the endless possibilities for misunderstanding between East and West! men and women.
