Guardian Bookshop Notes:

A brilliant and funny cross-cultural love story from a prize-winning Chinese film-maker and author. Deliberately written in bad English, it follows a Chinese woman called Z as she moves to London and falls for an older English man. With each chapter being the definition of a word, it is a fiendishly clever book which pokes fun at England and China and is sure to attract a lot of media attention.

Publisher's description:

Written in short chapters, each the definition of a word, this book pokes fun at England and China and explores the endless possibilities for misunderstanding between East and West, men and women.
